Pointillism takes emotional images, character, etc., and makes them all come together and make a whole that tells a story.

Let the moment go. . . . Don't forget it for a moment, though. Just remembering you've had an "and" when you're back to "or" makes the "or" mean more than it did before. . . . Now I understand! And it's time to leave the woods.
