The Line Between Where We Are and Where We’re Going

Why symbols help us say the things words can’t

We don’t need more noise.

We need meaning.

That’s why symbols endure.

A ladder rising into clouds.Hands releasing a heart.A creature that feels familiar but isn’t named.A circle that holds chaos long enough for us to breathe.

These images don’t explain themselves.They invite us in.

They ask a quiet question:What does this remind you of?

And when grief, change, or uncertainty shows up, reminders matter more than explanations.

Lines become bridges.Circles become containers.Animals become mirrors.Patterns become permission to pause.

None of these images tell a story on their own.They wait for your story to arrive.

That’s the work.

Not decoration.Not distraction.

But holding space.

Because sometimes the most generous thing we can dois leave room for someone else to feel seen.

Symbols don’t explain. They invite. And sometimes that’s exactly what we need.

If this spoke to you, don’t rush past it.

Sit with it.Save it.Or share it with someone who might need a little quiet today.
