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!

Exquisite dreams of yesterday
blossom and grow
like a well-watered garden,
when I embrace the beauty
and imagine the possibilities. - ATB

High-noon bursts of galactic creativity explode joyfully like sizzling citrus sunspots on a cicada-singing summer day -- when I'm tuned in to my life purpose -- and I GO for it! - ATB

POWER SURGE:
The power to be myself is in me
when I need to be me.
Deadlines may be looming,
tasks before me may seem daunting.
Yet when I dance to my own tune,
all things are beautiful. - ATB

Close Encounters of the Electric Kind:
Often my days will mimic the weather,
with pending storms leaving me
uneasy and prickly,
as if lightning might strike
at any moment.
I love the thrill of the voltage
whirling its powerful potential.
Yet, I wait for the calmness
beneath the bolts of insight,
the healing green spaces washed clean.
Then, I can think once again,
and the passionate thunder
transforms into words of grace.- ATB

When I seek the wisdom
in my dreams,
my dreams seek me. - ATB

I'm in the vortex of healing energies, while life changes swirl around me. Grounding myself in the light of my core values provides the ballast to keep me upright and afloat, patiently navigating this transformational time. - ATB
