I remember a colouring book full of circular designs. When we ran out of pages to colour, we drew our own mandalas. I seem to recall drawing mandalas for some years afterwards.
More recently I heard about Tibetan monks visiting Regina and making a sand mandala at the library. It remained on display for a short while, and then all the coloured sands were swept together and the monks moved on.
I didn't go to see it.
It seemed as if mandalas were just a colourful moment in my memory, until Deb's dream sent me looking for a website to link as an explanation for my comment at her site.
And then I realized that I have built a mandala in my backyard.
And there are mandalas everywhere.

I just said this over in my blog comments, but I'll say it here too: You got it! What I saw was definitely a mandala composed of tiny points of light. I'm going to do a bit more exploration into Jung and mandalas. This is cool stuff. Thanks!
You're welcome! And thanks for stirring up memories. James was experimenting with an online "Mandala Maker" this morning - more cool stuff.
Laura: Happy Valentine's day! I'll borrow Jim's picture of earth on his blog on this date(earthhomegarden.blogspot.com)and "send" it to you.
Here in Massachusetts we are in the middle of a decent (finally) winter storm - 'bout time!
Thanks Tim, that's a sweet picture! I hope you're spreading your storm cheer. I am delighted that we have finally had a good cold spell, and it's lasted long enough that I will actually welcome the break when it warms up tomorrow. Happy Valentine's Day to you, too!
