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 14, 2005


 Searching for the blue zone, I see it's surrounded by myriad points of light... wandering stars flickering over crops circles at  night. My mind and heart hover together as I witness the sight, of a pattern coming together. I am the blue zone; within it, all's well and alright. ~  ATB

The Daily Mandala: July 13, 2005



 I like the directions I see, where this circle of life is taking me. Vibrant, alive with joyful energy, these beautiful places of spirit daily renew me. I love this skywheel I can hang onto, lovingly steering where destiny leads me, with an eye on the center, constantly guiding me. ~ ATB

The Daily Mandala



Anonymous says, 'as above, so below'... and I say, yes, but more than that... a divine pattern radiates from the center of my being. What will I do with this energy? Where will I focus its power and light? When will the disparate parts come together? Am I ready to sit back and enjoy the show? ~ ATB

Blue butterfly visions astound...
 flying my magic carpet around the brilliantly beautiful universe of dreams within me. ~ ATB

The Daily Mandala: July 10, 2005



    Truly, my heart squares the circle. Receptive, reflective, releasing, I drift where the tide takes me...to safe harbor, yet to an unbounded shore, where a beautiful ship awaits. Boarding, embarking, sailing...off to explore... new journeys, new lands, new dreams. ~ ATB

The Daily Mandala: July 9, 2005



 Dancing suns, streaming beaming rays upon me, conjure up amazing serendipities within me. I wave my arms, laughing at the insights given me. I dance in circles; and yet I am the circle. A circle bound, but moving always round. What fun it is to BE me. ~ ATB
