How to think about drawing

Think of drawing as
   deep investigation
   dancing
   mapping terrain
   asking a question
   a love letter
   a change of perspective
   just the right marks
   meaningless play
   a record of self
   more than a past time
   a response to Pontormo
   awe before it all
   a transient answer
   a test of the hand's intelligence
   a denial of the hand's ego
   sustained alertness
   a voice for what can't be spoken
   a tussle between seeing and knowing
   the start of a story
