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!

Life blossoms like an exquisite flower, when I let go and allow its beauty to flow toward me.

Dream Catcher
Quietly contemplating the ephemeral window of my dreams, 
I catch a glimpse of my purpose and steps to take me there.

"Vortex" ... Today's mandala expresses my today, as I find myself in the vortex of two beautiful opportunities. If I believe in being myself, and trusting in the synchronicity of divine timing, the energy will flow... The Daily Mandala: August 27, 2009

"Magnetic" - I'm reminded right away of a very cool floor at a spa I visited this summer...you walk on the floor with gazillion little round magnets...magnet therapy....I'm visualizing them now in these brilliant colors.
