 Even just looking at that tile encourages me to take a deep breath and relax. This next one is busier but was equally fun to create.  This morning I stumbled across an excellent post on meditation and people's misconceptions about it. It's quite short and is by Arnie Kozak, a guest blogger on the wonderful Susan Cain's site; you can read it here. He really touches on the most common assumption about meditation--that it's about "stopping the mind." It isn't. But drawing frequently does stop my mind and pulls me into total absorption on the one line that I am drawing in this moment. Thus, meditation and drawing serve the same purpose in different ways for me. "Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time."
--Thomas Merton
