I do a really good job keeping the anteater away from my design work. But sometimes he jumps over the wall and blurs the boundaries. And since he usually has something astute to say I don’t really mind. What about you?

I draw everyday but there’s just no time to scan and make a beautiful post. So here is the raw drawing.
And happy Diwali everyone!
{Last year I suddenly realized that I was doing well in most respects of life except one. Of course I did what any self-respecting hipster would do: promptly download a meditation app and a couple of spirituality podcasts. And I thought: Yay! I will be spiritual by the end of the year. It’s amazing how these things happen – my friend Indira sent me a spirituality book out of the blue. “The Places That Scare You” by Pema Chödrön. I knew it! The universe really wanted me to be spiritual! And then something happened. I got pregnant! After the initial disbelief, I must say that it was this most commonplace phenomenon that really helped to open my eyes and perceive the wonderful, magical, beauty of creation. Anteater: God you can’t attribute everything to pregnancy – I still believe that the iPhone is the surest path to spirituality.”}
And yes I had my son earlier this year and we have both survived his early life.

I was reading this beautiful poem by Campbell McGrath the other day. You can also listen to it on the Poetry Foundation site.
