Sometimes I sketch to finish and other times I sketch to meditate and explore. This was 45 mins of just slowly enjoying the paper, pencil and the sounds. I don’t do exercises. For me the exercise is just drawing. Today I needed more from this and so I took it slow and took it all in. I forget sometimes to do this for mediation because it buys me a few hours of joy I can lean on for the rest of the day. Yes, I’ll probably finish eventually…maybe. Enjoy the time and keep drawing.
