Close Encounters of the Electric Kind:
Often my days will mimic the weather,
with pending storms leaving me
uneasy and prickly,
as if lightning might strike
at any moment.
I love the thrill of the voltage
whirling its powerful potential.
Yet, I wait for the calmness
beneath the bolts of insight,
the healing green spaces washed clean.
Then, I can think once again,
and the passionate thunder
transforms into words of grace.- ATB

Knowledge is power:
I learn what I need to know...
whether from halls of ivy,
cerebral forays into pages of books,
thoughts from favorite teachers and gurus,
or divine inspiration
from the awareness of my heart.
For it is there,
that it crystallizes and transforms me.
Always becoming more of who I am. - ATB

Lightening and brightening my energy grid,
I become a powerhouse of creative influence
in the realm of all things beautiful,
possible, dreamable:
I SEE you in all the colors of the rainbow.
In the wings of the butterfly.
In the darting whirling-dervish dragonfly.
I SEE you healthy and strong.
Planting fields of blooms in your own backyard.
Finding your voice in the music of the birds,
the brook, the bees...
the wind, the trees.
I SEE you finding JOY. - ATB

In this high tech Google world,
I can network
until I'm blue-in-the-face book,
or taxed with the twitter of tweeting.
I love my birds-of-a-feather friends,
as I discover the many kindred spirits
traveling the same Internet highway.
But cycling through the seasons,
I notice when my mind is on overload.
A bit of downtime for decompression
delights my soul and
deepens my relationship with myself...
enhancing compassionate fellowship,
bringing into balance
my outreach to community,
harmonizing my soul song. -ATB

The Daily Mandala: July 18, 2010

I'm revived in body, mind, and spirit when I care enough to creatively nurture those aspects of me. Gifting myself time to retreat for an hour, a day, a week...whatever space I can find...becomes more and more a priority, as I realize the power of life lived within the framework of light, love, joy and peace. Like learning a new language, immersion in the healing arts allows my heart to express itself in greater depth and with greater meaning. Each pebble I toss from shore, then scatters a wave ...radiating the inspiration of my experience in ever-expanding circles. Reviving me helps revive my world. And that is a beautiful thing. - ATB

Up in the air, in my beautiful balloon: It's how I feel when I operate from my heart. Life seems lighter. I can breathe the colors of my life into all that I do. I take on my projects like a whirling circus carousel at a summertime fair. I know that all will move along beautifully, and I sing to the music. - ATB

Summer's sizzling
and I'm feeling perplexed
by the complexity of life events.
For, it seems as soon as I think I've got a handle on it,
another little obstacle arrives in my path.
Of course, I discover that patience is the answer
in the grand scheme of things.
Inch by inch,
stone by stone,
heart by heart.
While mustering the persistence may challenge
my creativity, I see that the design will complete,
despite a few jangled, rough-and-tumble
edges along the way. - ATB

The Daily Mandala: July 15, 2010

Each day I may find a healing retreat
within my own landscape,
my own lifework,
when I choose to re-inspire ME.
I look for ways to creatively fashion
a sanctuary of spirit
in my own space,
between the space
of my interactions with the world.
Creating these sacred places
nurtures my soul.
Re-energized, re-ignited with
the joy of my heart,
its expression flows beautifully outward
as a wave of inspiration
to those I meet on my journey. - ATB

WELCOME TO THE GARDEN:
The pathways are for your enJOYment, your opportunity for connection to the natural harmony of nature. Its beauty unwraps your soul and opens your heart... to the whirring wings of the hummingbird, the fusion of fuchsia blooms to which it flies. The nectar you seek is sweet.
You are not alone.
Healing begins within; you need only ask. -- ATB

Sometimes I get so enthused about a belief, an idea or a project
that I feel almost wired with rainbow energy.
The intricacies and complexities of my projects shout with potential.
Yet, often my enthusiasm tends to head for overwhelm.. .
not only for me, but for those with whom I'm sharing that enthusiasm.
It is then that I patiently take a step back
to SEE the whole picture, realizing that each piece is required
to fill in the beautiful pattern I desire. - ATB

at each new bend in the road,
each new mountain view.
I ride, and I climb.
At mountaintop,
All things are beautiful - ATB.

Ever moving, ever climbing the
circular stairway to my dreams,
my life evolves, revolves,
creative-problem-solves.

Each day is a new opportunity

the steps and stepping stones,
to reach the field... and there I'll meet you. -ATB

Fields of gold, fields of lavender,

of a beautiful, blazing sun. - ATB

The heat index may rise,
and circumstances may seemingly thwart
my plans for a mid-summer day,

of the oh-so-cool heart center.
At any time, inspiring waves breathe me
softly into its depths of aquamarine.
I appreciate this gift, nudging me
to embrace the beauty within. -ATB

Star-spangled Dreams:
Liberty, equality, fraternity.
The heroes of Independence Day and Bastille Day

and that we are blessed to pass along.
Heroes arise in many circumstances.
Each story lights the way

Art in the Park:
The capriciousness of creativity
often finds me musing and meandering,
as if on a whimsical stroll among magical paintings,

all-encompassing gaze of summer sun.
Which aspect will I choose?
Or which will choose me?
I take a painting down.
Yes, that fits.
