You know, sometimes it so happens, you stumble upon the exact thing you need to hear or read. That thing...that's absolutely essential and relevant to your present state of mind and you don't realize it until you come across it? This article I read on BrainPickings about the illustrator Lynda Barry, was something like that to me. It talks about how drawing/doodling can be therapeutic and how to cultivate the capacity for creative observation. I draw/doodle almost everyday. For me it's become more of a habit now.
