From Heather:
“As a blind man feels when he finds a pearl in a dustbin, so am I amazed by the miracles of awakening rising in my consciousness. It is the nectar of immortality that delivers us from death, the treasure that lifts us from death, the treasure that lifts us above poverty into the wealth of giving to life, the tree that gives shade to us when we roam about scorched by life,the bridge that takes us across the stormy river of life, the cool moon of compassion that calms our mind when it is agitated, the fun that dispels darkness, the butter made from the milk of kindness by churning it with the dharma. It is a feast of joy to which all are invited.”

Love the graduation of colors and the center that pulls your eye in…like gravity. Cool :0)

Thank you all, I am playing with a new style I call “chunky brush” I want to break images down to color and chunks of light. I liked the way this one worked out, and I have gotten even better with the idea now.

I love it! Your ‘chunks’ are so detailed. I tried something like this last week and mine looks like brush-rubs! Well done indeed!

This is a wonderful focus piece for meditation… the colors, the subtle movement and the peaceful feeling of that moment right before you fall asleep….a place of rest and safety. Restoration of the soul.
