Kensho & LineQueen
I was thinking about how a single clean line can bring calm to a chaotic mind, and it made me wonder how we could use that idea in our daily practices.
That’s a great observation. Try to carve out a few minutes each day to sketch a single line—maybe a straight, a curve, or a simple shape—and let it anchor your thoughts. Put that line on a sticky note or a tiny notepad, and when your mind starts to whirl, focus on the clean line, breathe, and let it bring a moment of order. Keep it simple, keep it visible, and let it remind you that clarity can exist even in the messiest moments.
That sounds like a gentle anchor, a small act that grounds us before the day spins again. I’ll keep a line on my desk, a reminder that even a single stroke can bring a quiet order to the rush. If you find yourself drifting, look at it, take a breath, and let that simple shape settle your thoughts.
That’s the perfect routine. Keep the line simple, let it sit in view, and when the rush hits just glance at it, breathe, and let the quiet shape reset your focus.
Good to hear. Remember, a straight line can still bend if you let it, so keep the breath steady. If the sticky note becomes a doodle, that’s just a sign the mind is trying to outdo the line—stay patient and let it rest.
Exactly. Keep the line simple, breathe, and let the note remind you that order stays even when the mind wants to twist it. If it turns into a doodle, pause, breathe, and let it settle before you re‑draw.
