When the Earth is your Canvass....

'Our' Mandala...

Have I ever mentioned that I am blessed enough to live in paradise?

It may be hard to tell but this was created by hundreds of individuals painting separate unique art pieces all on the ground- photo taken from above.. I am unsure of the scale.. but I know it is massive!!

In scope and size-

The love and care that goes into this is hand's down one of the most moving things I have ever been gracious enough to bare witness too.

...to put it into perspective here is a shot with people surrounding a piece.

This was last year's Mandala- This year saw the 13th annual Roberts Creek Community Mandala -please visit the web site!

This year the whales and turtle in the centre were significant because of the healing the artistic creator wishes for our ocean's.

It is interesting to me- that with hundreds of people painting- babies to elderly people and everyone in between- that each year I see commonality in what people paint- I noticed this year there are eyes painted opposing each others on each whale's tail.

The entire process is amazing to witness and brought about by a surprisingly small but dedicated and wonderful number of people.

I am so thankful to be touched by such a magical place!!!
