When I am thinking, some of my thoughts and ideas are in words. Some are in feelings and emotions. Others are in concepts or pictures. When I am having thoughts that are not in words it is sometimes very difficult to express these thoughts. Is there a way, using science or philosophy or some other means, to get these thoughts and ideas out to others? D.D.

I think many people have this kind of experience. Perhaps art, at least in certain of its forms, is a response to it. Which is to say: Maybe you should try writing a poem, composing a symphony, or creating a sculpture.
