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: October 5, 2005





My mandala moments reflect happenings in my heart and mind on the occasion that they show up. When I see this one, on the 13th day of November, 2015, I see my Parisian influence showing up as well. This happy picture to me marries the colorful provincial creativity that I love, along with the safety and comfort of formal city gardens. I'm looking at this art of Henry as a symbol of hope, peace and love... a prayer of blessings to the country I love next to my own. May we all BE hope, peace and love to our friends and loved ones who are touched by today's tragedy in the coming weeks and months. May we BE... as said Mohandas Gandhi... the change we wish to see in the world. ~ATB ~
