Today’s Mandala
Solace

“Comfort comes from knowing
that people have made the same journey.
And solace comes from understanding
how others have learned to sing again.”

— Helen Steiner Rice

“To look for solace
is to learn to ask fiercer and
more exquisitely pointed questions,
questions that reshape our identities
and our bodies and
our relation to others.”

— David Whyte

“It’s incredibly restorative.
A lot of people
find great solace in gardening.
It teaches self-worth, patience,
reliance, persistence.
It teaches us the circle of life.
It teaches us that things die,
and from that new things come.”

— Nancy Kuhajda

Today’s MotD reminds us to go easy on ourselves by seeking comfort in whatever form soothes our soul especially when the world around us (individually and globally) seems to be in upheaval.

Some ideas:

  • being with dear friends
  • walking (being) in nature
  • a warm comforting bath or shower
  • doing something creative
  • hugging a pet
  • holding a baby
  • listening to a baby laugh
  • watching a sunrise or sunset
  • being in or near a body of water (pond, lake, ocean, etc)
  • watching a favorite movie
  • making/eating a favorite meal
  • hugging a loved one

Blessings,

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?
