Mandala Monday Inspirations
Mandalas from the Heart of Change 8
When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake rests
in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief.
I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light.
For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.
~ Wendell Berry

About Atmara:
Atmara Rebecca Cloe began her work as a digital artist in the spring of 1996 when she purchased her first computer and began her digital art business. She is primarily self taught. She took a few art classes in college, but never had success with traditional media. “I had to wait for computer technology to be where it is now to find a medium where I could truly express my gifts.” Personal mandalas are her specialty and information about them can be found under the Personal Mandala link. All of Atmara’s work is available for licensing. If you would like more information about how Atmara creates her mandalas see the post The Magic of Mandala Making – Living Art. Atmara lives in the Ashland, OR where she is constantly inspired by the beauty around her, the love of her friends, and the antics of her very silly cat, Sophia.
