All Things Beautiful...Through My Kaleidoscope

Welcome to my page of reflections on the mandala art of Henry Reed. Long ago, I envisioned my writing as viewing life through my looking glass…my kaleidoscope. I love the way the picture changes, with each turn of the scope. Yet, it’s always unique and beautiful. After long enjoying Henry’s mandalas in my daily email, I discovered that, beyond looking at the artwork, I was feeling prompted to write words from my heart regarding what was going on in my life. I began my own daily affirmations, or reflections…and posting them here, beginning in August 2009. ~ Nov. 13, 2011, Henry completed his 7th year -- 2,556 mandala paintings -- thus completing a circle. A new one begins. Hope you'll tune in to watch what develops in this blog space of Henry Reed, SusanGail and ATB ~ It's a journey of intuitive heart.

MANDALA ART BY HENRY REED FROM ARCHIVES OF THE DAILY MANDALA

Note to visitors of All Things Beautiful...

Below you will see my reflections on The Daily Mandala from the archives, beginning with Nov. 13, 2004...progressing gradually onward to Nov. 13, 2007, when Henry concluded his seven-year series. To see the newest mandalas, scroll down the archives...to where I first began the reflections in 2009. So, I've a long way to go before I sleep, in these mandala woods, so lovely, dark and deep!

The Daily Mandala: June 22, 2005



 From an aerial view, my little patch of earth reveals a central focus, a sunny garden that grows all good things. From an eagle perspective, all is well and beautiful. The nest is vibrant, alive, emanating the colors of joy in all directions... relaying a flower powerful message of welcome and home. ~ ATB

 A fresh new start begins each day with my heart. It's a blue-ribbon day, always, when I take time to tune in, to listen, to hear... to feel the wisdom coming from within. My heart knows the answers. Will I follow? ~ ATB

The Daily Mandala: June 20, 2005



The hospitality of healing hearts around me, bubbles and bursts within me, creating joy in the heart of my being. Swirling together, yet separate... at one, yet one with all... the dynamic of creative spirits expressing uniqueness, paints a beautiful dance of unity, a sacred work of artistry... making a difference, uplifting us all. ~ ATB

The Daily Mandala: June 18, 2005



 It's amazing how you can interpret color depending on the state of your heart. I see red. Could be I'm feeling angry or hurt about someone's indifference. I could see red as flowing power through my heart. Bringing me the power of joy. I see red on this backdrop of purple. Which red is me today? If I use the energy of the red in a healthful way, then I must see it as the color of power and joy, infused by this energizing purple of passion. I choose joy. ~ ATB

The Daily Mandala: June 16, 2005



  Reach out wandering spirit, to the corners of the world. Sing in gratitude, for the magnificence of your being, and for your lifetime of opportunity, to venture into the center of your divine nature. Be inspired, there. Catch a vision, there. Bring the wellspring of infinite possibilities from there... to be a compassionate influence to others on the journey. ~ ATB

 Here I am. Seeking, finding, exploring, searching... pulling in myriad data, tuning in. It is I, here, now... listening, seeing, hearing, envisioning. Boldly, I go forward... on my journey, toward the people in my heart. ~ ATB

The POWER of heART motivates me to get up and get moving. I'm compelled to shout out to the universe, my extraordinary intentions. I SEE the CROSS at the center, that binds my life story together. I'm grounded in my BEING when I'm true to my goals and my dreams. ~ ATB

Dancing waters, rivers of rainbow dreams, catch me within your net of radiant beams...cascading above me, beneath me, all around me. My heart floats within this light sea of gratitude, the healing waters moving me toward wholeness, expanding my circle of memories, gathering all things beautiful within. ~ ATB
