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
