Mindfulness

"Mindfulness is paying attention to what is happening around 

and inside of us each moment, without judging or attempting to change anything."

Ian Gawler & Paul Beson (Meditation: An In-Depth Guide)

What I love most about Zentangle is its meditative quality. When I am truly focused on "one stroke at a time," the past and future recede and I am present. My noisy, chattering mind settles down and I can enjoy the moment.

I couldn't ask for more... A creative outlet and a meditative practice all in one!!!

Present Moment Reminder

The birds they sing at the break of day,

Start again, 

I heard them say,

Don't dwell on what has passed away,

Or what is yet to be...

-Leonard Cohen
