The Guest House - Rumi


Buying my lottery ticket.

To be able to look beyond my comforts and needs even to merely execute a chore for Papa, to be able to work through discomfort, to think beyond myself requires great strength. In the presence of the Will to do so, the Way there wasn't clear and when I could see the way, the strength was wavering. Often I have failed my aim. Thank you for a glimpse into the way to this possibility.
As they say, to win the lottery one has to at least buy the ticket. Infinite Gratitude.

Kala Mandala 4,6 and 9


Riots of colour that began as playful peices to hang up in front of the bed. Something I like to see first up in the morning. Many petalled unfolding brightness containing one and all and many. An ongoing experiment. These are 4,6 and 9.
 Last year I made versions with people's names in the centre, people I missed and whose words I kept as reminders to keep working on myself, like a personal direct line to them. The one I made with Yusuf written in the centre is on the left side bar of this blog.
kala mandala : 
kala is time.
kalla is art.
mandala is that which surrounds the centre, a space, a way to organise.
