Zentangle flow

Others besides me have reported the phenomenon of "being in the flow" when drawing a Zentangle(R). I'm usually not aware of until I'm finished with it. I'll look at my tile and wonder how all those lines got on that paper so beautifully and evenly. Sometimes it seems that the Zentangle draws itself. It's that "lost in the moment" feeling that one of the Zentangle creators, Maria Thomas, described when she was drawing patterns as background for illuminated letters. It's this phenomenon, similar to Zen meditation and identified by Rick Roberts, the other Zentangle creator, that became the "Zen" part of the Zentangle name. And that's the beauty of Zentangle. I find that the more I practice the more Zentangle flow I experience. And it doesn't have any calories, either!
