Sometimes I’m lucky enough to spend time in the middle of nature doing one of my favourite things.
I love drawing lines. I’ve shared many posts where I talk about the meditative quality of opening a clean page in my sketchbook and simply drawing lines. I can get lost for hours as I fill a page with line drawings and doodles.
I’ve been participating in Adele Bruno’s weekly ‘It’s As String Thing’ challenges that she hosts on her website Tickled to Tangle, for a few months now.
However, I’ve been lax in sharing the tiles that I’ve completed for the weekly challenges since the spring. The last time I shared one of my tiles was almost 10 challenges ago. That was challenge 288 where Adele chose patterns for us to use that resembled spring flowers.
“We see things not as they are, but as we are. Because it is the ‘I’ behind the ‘eye’ that does the seeing.” ― Anaïs Nin, Author
This is one of my favourite quotes.
It reminds me that I—actually all of us—must be mindful of the assumptions and judgments we make about people in our lives and people in the world around us because we rarely know all the reasons, past or present, that affect someone’s actions and/or behaviours.
