Sunday Sketches - and drawing as therapy

This is pretty interesting - it showed up in my inbox. The article relates 'the healing power of drawing'.

"When we learn that we have a serious illness, we may be overwhelmed with emotion and barely able to think straight. Bernie Siegel, MD, who wrote Love, Medicine & Miracles, a groundbreaking book on the power of attitude and outlook on healing, suggests a strategy that can help us cope. He says that we should get out our crayons and markers and draw—yes, draw. This can help relieve our fears and anxiety—and may even give us insight into feelings we are not consciously aware of."

The rest of the article shows things that one might analyze when looking at art through the prism of health.

And now, for Sunday Sketches, I submit some freeform sketches, of the type that would lend themselves to some sort of therapeutic analysis due to the meditative state through which they were sketched.

I will strive to get to as many participants I can btw late afternoon sometime tomorrow and Monday- and encourage all to do the same! Always great creativity on display in this 2nd year anniversary they are celebrating.

As an aside, I have a question re. comments features on Blogger -

I see that some blogs have the capacity to respond directly to a commenter. My blog does not seem to have that. Is there a workaround? Any insights appreciated!
