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.
People who don't know me too well, think I do it to show off and some think I'm rude etc etc. But my close friends and family understand that it's just me being me and I love them for that! I don't know, but I always have a sense of peace when I'm drawing. Now if I analyse, it's more like a coping mechanism. Weird things have been happening in life lately, which has kinda put things in a fresh perspective. And hence the doodles! People you meet..and the way they become a part of your life and then they unceremoniously disappear..just like that..damn weird..so ya..that's that..stuff happens..goods, not so goods, and the greys...I am just holding on to the preamble, "whatever happens, happens for a reason.."..ciao for now...
