Spiders spin mandalas of sacred art
Opening portals to the unseen world Ancient silken strings embrace magic I spend a lot of time being aware of patterns. Patterns of man and place, nature and spirit, sight and sound. There are no limits to the patterns that connect us, as the sky against the earth. Waves of movement in the patterns integrate the HU and NA HU: Active - straight lines NA: Still - curves and circles HUNA: "Secret" Hawaiian Esoteric Knowledge Hidden patterns though not secret Inner knowing outward sight rising, swelling, quieting, calming Merging left and right When I create art I am centered in the present moment. Mindful of my every movement. My Piko Piko breath launches me into radiant patterns of love and power. Appreciating the harmony of my work, I send the healing forth to create new patterns in those that are influenced by my work. |

Patterns Concentrate
Circles enhance the effects Spreads and releases tension Energy moves out to the edge Wholeness through intention Rays gather as the lines direct The energy moves inward To a point increase the flow As spokes direct it out Curved and straight the line becomes Squares and triangles hold power Spirits travel in straight lines Unable to turn corners Symbols hold the magic of the form Images held and yet unspoken Thoughts directs the energy On wavelengths pulse intention Moving meditations as in the art of Zentangle® and Cat's Cradle help to open communication and bring into harmony Ku (memory), Lono (creativity) and Kane or Aumakua (inspiration). |

| I scratch my Zentangle® with bamboo needles on the leaves of an autograph tree that grows in Hawaii. The leaves are thick and juicy and the lines turn to gold when first drawn. The process of watching a green leaf turn brown takes about a week and is a meditation in itself. If left in water they remain green longer and if left on the tree you can watch your art grow. I embrace this expression of art that reflects Sabi or the beauty and serenity that comes with age and the process of change. Visit my Squidoo lens The Art of Change These Zentangles become my spirit friends who hold my prayerful intent. |
