The Daily Mandala: June 30, 2011

 The powerful symmetry of my heart vision 

turns forest ferns fucshia, purple and pink.

It colors my outlook to become 

the creative, cock-eyed optimist 

I've always been, 

but was too shy to bring forth.

At last the lines become visible.

The heart strings 

-- like angels in the wind -- 

flutter and spin and sing.

Now all may hear my tune. ~ ATB

The Daily Mandala: June 28, 2011

Simply at a loss for words,  I piece things together as best I can. I try to make sense of what's happening...of the cracks in the facade of my being...of the light that is aching to break through...of the power I  know I have, if I will but trust it and go with the flow. Perhaps the fissures are there to allow the light to come in. If I open myself to let in the points of light, then love can can be received, connecting them in this space to complete the circle. ~ ATB

  Color me silly, tickled pink, a laughing heart...always amazed at the beauty of this planet and the creative power of its people. I sing with joy at the image of a healing-green labyrinthine sun, whose emerald rays dive deep into the corners of hearts everywhere. With purpose and intention these hearts may join in harmony, making a difference; and our heart song plays out its beautiful tune. ~ ATB

 Squashed by the pressures of life, the peculiarities of relationships, the misunderstandings, the disconnects...my spirit struggles at times to sustain its resilience. When I go within, I rest in the promise of harmony and peace in the core of my soul. A glimmer of hope lights the candle, rekindling the warmth and patiently healing my intuitive heart. ~ ATB

 Summer Solstice: 
Eye Popping Energy
sends creative spirits soaring
with the colors of new dimensions 
and powerful relationships. 
Connecting potentials reveals 
intentional heart waves, 
electrifying our dreams and visions.
Together we can see 
infinite possibilities,
as we embrace the beauty 
of those we encounter
on our journey.
Together we can venture 
into the unknown 
and find safe haven for all.

 Summer days can leave me dazed, colorfully confused in a gentle sort of way. A little hammock time to reflect and sort things out, as if sifting through the tree leaves, might be the elixir for the moment. ~ ATB

 Many voices speak to me from many places. I listen and receive their input, their insight. In the end, however, I am me. I can integrate the voices, but I can only be me...steadfast, confident, and free. ~ ATB

 Coming down from the mountain, readjusting to a familiar routine that somehow feels different...energized...fitting myself back into the local landscape with that energy of spirit...I realize I'm a thousand watts brighter. What will I do with it, this creative spark of light? ~ ATB

 Squaring the circle, walking the labyrinth, coming home. It's been a journey of wonder, amazement, delight. As time goes by, down a river of dreams, between the mountains and sky I fly. Like an eagle, I SEE...YOU...ME...WE. ~ ATB

 Getting the design right...that's what matters. It may take some calculating, some measuring, some shape-shifting. But, when the pattern is set, then I can roll...moving along on the trail, which I deem a happy one! ~ ATB

The Daily Mandala: June 14, 2011

 Overwhelm. 
Sometimes when I enter a new space, out of my comfort zone,
I reside momentarily in the land of overwhelm.
It's not intentional; I may not wish to be in that emotional state. 
Yet, I know that wisdom awaits in this new land. 
There are treasures and counsel for me to unearth...
to witness...to perceive. I know that it's time to absorb new things
. Changes are occurring around me, through me;
I'm changing;
and the changes bring ultimate joy to my soul. ~ ATB

 Magically, with the heart being the seat of the soul, I discover I can begin to live my passion, my happiness. It begins by being myself, with all the quirkiness, with all the color I can muster to energize and harmonize the rainbow light in my life. I hear the direction of the sounds of music coming into my awareness. I listen more intently. I compose my heart song; and I embrace the tune. ~ ATB

Calming down on this journey, settling into the flow of life, I surrender the outcome to a higher power. Trusting the wisdom within, I relax my walking pace on this yellow brick road. It's gently rolling terrain now. A golden butterfly follows the twists and turns before me. I see welcome groves of lakes and trees along the byway. I swing my arms, and smile my way to the healing heart of me. ~ ATB

 Contents under pressure: Deadlines may loom, zinging around me like bottle rockets ready to fire at any moment. I encircle my heart with a pressure shield, seeking to quiet down before the fuse blows, skyrocketing me where I do not wish to go. Rather, I use this energy surrounding me to move confidently forward in the direction I need to go. All is calm; all is well, and in divine order. ~ ATB
