15 Minutes of Fame!

Yes, the Diva has done it again - issued a challenge too attractive to let wait.... take a scant 15 minutes.  Add a pen, a pencil and paper.  Subtract distraction.  Simmer for 15 minutes.  Taste.  What a great recipe for a Zentangle!  It was interesting to note that the time suddenly seemed so short.  Time really does fly when I Zentangle.  I enter the zone, as it were, and time loses all meaning.  A ZIA may take hours or minutes and I really have no idea how much (or little!) time passes while I am lost in the zen of the pen.  A Zentangle, as opposed to a ZIA, can be completed readily in a short 15 minutes.  I will make a point of doing more Zentangles.  It's so grounding and focusing.  In short, relaxing!

It's fun how the mindfullness of the tangles removes the planning, and yet I still see a picture!  In this case, a kind of a morphing squidlike, octopus-ish, tentacle-y sea creature, moving majestically across the page... okay, I have mentioned being more than adequately endowed with an imagination, right? *G*  I'm really looking forward to teaching our first Zentangle class this weekend!

Happy Monday!
