Ice crystal

Life can sometimes feel so harsh. Cold blue colors, like an ice crystal. When the water is frozen, it doesn’t flow anymore. Life seems to be stagnated. Sometimes I take a picture, look at the result and I feel that is doesn’t work out, and I do it over again. And again. I make small adaptations: a small step to the front, or I get closer to the ground or I leave one color out, or I come back another day. Until I am satisfied.

Continue. Don’t give up too fast, strive for what you want. It’s reachable.

Heaven’s flowers

Heaven’s flowers can be picked as well. ‘Carefully’, because these flowers are fragile too. Luckely, they don’t perish. Heaven’s flowers stay with us forever. Unfortunately, we are not continuously aware of this. It can be like walking through a meadow full of flowers that is overgrown by grasses. However, unprepared and unexpected, we sense the full beauty of a heavenly flower through a color, an odor or maybe even a flower from earth. And like the flower rises up towards the sun, this  encounter lets us travel to a blissful realm where everything is pure, shiny, colorful and in balance. After we ground ourselves on the earth again, we might see flowers everywhere: on the side of the roads and flowers in the sky.The mandala is like the flower wanting to attract your attention. It screams: ‘look at me, go towards my center’. Guided by this art we surrender and get lost in each micro cosmos, reaching the world’s center and also our own. We can use mandalas in our everyday life, like putting flowers on our table in the middle of the room. We pick the flowers that attract us at the very moment. In birth and death different flowers decorate the scenes of our life. Like flowers, mandalas can help us to move through both beautiful and difficult times.Photograph made in the camera using multiple exposure mode.
