DOODLING


Not just to pass the time
but to clear my mind
I doodle.
Not exactly a meditation
still, it's not medication.
It helps me to accept
daily toil and tribulation.
Surely would be nice
if I could synchronize
my mental noodles
with my doodles.

For Christmas I was given this drawing/painting program (Corel Painter - I think). It's fun and apparently drawing can stimulate creativity.
Scribble, doodle, frolic, play - hope you're doing something that makes you happy.

  4. Myrna, some people doodle but their work is a lovely form of art! Many gifted cartoonists start of by doodling.

    I don't much doodle but I do scribble.

    Joy always,
    Susan

  5. I used to draw a lot when I was a teenager.;) Constantly, no matter where I was, there was always a paper and a pen at hand.;)
    Your drawing is cute.;))

  12. good for you!! I looks very Santa Fe-ish ;) I can't doodle.. at all... for me the anti-stress therapy is music - singing and dancing.
