LAST ISSUE'S IMAGE (ISSUE
#38)-
a cactus, according to the sales receipt.
LAST ISSUE'S IMAGERY -
I usually think of cactus as prickly or with thick, rubbery-type
leaves. Though, on close-up
the leaf edges are "toothy", overall the plant seemed
somewhat smooth to me and the leaves not as "tough"
as they appear in the closeup. See full
plant for a totally different feeling.
When I saw these plants in the nursery, I was immediately
attracted to them, once again having the feeling of mandala.
Given this is the third time, I think, in these Issues that
"mandala" has come up for me, I decided to "google"
a definition.
On http://www.crystalinks.com/mandala.html
it states:
<<Mandela [sp] derives from the Hindu language meaning
'concentric energy circle.' A circle represents protection,
good luck, or completion. Mandalas are linked with sacred
geometry, psychology and healing >>
I can identify with all but one of the elements listed. Guess
which? I think those of you who like science and/or mathematics,
will find the sacred
geometry
link there to be quite interesting.
SUBSCRIBER COMMENTS include:
"WOW. I think this is my favorite so far. It's like a
present! or a fabulous birthday cake! It's incredibly beautiful.
I love the way the light shines through."
"I like this one because the shapes seem to go deeper
on infinitely."
"Oooooooooooooooo, purple and green - my two favorite
colors!!! They just make me come alive. And the smooth surface
on the leaves as well as the tiny toothlike protrusions are
very cool too."
"Another breath taking visual moment!"
TODAY'S IMAGE -
There ARE orange leaves here in Florida!
Appreciatively and Inspirationally,
