In which Jeremy pares down

This past week a respectable source firmly suggested that I articulate and solidify the concepts in my drawings. I get as far as some tasty ways of phrasing what I'm thinking about but get stuck a few sentences in. It's time to quiet my thoughts, decide which I'm comfortable letting go of. Lists might be helpful.

Awareness of the self and surroundings
Symbols and what they represent / how they relate
Recognizing and organizing patterns
Why I'm resistant to 'repetition' and 'obsessiveness'
The summation of parts into a whole... and beyond
Comfort
Ambiguous forms
How and if 'human' processes all of this differently than 'nature'

All these and maybe more to be sifted through and potentially discarded. The roundabout path in which I currently have to take to reach my point does not sit well with me currently. I'm making drawings of earthworms, sproutlings, split logs and radiators for goodness' sake.
