A Drawing Meditation

I told my student your best model is your other hand. I told her Draw a line by imagining an ant walking slowly across your hand. A hand meditation? I sink into drawing by drawing my right hand. When I do this every day for a week I notice a rapid improvement in my observation powers and skills. It's so simple and powerful. After drawing I was walking down the street and I noticed the corner of a rocking chair gently moving inside of a window. Perhaps I should teach a drawing class to police detectives.
