Notre Dame Rose Window Mandala – photo by Painton Cowen [select image for larger view]Some of the grandest mandalas can be found in the stained glass rose windows of churches and cathedrals. The one I chose for today’s MotD is especially spectacular: the south window at Paris’s Notre Dame Cathedral.
One of the many things I appreciate about the internet is the generosity of people who share their vast knowledge of a particular topic with the world. One such site is this site which is totally dedicated to all things Rose Windows and where I found the image for today’s MotD.

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?
