  3. This could go to symmetry. At the second word of the outside line (of, or, to?), a circle forms through the entire graphic.

  5. I saw moms comment and spent some time trying to read the words. hum she might be right, eye chart for drunk people? ha ha… pretty cool. I have no clue what the quote means, I even researched and read tons of what others think it means and it still means nothing to me. I just don't get it...

      It is simply that communication can often be stronger between people through non-verbal means - particularly those we love.
      We commonly use the 'look of askance' which shows our distaste or shock at a loved one's behaviour for example. Mother's can silence their children with 'the look'... and lovers can convey all by a deep gaze... The whole sentence from which this quote is plucked is...
      “Words are only painted fire, a look is the fire itself. She gave that look, and carried it away to the treasury of heaven, where all things that are divine belong.”
