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: May 27, 2005


 Ready to spin, I pinwheel out to the farthest reaches of my mind, to a brilliant blend of focused whimsy and playful concentration. I discover I can create a magical blend that empowers me to accomplish all that I desire. ~ ATB

The Daily Mandala: May 26, 2005

 Doodling round the merry-go-round of light and bright circles and shapes and lines and squares of happy-go-lucky faces...laughing, I go dancing, skipping, hop-scotching...loving this labyrinth of mine. ~ATB

Garden Party: 
A growth spurt happens when I least expect it. I love it when I come under the influence of a burst of creativity, when all things seem possible. Then, I can see the garden... envisioning the plantings, the growing, and the beautiful design. ~ ATB

The Daily Mandala: May 24, 2005


 Echoes of  heavenly blessings:
Colors of sound and light sing hymns of power and beauty. In awe, I listen... I look... I wonder. I move to the tune, pulled in to the joy of my being. From there, I soar into flight. ~ ATB

The Daily Mandala: May 23, 2005


 Healing ripples echo from the passionate, creative source within. Hearing the colors, seeing the sound...the music swirls around me. Like a spinning top, life whirls, yet moves along the steady ground beneath me. I return often to that expressive heart that dances beauty 'round eternity. ~ ATB

The Daily Mandala: May 22, 2005


 Traveling the crooked road, wearing a crooked smile, looping 'round the bend, I keep on mile after mile. Always, the cross is in the center. I know I'm never alone. I might be pushed and prodded - by life, by folks at work or home. But, my heart is forever grateful...rejoicing and singing praises for the beautiful souls I've known. ~ ATB

The Daily Mandala: May 21, 2005


 Peacefully free to be me, I draw the light pattern upon the pathways of my heart, following that light, tracing the journey that is uniquely me. ~ ATB

The Daily Mandala: May 20, 2005

Life is beautiful. Boldly creating, splashing the canvas, paint dripping, colors running...my picture seemingly chaotic, glows with its central theme of radiance...capturing the light of joy, the art of serendipity. ~ ATB

 All roads lead home, especially when they crisscross and gather in your heart. ~ ATB

The Daily Mandala: May 18, 2005





 My world sometimes, though smiling brightly in the background, appears to be askew when I view it in the mirror. Do others see this quirky side of me? Oh, well. I realize life's not perfect; and I laugh at the image...all the while trusting in the fun, the adventure that is sure to follow. ~ ATB
