Over a long call with a close friend, a new tangle pattern popped into my mind a few days ago. After the call, I quickly noted it down on a rough sheet. Later, after dinner, I sat on my desk quietly, playing and toying with this pattern. Luckily, I had just printed out a few unfilled tangle step-out sheets that I give to my students enrolled in the Tangle Refresher Course. So, I quickly removed one of the sheets and drew the step-out of the tangle pattern.
So here’s my new Tangle Pattern E2. It is here to celebrate the festive season and the joy of year's end.
ART THERAPY is only the outcome of your engagement or indulgence in the artistic experience. Its funny that how much we OVERuse the word therapeutic, that slowly it is begin to lose its deep meaning and essence in our lives. And sometimes it is so lost……

I pulled out my Sketchbook that I recently bought from @furrytailarts; a small business owner in India.
And the noon was warm with a slight cool breeze; good sunlight, and I had just finished creating a lovely watercolor surface.
Within an hour I completed the drawing. It was a long hard day; had to do so many errands, and many things went wrong, but time spent on just the sketchbook was relished. It was one of the best things of the day, so I wrote it in my Gratitude Journal.

I began pouring my deepest meditative rhythm into my practice from early 2016. Not a single day passed without a Pen, Pencil and A Zentile—each morning I greeted my tangles by name, asked them to inspire me, and when pen touched the paper the ideas would simply flow.
In the last quarter of 2022, life required another kind of devotion. Reluctantly, I put down my pen to care for my little angel, who was in dire pain. The days that followed were volatile and heavy. Without my constant companions—pen and paper—I found it harder to keep pace with the world.
