Laniesse of Corvallis recently posted on the Corvallis Garden Share facebook page this amazing up-close-and-personal photo of a bee doing its thing on this beautiful sunflower. While the whole flower (petals and all) certainly qualifies as a mandala, the round center of the flower absolutely does.
If you look closely at the “stems” in the very center you’ll notice that they go around in a tight spiral. This spiral continues outward into multiple spirals, which is easier to spot in the lower right corner of the flower center.
Along with stopping to smell the “roses”, today’s mandala reminds us to take the time to also notice the amazing beauty that can be found when we look up-close-and-personal…this goes for people as well.
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?
