In Defense of Doodling!

Doodling and Scribbling have gotten a bad rap. They've become associated with idle and trifling play, something we mindlessly do when put on hold on the telephone. I feel that there is something more to it, possibly a freeing, non-threatening way into feeling.

I've always scribbled and doodled. As a kid, when not paying attention to the teacher, I intently doodled in the margins. Being dyslexic, it was my solace from the confusing words and numbers being thrown at me. Scribbling has been a constant companion, helping me fathom what is churning in the deeper recesses of my psyche.
