FLOWER MANDALAS I
My motivation in creating the mandala images displayed here was to heal from a decade
of physical and emotional trauma, the consequence of a near-fatal event in Albany,
New York, in 1993. My use of the hexagram (the Star of David, "beloved" in Hebrew)
as the organizing shape for most of the mandala images was subconscious, but I believe
this choice was no accident. In many traditions, the Star of David, composed of two
overlapping triangles, represents the reconciliation of opposites — male/female,
fire/water, and so on. Their combination symbolizes unity and harmony. Listening
to what the mandalas were telling me led me out of a dark place and, indirectly,
to my decision to become a psychotherapist.
The current selection is part of a book-in-progress. My intent is to pair 52 images
with inspirational quotations such that each image-and-quote pair resonates with
a fundamental aspect of human experience. I hope publication of these images will
further the process of harnessing the power of the mandala to heal.
