I always say it clearly I’m not a professional speaker of English. However, I can feel the beautiful meaning between lines of the writing. So honestly I enjoy these tweets and I could feel their beauty. Sometimes, we find the beauty at the kids when they tell us very nice jokes without any intention to say it in a way to make us smile. So life is beautiful Sossoo🌹

I have an offbeat question, related to the caption under the artwork: "...Kaoru Yamada, whose work has a very Owl! at the Library vibe..."

It's about pattern recognition.

Have there been any studies of the brain that show what's "working" that allows someone to find similarities, even patterns, between pieces of art, not to mention pieces of art from different genres?

I ask because (1) I can instantly "grok" that same vibe and (2) I wonder if this is a distinction of introverts.

though I don't think of the similarities as being a matter of pattern so much as sensibility or soul - which maybe can be expressed as patterns too, even though I think it's not how we experience them

Here’s my take: I think within introversion, some of us are wired more analytically — and identify patterns based on empirical evidence (so we can quantify those patterns) and some are wired more aesthetically — and we identify those patterns and connections based on how they make us feel rather than what we observe.

Great questions - and I don't know the answer!

Very nice to meet you Susan Cain! And introducing me to Owl, at the Library. Both of you write what I resonate with and am starved for. Thank you.

Such a beautiful share! Boze’s mission statement just struck me, it’s too real for the country I live in. The decay is heartbreaking.

Perfect read. Very inspiring. Just today, I thought 🤔 about offering people tarot card readings for self analysis. 🎴🧙‍♀️

Maybe even doing them on my Instagram @nebula_striker6. Feel free 🙋‍♀️ to follow the ✨UNKNOWN ✨🧙‍♀️🌞.

I feel like I'm reading my own thoughts as I read the “Owl”.

@marjorieapple “Marjorie’s Musings” is a person not dissimilar in thinking. She’s writing here, now, and is writing as a new chapter in a lovely, variegated life.

Owl at the Library is one of my favorite accounts, and I feel that he is a kindred spirit as well. His posts make me feel happy and seen. The art you chose today is so magical, as well! I love being part of this community!
