my mandala took shape and form on an empty page after many stops and starts
the first shape, drawn only after a pause— a quiet breath of letting go
my pen began to move in a rhythm just as the breath does when we take notice and fall into the present…
mandalas always circular in shape draw us into the center— our center our beauty
and in so doing we let go this is my moment my letting go my center my beauty

weeping willows transport us to a time before
when we spent our days dreaming exploring playing
they listen to our secrets offer wisdom and invite us to hide and seek
they bend, twist and turn playfully enchanting us to do the same
beautiful but full of melancholy they assure us that with every end there is a new beginning…

the changing of the seasons often marks a kind of beginning
one that, for me, involves a balance of letting go and holding on
in the fall, the trees rich with color remind me to look forward
but as the leaves begin to fall to also let go
exposed naked raw
the trees reach deep below to their roots for strength to stand tall
and high above to the moon for the promise that change, a new beginning and new growth is soon to come…
so i too reach for my own roots and my own moon
and invite you to do the same
finding strength in where we have been standing tall in who we are now and looking forward to where we are goingbela ’16
the door is open the bird is free but still, she does not fly
the crescent moon is calling to her, inviting her to embrace the change that is on the way
but she is not quite ready to accept the moon’s invitation
and so, the moon waits whimsically patiently
until
she is ready to fly

on september 27th, i watched as it filled the dark sky the blood moon a super moon eclipsed by the earth’s shadow turning it to blood
a symbol of the soul passing through the darkness and illuminated in a brilliant cascade of deep reds

strong wise revered loved
nurturers thinkers mindful of all things
but still at risk
they remind us to hope inspire us to be great but most importantly to reflect on our humanity— our capacity to cause harm but our even greater capacity for good

the flower of life found me at a time of deep loss and awakening considered by many as sacred geometry,
its beauty and power lies in the way each petal is evenly-spaced and connected in perfect symmetry
a symbol of our universal and spiritual connection to each other and the planet earth
its discovery, once again opened my heart to friendship and love new and old

“Rather than just add something to the existing buildings, I also wanted to add something to the lakefront…I have therefore worked to infuse the building with a certain sensitivity to the culture of the lake—the boats, the sails and the always-changing landscape…Ihope that…[I] have designed not a building, but a piece of the city.… Read the rest “the milwaukee skyline”
