Flash (noun): a sudden burst / a brief display / a short summary / a symbolic occurrence. (verb): To burst suddenly / to display for a brief moment / to give a short summary / to occur symbolically. (adjective): sudden / brief / short / symbolic. 
 
I am obsessed with ideas & symbols. Something will just flash into my head, and I suddenly have to draw it as a simple line drawing. I’ll set it aside, and come back to it every so often. Often, this process reveals another flash of insight, a word, phrase, quote. Repeated enough these flashes create a glossary of concepts that include symbol, word, definition, and (a) guiding quote(s). This glossary can then be used to better communicate the complexity and depth of Queerly Complex creations. 
 
Journey: The act of traveling / wandering / cruising from one place / point / location / moment to another.
 
“I found that by discovering what gives me joy in my life, real joy, I could find ways to discover that kind of joy in my gender journey. The deep joy in my own life stems from things like finding missing pieces to philosophical conundrums; or being able to express love for someone; or the freedom to be what I want to be, when I need or want to be that (which very often means being quite alone).” Kate Bornstein, My Gender Workbook
