Do Nothing
This week we focus on “Sweet Surrender”. Today’s MotD encourages to do nothing when it comes to trying to do something that we can’t do anything about. For instance, trying to make other people change or do something against their will. Better still would be to do something different, something we actually CAN do.
I’m reminded of my neighbors across the street, whom I’ve talked about in an earlier post. I keep hoping they’ll change. I keep hoping they’ll become more considerate neighbors. With today’s MotD I can see where it’s futile for me to keep hoping and wishing. I need to surrender that idea. Instead I could do something different: I could ask for guidance about how to see them differently or learn to ignore them or I could try to be a good neighbor to them in some way. Waving to them and/or saying hello (acknowledging them) when I see them could be a good start.
How about you ? What’s something in your life that you could surrender to (let go of) and do nothing instead ? Or the other option: how about doing something different ? What could you do differently ?
BTW…Here’s the before…the front and back view of today’s puzzle piece and the pretty ceramic box that holds all my numbers from which I randomly choose each day’s puzzle piece number:

ABOUT THE 2025 Mandalas of the Day
Throughout the year, I’ll be building one large (48”x48”) Tibetan-styled Mandala one piece at a time…one puzzle piece at a time, that is. The mandala design and the reversed puzzle side were printed on artist-quality watercolor paper. The forward facing puzzle side was printed on a 48”x48” wood panel.
Each day, at random, I’ll be painting in watercolors one of the 365 watercolor puzzle pieces, that by the end of the year will become Archangel Mandala #4. Read more about the Archangel Series. The word/message for each piece will be inspired by Melody Beattie’s book “52 Weeks of Conscious Contact”.
Ultimately, the message of this mandala is about how we are all uniquely part of the one.
