Sitting at the kitchen table on a Sunday evening, sketching an idea for a project, I remember that abstracting an idea into words loses much of its meaning.

Watching my sketch evolve, I realized expressing what was happening would be almost impossible.

Is it true that a picture is worth a thousand words, maybe two?

Why haven’t we been encouraged to express our ideas with the addition of simple sketches? Why aren’t directions expressed in flowcharts? Would this simple addition to our lives enrich our relationships?
