All Things Beautiful

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.

The Daily Mandala: January 12, 2006

A voluminous mind, a joyful heart,

skims the waves of ocean dreams.

Relaxing into the journey,

breathing a life story, I'm

daily trusting, smiling,

knowing. ~ ATB ~

The Daily Mandala: December 31, 2005

Merry, merry memories
meander through the archives
of my mind and heart.
Circling through calendar days,
I think of years far away,
yet near. A labyrinth of passages,
with favorite scenes, forgotten,
now coming clear. I mark them to
remember, and walk back
around again, in and out again,
smiling to encounter them once more.
~ ATB ~
