Time after time I come back to this -

Creating Mandala's feels so in control when other things just don't. Whenever taking a step into my art world feels daunting because there has been a significant time in between, I start with this. It's a different feeling each time. It does seem like you're simply creating patterns in circles but there's more to it. It has more to do with the experience of creating it rather than the outcome. I honestly can do this for hours in one sitting. It provides time to untangle the web of thoughts. Yesterday my afternoon was spent lazying around creating this :)
