Synchronicity is a curious butterfly, even on the internet. ‘Mandala’ came to mind already this morning reading a young American writer / healer making her way in Ireland. She is explaining her logo and the linked internal meanings as she expresses them. I must ask her about mandalas. She combines her nested circles with the dynamic of a Celtic knot: the colours are rightly symbolic. It was a while ago when our youngest came back from India impressed with the renewable mandalas created with coloured sands at the front doors of village homes: representations of welcome and protection having a two-way connection with the ground and place. The history of this form is profound. It looks like you have yourself a ritual year, with a good kind of liturgy?
Thanks so much for writing, Philip, and how wonderful that mandalas were already on your mind when this arrived. I don't know enough yet about the use of mandalas in India, however, I love the idea of creating something to sit at the threshold of homes, villages, forest edges. I sense it will be an interesting exploration discovering more about them and I hope to share more of that here. And you have me wondering about the notion of a ritual year, I think you may be on to something very nourishing there! Really appreciate you commenting. Will
What a lovely practice and journey into self and your new path. Thank you Will for sharing your experience. It’s really lovely. The energy you are projecting is so uplifting. 🌿💫
Thanks Emma! What I found moving, and with a little sadness actually, is that I have not spent nearly enough time in nature this year, caught up I suppose on the hamster wheel of creating this new path, and I appreciate you noticing that energy which I sense is partly nature flowing through me. At least that's how I felt these last days.
Widening circles mate... the idea continues to unravel me in the best possible way! Blessings to you. By the way, I believe my next poet to delve into will be Don Domanski, are you familiar with him, he sounds like a fairly well known Canadian poet/writer?

From accountant to accountability...
happy inner travels 🪂
Thanks Veronika! ☺️
Beautiful! I love your video and the description of your mandala. What a lovely idea! Such a creative approach to the wheel of life!
Thanks for reading! And yea, it does feel like a wheel of life ☺️
So much resonates here as an accountant and writer trying to do something meaningful in the world.
Thanks for reading Matt, and I appreciate your view as a fellow accountant. How to make some meaning in the world is a lovely question to hold.
What a lovely practice and journey into self and your new path. Thank you Will for sharing your experience. It’s really lovely. The energy you are projecting is so uplifting. 🌿💫

I guess at least because you have had this realisation you'll be able to create a balance of embracing natures gifts much more as you journey onwards.
Very true! Thank you 🙏
Beautiful Will! Can’t wait to see it all unfold! Bless you. 🙏❤️

Yes! I had seen his work. I do need to go deeper. Looks like I’ll be getting his selected works. 🙏❤️
Thank you for sharing those beautiful and decisive moments of your life with us.
And thank you for taking them all in, Arnaly! 🙏
