This is a mandala, a symbol for movement from suffering into peace and health, for all of my Moab friends and their families as we head into a belated tourist season with a hitchhiker tourist whose unseen presence threatens us all. Stay safe and stay well.
In my pursuit of Mindfulness I make a lot of use of making and using Mandalas. I will be sharing these on here. I start with a drawing of Black and White and then use colouring them in combinations of colours that aid calm.
I am happy to supply people with a desire to colour the monochrome Mandalas for you to colour in a range of colour combinations.To request any Monochrome Mandalas to work with just contact me on my Portfolio Website Contact Page :-

Another 'Mandala' composition - this time it from a recent autumn shot of Mount Lofty Botanics.
I'm loving the details if you zoom in.
“A mandala is a spiritual and ritual symbol in Asian cultures. It can be understood in two different ways: externally as a visual representation of the universe or internally as a guide for several practices that take place in many Asian traditions, including meditation. In Hinduism and Buddhism, the belief is that by entering the mandala and proceeding towards its center, you are guided through the cosmic process of transforming the universe from one of suffering into one of joy and happiness”
"The continual stream of new discovery, revelation and inspiration which arises at every moment is the manifestation of our clarity. We should learn to see everyday life as mandala - the luminous fringes of experience which radiate spontaneously from the empty nature of our being. The aspects of our mandala are the day-to-day objects of our life experience moving in the dance or play of the universe. By this symbolism the inner teacher reveals the profound and ultimate significance of being. Therefore we should be natural and spontaneous, accepting and learning from everything. This enables us to see the ironic and amusing side of events that usually irritate us.”—Diego Khyentse RInpoche
“If you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.”—Roald Dahl
“I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn’t say any other way—things I had no words for.”—Georgia O’Keefe
“Everybody should have his personal sounds to listen for - sounds that will make him exhilarated and alive or quite and calm.... One of the greatest sounds of them all - and to me it is a sound - is utter, complete silence.”—Andre Kostelanetz
Fotot taget genom skulpturen Mandala som står vid Stora Nygatan, Göteborg, på platsen för den sedan länge rivna Bastionen Carolus Nonus (IX) Rex vid vallgraven. Bortom skulpturen ses Drottningtorget och Posthotellet.
The photo is taken through the sculpture Mandala, standing by the street Stora Nygatan in Gothenburg on the remains of the old bastion Carolus Nonus (IX) Rex from fortified Gothenburg, by the moat surrounding the old city. Beyond the sculpture is the big square Drottningtorget and Clarion Hotel Post.
This is a photo of striated coastal bedrock and a tidal pool at Mavillette Beach. The image has been copied and mirrored twice to create this Mavillette mandala. I love how the symmetrical mirroring has revealed a strong diamond shaped pattern, as well as the various pareidolia portrait entities.

I mandala sono simboli che rappresentano l'universo. Di solito hanno forma circolare e sono tipici del buddismo e dell'induismo, come parte della spiritualità. Mandala è un'antica parola sanscrita che significa cerchio.I monaci tibetana realizzano i mandala di sabbia seguendo una pratica speciale chiamata dul-tson-kyil-khor, che letteralmente significa "mandala di polvere colorata"Realizzare un mandala di sabbia richiede molto tempo, pazienza e precisione. Ma questi mandala di sabbia hanno una vita molto breve. Poco dopo il loro completamento, i monaci distruggono completamente i mandala che hanno creato con così tanta cura ed attenzione. La distruzione del mandala serve ad imparare il non attaccamento, a capire che nulla dura per sempre.
Mandalas are symbols that represent the universe. They usually have a circular shape and are typical of Buddhism and Hinduism, as part of spirituality. Mandala is an ancient Sanskrit word meaning circle.Tibetan monks make sand mandalas following a special practice called dul-tson-kyil-khor, which literally means "colored powder mandala" Making a sand mandala takes a long time, patience and precision. But these sand mandalas have a very short life. Shortly after their completion, the monks completely destroy the mandalas they created with so much care and attention. The destruction of the mandala serves to learn non-attachment, to understand that nothing lasts forever.

TRADIÇÕES MÁGICAS
Em certas tradições mágicas, os discípulos tiram um dia por ano –ou um final de semana, se for necessário – para entrar em contato com os objetos de sua casa.
Tocam cada coisa e perguntam em voz alta:
- Preciso realmente disto?
Pegam os livros na estante:
- Vou ler este livro algum dia?
Olham as recordações que guardaram:
- Ainda considero importante o momento que este objeto me fez lembrar? Abrem todos os armários:
- Há quanto tempo tenho isso e não usei? Será que vou precisar mesmo? Diz o mestre:
As coisas têm energia própria. Quando não utilizadas, terminam se transformando em água parada dentro de casa – um bom lugar para mosquitos e podridão.
É preciso estar atento, deixar a energia fluir livremente.
Se você mantém o que é velho, o novo não tem espaço para manifestar-se.
Tibetan Gaden Jangtse monks huddle over the creation of a sacred sand mandala, an intricate centuries-old meditation motif made from millions of brightly coloured sand grains.
The Gaden Jangtse monks are now centred at Gaden Monastery (Jangtse College) in Mundgod, Karnataka, India. The monastery moved from its original site in Gaden (near Lhasa, Tibet’s religious and administrative capital) to its present location in southern India following the 1959 Chinese occupation of Tibet. The settlement of Tibetan refugees living in exile around Gadan may be the largest of its kind in India today.
Underlying the creation and ultimate dismantling of the sacred sand mandala is the essential Buddhist doctrine of impermanence and the notion that all existence is in a constant state of flux. The Tsengdok Monastery Association describes it as follows:
“Mandalas are drawings in sand of the world in its divine form and represent a map by which the ordinary human mind is transformed into the enlightened mind. The creation of Sand Mandalas takes place over four to seven days, beginning with special prayers and chanting ceremonies. They work all day placing sand practically grain by grain as they create these incredibly rare forms of art and faith ... Upon completion of the Mandala the monks hold a dismantling ceremony whereby the Mandala is blessed a final time and the grains of sand are swept up into a pile – erasing the once beautiful work of art. Some of the sand is given to people present, as a small blessing for their home or gardens, and the remainder is taken to a nearby body of water where it is poured into the moving water which carries the prayers and blessings throughout the earth.”

La fruita a més de ser les postres per excel·lència i d'aportar colorit i bellesa a la nostra taula, el consum regular de fruita representa en la nostra alimentació un pilar de l'equilibri dietètic i la seguretat d'una aportació correcta de determinades vitamines.
No pot ser substituïda per altres postres més moderns sense desequilibrar la nostra alimentació.
Forma part del nostre comportament alimentari prendre fruita després dels principals menjars.
La fruita pelada i tallada a trossos cal consumir-la com més prompte millor, ja que el gust i aspecte es deterioren i el contingut en vitamines disminueix.

Fruit mandala.
The fruit in addition to being the quintessential dessert and to bring color and beauty to our table, the regular consumption of fruit represents in our diet a pillar of the dietary balance and the security of a correct contribution of certain vitamins.
It cannot be replaced by other more modern desserts without unbalancing our diet.
It is part of our eating behavior to eat fruit after main meals.
Peeled and chopped fruit should be consumed as soon as possible, as the taste and appearance deteriorate and the vitamin content decreases.

Se, à lembrança de flor
Se quiser juntar a cor
Talvez se evoque a tulipa
que, mesmo sendo singela
É bela !
E pode ser
desesperadamente - amarela
dolorosamente - roxa
ou ternamente - rosada
ou, tão viva como sangue
rubra !
rubra até ficar escarlate
ou branca
como que exangue !
Mas, sempre, sempre segura
de que na vida - a formosura
nasce mais do coração
e, mesmo sendo singela
é bela
sem qualquer complicação.
