Tree of Life Mandala


June Mandala #2 -
Inspired by the creative spark over at Inspire Me Thursday which was: reflect upon our "roots", literal or otherwise...and create something!
.
Immediately I thought of a tree...I am fascinated by...and drawn to...trees! However, I haven't yet learned how to draw roots...so I let that idea steep a bit while I wrote about my first entry -- and not long afterard, the idea of surrounding the tree with words came to me... (thanks to my muse). These "living words" are just a few of the foundational roots from which my life's garden has grown. Life, joy, compassion, peace, truth, creativity and beauty are a just a few (of many root sytems) that were passed on to me from my parents , my grandparents, and other family elders...and I too have passed them on to my daughter...and so it goes on and on. Roots are a beautiful thing.!

love this thought about your inheritance & love how you surrounded your tree with it.

thanks for stopping by my Month of Todays site...you're right...the best thing about being an artist is that you see art everywhere.

Your roots are strong and bend from the earth and into the sky, back down to the soil. I love the fact you created a mandala to celebrate this very special part of you.
