words of resonance, reminded me:
The areas of life that are most crucial for you to deal with can't be fully understood using the concepts your rational mind favors. Then this morning I read these words at
Sacred Graffiti: "Do your work then step back." -- Tao Te Ching (more ringing resonance.)
Yesterday, I attended an invigorating class on Yoga and Art Therapy
. Throughout the day, I found myself fluidly participating in training exercises with little desire or need to left-brain examine anything. My heart rate slowed down. The tightness in my upper back decreased and I could feel the blood flowing from the top of my head to the tip of my toes.

When debriefing this simplistic mandala no words flowed... Until early this morning
(like 3:00 a.m. early) when the following surfaced and I groggily recorded them before gratefully going back to sleep.
Encased by golden light.
My broken legs stand firmly planted in fertile soil.
Questions float in the clear blue sky, drifting on
the wind and saying, Blessed be.
The spiral is my crown - time without end.
My floating soul lives lightly tethered
between heaven and earth.
Blessed be.
"I will say to the darkness, be my light." --Psalm 139:11
P.S. For those who are familiar with the energy centers of the body, commonly known as chakras, you won't be surprised to know this mandala resulted following a meditation on the Solar Plexus Chakra.
