Ahh...gazing upon this mandala sets my heart aflutter. I realize that this is what my gratitude for joy feels like...and looks like. Thank you Gratitude-joy for showing your face to me...for coursing through my being. -- Some heart-thoughts in honor of our kinship:
I am Gratitude-joy!
I dance in your heart
and set your soul a-purring...
...and
making your heart...content.
~ ~ ~ ~
I am thankful
that Gratitude-joy...
lives in me...
moves through me...
as
love...
peace...
beauty...
love...

gratitude...
and joy
All is well...

The Splendor of Cheryl's Mandala Oasis...If a single symbol can embody the resonant vibration of the soul, it is surely the mandala. Miracles within circles. Unlimited imagination. Creative innovation. Spiritual expressions in form and colour. The Mandala's timeless power is matched only by the splendor of the artist who drew it. As deeply moving and glorious as mandalas may be, I must remind myself that their beauty and message is much more than lines on a page to be enjoyed - even the simplest types make for spiritual nourishment, sustenance and awakening. Thanks to Cheryl's wonderful work, inspirational talent and open heart, we can partake of these exquisite mandala recipes with one click on a mouse - so I stand, during this Season of Gratitude, in a long and boisterous 'cyber' ovation to Cheryl's magnificence.

I love your idea of putting form to what different energies look like. Its a new idea for me, to look into my heart and ask what do gratitude, joy, hope look like.
ReplyDeleteYour colors and manifestations of different emotions are beautiful. I sometimes wonder how it is I am attracted to rust! And yet, we all are seeking our essence thru what we "find" and to accept that is probably another answer to gratitude. To be grateful for who we are and honor our own and each others uniqueness.
To your beautiful spirit, Happy Thanksgiving!
(and thanks for your 'giving')
