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: July 27, 2005



The coldness of a winter night filters through my frosty lashes. I see dimly beyond the self-imposed fence that twines around my heart sometimes. I pull the scarf tighter, warmer. Still, I welcome the faded dusk at twilight. I don't have to see brightly; I can sense the field before me, as I weave among the trees. I've been here  before.The snowy landscape offers a new dream to uncover in the spring. ~ ATB

The Daily Mandala: July 26, 2005



Light rings bring dreams to the surface, as I perceive them gracefully encircling beneath the hard wires of my life. In the background, they're there, comfortingly squaring the circle, shimmering into the darkest corners. ~ ATB

The Daily Mandala: July 25, 2005




  Zany days bring a dizzying array of possibilities to view through myriad windows...portals to new dimensions. Pick, choose... open, close... find the one that suits your heart.  Quirky moments mellow into quiet realms. There is an answer to the question. Have fun finding stepping stones. Then, follow.  ~ ATB

The Daily Mandala: July 24, 2005

  Polar Vortex:
Winter weather phenomenon echoes an icy heart. Warmth of sun rays ripples currents of light energy cascading in circles of healing love...melting the icy moments, breathing truth, beauty into center. ~ATB
