MONDAY MANDALA INFORMATION, INSPIRATIONS & MEDITATION
MANDALA PROMPT – THE CALL TO CREATIVITY
We are all called to be givers of our own unique gifts to the world. Sometimes we don’t recognize we are co-creators of this world and this world calls to us to share our gifts. We are all artists of our unique talents. In creating mandalas we become more in touch with our creativity that expresses itself not only in mandala making but also other areas of our life. This week listen for the call of creativity that comes from deep within. Express that magic in making mandalas and through your other gifts.
This poem has been taped to my kitchen wall for years. Read it and recognize your creative magic.
MANDALA MEDITATION – THE CALL OF CREATIVITY
MANDALA INSPIRATIONS & SHARING
These mandalas were created by Kelly Larson during our retreat at Christ of the Desert in Abiquiu, New Mexico. The call of creativity was strong.
One day at dusk Kelly walked to the river. A white coyote came near her, looked her straight in the eyes and called to her with deep cries. Other coyotes joined in, their voices echoing up and down the canyon. The words of coyote medicine are written in this art journaling mandala.
The red rocks, amazing sky and silence inspired creative spirit.
A nest of straw found on the trail to the river is now home to bird and egg. The deep dark sky, a heart and angel wings protect.
This painting is called Coyote Woman Dreaming. I shared it with Kelly who still feels the coyote’s call.
Listen to the call of your creativity and let it be expressed in your unique ways.
