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: March 11, 2006


Bold beautiful...
I've laid out the pathway,
I've charted my course.
I'm setting out now
to follow my heart.
Just need to begin...
just need a fresh start.

Boldly walk through life,
send your light afar...
Receive the blessings given,
reach for that beautiful star.

The Daily Mandala: March 9, 2006

 

Oh to be me... 

creative spirit, free, 

playfully scrambling high

up in the branches,

like a curious squirrel 

exploring happily

 in my home tree.

 Lucky me! 
An amazing discovery...
becoming me is certainly
a magical blend...
and definitely, 
my cup of tea.

The Daily Mandala: March 7, 2006

 

 

 

Golden dreams crossing garden pathways, 
in my mind sunlit beams on roses, 
drawing me inward to ponder shimmering
reflections, mystic impressions.

Caribbean blue skies mirror 
waters of ancient blue,
true to my life,
deep stories told 
beneath the waves,
follow me there,
ripples everywhere.

The Daily Mandala: March 5, 2006

 

 Imagine...
 beautiful rainbow ribbons, 
intertwining pathways 
coloring my sphere.
Intentions from all directions,
streaming outward from the 
center... my intuitive heart.

 Healing whirls within me ... as I discover the answers are within my sphere. Like many ribbons,  creating a pattern of harmony. love, peace, and joy. ~ ATB ~

The Daily Mandala: March 2006

 

Pink is floating from my heart,

softly descending wisps, 

warm fuzzy spheres,

seed thoughts ready to 

settle gently, bursting open

with gratitude.

The Daily Mandala: February 26, 2006

 

 

I'm looking at the big picture, 

but focusing on the target.

In each area of my life,

there are plans and dreams. 

Finding the will to focus,

I aim toward the highest outcome.
