As often happens, this mandala surprised me as it unfolded along a path not originally intended. The dark “space” background was painted long before knowing what the center would be. While “waiting” for the right thing, I came across the diagram of the central design, and was astonished to learn that this is the actual path that the planet Mercury makes while traveling overhead, over a period of 8 years ~ amazing!
So this Mandala is about remembering that there is a heavenly designed, beautiful path for our lives that we are often unaware of. It’s about remaining in awe and in trust of God’s great design for our lives.
“Painting a Mandala is the only thing I know of in my life where time just melts away and I lose myself completely in what I am doing.” ~ Janine Logue Wooten, Mandala Artist
