Abstract Art: Doodling and Symbolism
Mon, September 28, 2009 at 07:00AM "The language of images [of inner-oriented artists]
does not follow a code structure that is evident and widely accepted,
but is more likely to be a complex of symbols
that have a profound meaning for the artists themselves."
~ Kenneth Coutts-Smith
Writer & artist Susan Barrett Price (Flickr artist cosmorochester) describes mind mapping as a form of meditation. Her annotated Mind Map: Travel flows with symbolism. You'll also enjoy her eclectic Mind Map: Iconography. Susan blogs at Mad in Pursuit. Shared with permission from the artist.

Tammy, This is such a fun colorful page! You always have such beautiful artwork to share! I bought some white India Ink a couple weeks ago cuz I remember your radiograph ink where you used White. I just need to find my calligraphy pens and play! I like the way your mind map is in pie segments! I'll have to give this a go!
Eden, The mind map is the creative work of Susan Barrett Price and indeed it is gorgeous. It was the pie chart concept that initially grabbed my curiosity! I look forward to seeing your work with white ink! ~ Tammy
