Blue Talisman

Before the first sounds were ever uttered and the ingenuity of relating these sounds to meanings descended upon our kind, how much more mystical must the conveyance of these meanings through visuals have been. As if instinctively, the hands acquire cognizance of their place in the sensorimotor network and delicately, almost reverently, materialise these ephemeral meanings dictated by the elusive majesty of our mind. At what level must they somehow relate to one another, such that the common bond of humanity continues to abide? What characteristics begin to narrate the wonderous tale of cultural diversity? How deterministic are the correspondences between colour, shapes, brushstrokes and the message we yearn to leave behind? How variant are the functions behind a seemingly congruent pair of visuals? Will a blue talisman subdue even the most incompetent of oriental vampires? Or can a crucifix penned by brush and ink conjure the grandeur of cathedrals thousands of miles away? And even thus, after our mouths have long been opened and viciousness long since flowed!
