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 3, 2005





Magical ribbons swirl, twirl and tie up a wondrous gift to me... of life abundant, energized, confident, free. This gift I untie, unwrap and share with others my amazing discovery...the heart of beauty.

The Daily Mandala: October 2, 2005



 A beacon appears to guide me 
through the darkness, 
beaming rainbows 
and comforting thoughts 
of hope, love, joy, peace. ~ ATB

The Daily Mandala: October 1, 2005





Kaleidoscopic colors
 flicker points of light,
creating possibilities appearing
 in my dreams each night.

The Daily Mandala: September 30, 2005





Fire circle...
come sit with me around it.
 Come walk with me to it and from it. 
Leave from it with me, singing...
 taking our collective dreams home
 to spread the fire of light
 and love around us.

The Daily Mandala: September 29, 2005





 A lovely cross beckons 
in its simplicity,
 challenging me to follow
 my own authenticity.

The Daily Mandala: September 28, 2005





My life sometimes feels like a gentle riot of color, in layers tentatively clipped together, waiting for me to arrange into a fascinating puzzle...to pull together all the facets and pathways, bring the edges to center, all intact and flowing outward from the power within. ~ ATB ~
