The rat in the maze is not just learning a series of turns, but is building up a cognitive map of the whole situation.
And when two such people encounter each other, and their eyes meet, the past and the future become unimportant. There is only that moment, and the incredible certainty that everything under the sun has been written by one hand only. It is the hand that evokes love, and creates a twin soul for every person in the world. Without such love, one's dreams would have no meaning.
My mental illness is the source of my art.
