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 16, 2005




 Destiny reverberates within me as I tune in to the possibilities around me. I feel the power of my words swirling from distant memories. The future flows in bright prosperity before me, and I follow it joyfully. ~ ATB ~

The Daily Mandala: October 15, 2005


 Blue brilliance confounds me where sky, sun, fields and waters meet. Sometimes the brilliance overtakes my senses, so that I gaze around me astounded. It's all I can do to wander my sun-drenched path. I may find myself staggering, walking on dizzily drunken in solitary 'solarity'. ~ ATB ~

The Daily Mandala: October 14, 2005

Kaleidoscope doodles wash over me, pencil coloring gently my blues, drafting possibility, creating a framework of hope and dreamily energizing me.

The Daily Mandala: October 13, 2005


Care of the soul requires a daily pattern of nurturing: feeding the spirit with abundant nutrients of love, joy, peace...flowing pools of grace as fountains splashing over a sun-washed heart...greening the pathways that take you beyond the ordinary to become extraordinary in the world. ~ ATB ~

The Daily Mandala: October 12, 2005



 Basic steps will lead me up and around the stairways and pathways that form the matrix of my life. Sometimes it's good to focus, purely on the basics of centering. From that light, the steps shine brightly before me. I can see clearly where I need to go and what I need to do. ~ ATB ~

The Daily Mandala: October 11, 2005



Technicolor memories float
on velvet black dreams. 
I see the universal themes 
unfolding on this backdrop, 
the magical canvas that
paints for me
prolific possibilities.
