What Are We Not Seeing ?
Our focus this week — Aug 6-12: “Wait and See”
Today’s MotD: What Are We Not Seeing ? Today we’re encouraged to slow down, stop, be patient especially when we’re feeling rushed into something where we may not be totally clear on what’s going to happen or how something will turn out.
By taking a ‘wait and see’ mindset, it allows us the time to see the situation from different perspectives, to ask questions that didn’t occur to us when we were in a state of going in circles or feeling like we needed to hurry.
I know for me, any time I rush myself, or put myself in a situation where I have to hurry, invariably I forget something, drop/break something, make a mistake, misplace something important, and so on—all of which creates more work, more hassle, and more unnecessary delays…thus more anxiety.
When we catch ourselves in this state of uncertainty or confusion, it behooves us to stop and ask ourselves “what am I not seeing ?” or “what am I forgetting ?” or “what piece of the “puzzle” is missing here ?” and then allow ourselves the time to wait and see for the answer(s) to make themselves known to us.
How about you ? Do you find yourself in situations where you tend to jump to conclusions without all the information ? Do you have the patience to “wait and see” how things play out ? Or at least “wait and see” if more information becomes available before making your next move ?
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.
