hey poet-- i haven't been keeping up with PB lately, but i was scanning through and your post caught my eye. i definitely agree that there's something calming about coloring. the first time i was in the hospital, i was in an adolescent and young adult program, and they did a lot of activities including art therapy. stuff you mentioned like drawing or painting actually makes me more stressed because i feel required to produce something "good," but i don't feel that with coloring. i also found origami really soothing. i should get out my crayola big box and hello kitty and carebear coloring books-- i definitely need some kind of release!
thanks for the reminder,
cb
