Sunlight filters through the leaves, casting shimmering patterns on the surface of the lake. My gaze sweeps the ground until it lands on the familiar shape of my missing pencil. A wave of relief softens my shoulders as I retrieve it, settling onto the weathered bench with a contented exhale. The air is heavy with a comfortable silence, a space I inhabit naturally. My pencil moves with a quiet certainty, tracing the outlines of earnest, clumsy doodles across the page: playful cats, sturdy trees, and drifting clouds. This is my language—simple, honest, and far preferable to speech.
