When My Fingers Gave My Wandering Soul Somewhere to Rest

These little drawings were made years ago, almost spontaneously.

They began with something very simple: my fingers moving across a screen, putting together colours, shapes and small figures without thinking too much about whether they were beautiful, sophisticated, or even technically “good”.

Looking at them now, I can see how childlike they are.

But perhaps that was exactly what I needed.

Behind those simple shapes was a wandering soul trying to find somewhere to rest.

At that time, drawing became one small way of stretching beyond my comfort zone. I was quietly exploring what I could make, but perhaps more importantly, what I could become.

The journey was not really happening on the screen.

It was happening somewhere inside me.

I was travelling inward, sometimes towards places I had avoided for a long time—old wounds, insecurities, fears, limitations, and parts of myself that I had not yet learned how to understand.

Slowly, I began to realise that healing was not always about defeating those parts of myself. Sometimes it meant sitting beside them. Becoming familiar with my limits. Learning not to treat every vulnerability as an enemy.

And from there, taking another small step.

A little more courage.

A little more curiosity.

A little more willingness to learn about self-esteem, spirit, and the person I might still become.

Perhaps that is why I still keep these drawings.

They remind me that creativity does not always arrive as great art.

Sometimes it arrives quietly, through a finger touching a screen, a childish-looking flower, two little figures walking together, or an image created without any plan.

And somehow, those small acts can hold an entire inner journey.

These sketches may belong to another time, but the journey they witnessed still belongs to me.

They remind me that even when my soul was wandering, some part of me was already trying to find the way home.

Welcoming Creativity Home

It took me some time to start drawing again.

Don’t ask me why I draw this way. I simply use my fingers and whatever tools are available—whatever gives me the freedom and simplicity to create.

Over time, these strokes have somehow become my signature.

I first discovered these characters during a spiritual journey, when I was imagining the feminine and masculine energies within my soul. Yet when they appeared, they also seemed to carry something much simpler: my inner child. There is joy in them, a little mischief, movement, and the sound of children giggling. Whatever form they take, their spirit has always felt positive.

Tonight, drawing them again felt a little stiff and unfamiliar. I have stopped for some time, and perhaps my fingers have forgotten some of their freedom. But that is okay. Creativity does not always need to return perfectly. Sometimes, it simply needs to return.

This time, I am giving these little sketches a different home.

Perhaps this is also part of learning how to grow my creativity and understand my own creative identity: placing it somewhere where the right frequency may find its way through a sense of alignment.

Geilstonia can be that space.

A place where I can become a little braver with art, even in a world that often makes creativity feel like another competition.

I am not here to make perfect art.
I am here to keep creating.

A small commitment to the soul, one imperfect stroke at a time.

So perhaps the best way to open Geilstonia’s creativity page is simply this:

Welcome home, creativity.
