Cosmic Mysteries - Tee

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. 

Check out our Collabs page to see how we’ve used Flash to map what we are co-creating with other Queerdos and our comrades

Cosmic Mysteries: That which causes experiences / revelations / dreams of scale / insignificance / patterns / truths / beginnings & endings.

“The language of power-from-within is poetry, metaphor, symbol, ritual, myth, the language of magic, of ‘thinking in things,’ where the concrete becomes resonant with mysteries that go beyond its seeming solid form. Its language is action, which speaks in the body and to all the senses in ways that can never be completely conveyed in words.” Starhawk, Truth or Dare: Encounters with Power, Authority, and Mystery
