Today's Gratitude Mandala is sent out with love to Mary and Carlo Busby, owners of Sagrada, This independent bookstore is an oasis of soulful beauty in downtown Oakland that honors all of the world's spiritual traditions and a place I have given several lectures over the years. I am always amazed at the beautiful storefronts that Mary creates which  weds together  an incredible sense of beauty and tenderness with the aches and anguish of our world (memorials to shootings, or to Black Lives Matter or the environment) .(Carlo is a former Catholic monk who left the monastery to marry Mary after they fell in love through music and prayer.  Their mutual commitment to spirituality and social justice is inspiring.  You can visit their bookstore online here. It is a marvelous resource for books, art, candles, vestments, icons and more : https://www.sagrada.com/

    For years, I have been moved by the works of Scottish land artist Andy Goldsworthy, but it has only been this past year of Covid  when I turned to creating art in nature as a way to help me deal with fear, depression and anxiety.  Partly informed by my studies of alchemy and  Medieval architecture and sacred geometry, I began to create objects from the simple materials foraged from my yard and on daily walks in the woods near my home. 

    . May they ignite your own imagination  inspire you to see what is possible  with what is right at hand. What is a weed? What is a flower? It is often only in the eye of the beholder. as my first mandala for Lent taught  me.  This practice has been a good reminder that  beauty is ALWAYS possible, if only we have the eyes to see.
