The quiet around me.

I was thinking about how I really do find drawing to be a meditative activity at the moment. When I'm drawing, and when I was painting this picture, I go into a zone, thinking, thinking, thinking, but calmly. I imagine the place as I draw it. I can feel the quiet. I can hear the fire crackling. I can see the darkness and the mass of stars above me. As I paint the picture takes me there.
