MotD 24-351 Awe — after. textured abstract background with bold colors of red, some pink, some white, a bit of light green, and grey. on top in black ink is an outline of a 6 petal flower in the center (sort of). around it are three rows of three different shapes…none of them touching: tear drop, ovoid, and circles. white dots go in between these rows outward. all the shapes are shaded and highlighted to give them dimension

Awe

“a feeling of reverential respect”

In between creating today’s MotD and writing this post, I went for a walk in our neighborhood. Even though it’s cold, damp, drizzly, and grey out, I found myself being in awe of the magnificent trees in our area (PNW).

And seeing how today’s word is “awe” I pondered what else gives me awe. At first, I came up with mostly nature-related things…mountains, oceans, grand vistas, and so on. Then I segued into people…pondering who of this world (living and non-living) give me cause for awe. It ran the whole gamut of awesomeness from the smallest of do-gooders to the well-known doers, achievers, and talents extraordinaire.

Then it got me to wondering if there is or was anything I do/did that put me in a state of awe. And I realized that yes…yes, I have done and achieved some awesome stuff…not everyone would have the same reaction, but these achievements were awesome to and for me.

Today’s MotD encourages us to take moments out of our days to ponder that which gives us awe…from nature, from other people, and most especially from ourselves. We’re being reminded that, at least on an energetic level, we are all awesome!

How about you? Is being in awe a core value for you?

BTW…here’s what it looked like to begin with …

🏵️ creating mandalas — awakening creativity

About the 2024 Mandalas of the Day

Each day I will create and post a mandala inspired by one of 366 “value” words chosen randomly. The objective being to discover for myself which ones would best represent my core values…and by doing so, I hope it inspires you to determine your own.

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?
