Steven, the "Source" material was that place inside me that needs to have connection with Spirit in order to repair and go on from a place a gratitude and wonder. When I look at the Mandala, I see Christian symbolism that I didn't consciously include (the 12 petals, the images of 3 that might be construed to relate to the Trinity) but that may have arisen from my subconscious given my religious instruction as a child.
Hello Meri. It is a beautiful Mandala, coming from a very deep place in you, clearly. I love looking at its richness, color and texture. It is very heart-opening with those little red flames surrounding the center, the core of the Self as Jung would say. Here is a nice link on Jung's take on Mandalas. http://www.redicecreations.com/article.php?id=1722
Allegra asked me to ask you if she is the only one who sees "the beautiful trillium faces like some creatures from a very peaceful and friendly place. As beautiful as inside her [your] spirit" and she sends her love.

when i first glimpsed this image it made me think of kiwis. that aside, i think it's a good image to meditate on. hope all is well.
I will take a good long dose of this....I could use some slow, still silence right now.
exquisite! Cathy
This reminds me of how I used to sit for hours as a child with a kaleidoscope.
very lovely meri. i'd love to know what your source material was. that always tells the beginning of the story of a mandala. steven

Ah...words seem appropriately inadequate.
