Zentangle

I went to a Zentangle class yesterday. It’s a form of meditation through art. (www.zentangle.com)
You create repetitive patterns and shapes with ink on tiles.

It was a lot of fun!

I kept my mind unfocused and drew whatever happened to be. I was happy with the result but didn’t think to much into it. It had been a rough week and I just drew to take my mind off of that. I thought it was simple but pretty.

I didn’t realize until today what it was about.

One side is filled with boxes, cages and tangles, the other is open, airy and peaceful.

I could reach that open side through any of the holes in the tangles. I just need to stop seeing everything as a two dimensional cage.

I really like your analysis. It makes so much sense. Great insight, and a good thing for everyone to remember. Thanks for sharing that!
