Gratitude unlocks the fullness of Life.....



"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life.
It turns what we have into enough and more.
It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to
order, confusion to clarity.
It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend." Melody Beattie

Progression of a Mandala






Patricia and I are getting ready to do another Mandala Workshop, this one will be at the Center For Spiritual Living in Santa Rosa. We have each been sitting at the Church center for the past month on Sundays, talking about the Mandala Process. It has excited me about the mandala process, and made me look forward to beginging another one as well as witnessing others in the process. I love to see the images that emerge out of the darkness of the black paper, for everyone.

So I am posting several progressions of my mandalas to share how they evolve.
