The Walk - Why Drawing Slows Down Time

MP3•Episode home

Something surprising happened this past week. I started drawing again.

It began with a challenge—Inktober—where you make one drawing a day, inspired by a single word. The first word was mustache. I ended up sketching a tree with a mustache. Not sure why. But I loved it.

The more I drew, the more I felt time slow down.

Most days, time rushes by. I blink and it’s evening. But when I draw, everything quiets. My mind calms. Time stretches. It reminds me of childhood afternoons spent making comics or carving linoleum prints in school. Not to be productive. Just because it was fun.

I used to think I didn’t have time for things like this. That it wasn’t useful. But I’ve come to believe that these small, creative acts—like drawing for no reason—might be the most meaningful moments of the day.

They don't serve a purpose. They don’t impress anyone. They just make me feel more alive. And somehow, more connected to God.

That’s what this podcast episode is about: drawing, childhood memories, slowing down, and why the most “useless” things might actually be the most important.
