This fascinating moon, Mimas, orbits around Saturn. It’s also known as the “Death Star” moon to those who are aficionados of the “Star Wars” movies.
Herschel Crater is 80 miles, wide and covers most of the right of this image and gives us an idea of just how large (or rather how small) this moon is. The following image, from the October 2014 Smithsonian Magazine article, gives you some perspective of its size in relation to Saturn…
Saturn and Mimas
In looking at all the craters (mandalas) on Mimas, it makes you wonder how it managed to survive after taking such a beating. Reminds me of Elaine Stritch’s rendition of Sondheim’s “I’m still here!”
I’d like to think that Mimas reminds us to stick around regardless of what life throws at us…for that which doesn’t kill us makes us stronger…and we have the scars to prove it.
Happy Coloring!

My Mission: awakening our Creative Spirit 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?
