In connecting with this stone I saw a little girl hiding under a large overturned picnic basket. The little girl timidly starts to lift up the basket as if to see if it’s safe to come out from underneath. By being in the basket she thinks she’s safe and yet by hiding she fails to see all the beauty and joy that surrounds and supports her.
Off to the left I see Glinda the Good Witch from the Wizard of Oz coming towards the basket to let the girl know that it’s safe to come out. She says “We’ve all been waiting for you” and touches the basket with her wand.
With that the little girl jumps up, throwing the basket off her back and goes into a “standing tall, arms up in the air” cheerleading pose to which everyone around her applauds.
The key to this story is that people are waiting for what we have to offer. It’s time to let our Light shine. (The whole time writing this, I kept hearing Odetta’s most awesome and inspiring version of “This Little Light of Mine” – go have a listen. )
My Mission: connecting with our Inner Light in delightful, inspiring ways
For me, creating mandalas is more than just coloring pretty patterns in a circle. I do it because my spiritual evolution and creativity require it of me. My mandala designs come about within an active meditative state, connected with my higher self, my spiritual guides and nature spirits.
Together, we bring into form, mandala art the allows me to re-connect with my own inner peace and joy, letting me explore and expand my own creative spirit to however far and in whatever direction I want to take it.
As part of my own spiritual journey, I encourage, and hopefully inspire, others to explore their own creativity, to help them re-connect with their own inner peace and joy. As a means to that end, I make all of my mandalas available for people to color. Why should I have all the fun?
