AEDM 13 - COMMUNITY CREATING PEACE MANDALA

community creating peace

Community Creating Peace Mandala - (Mandalas for Peace Project) - © Sue O'Kieffe 2008
source image - eucalyptus leaves

There can be no vulnerability without risk, there can be no community without vulnerability; there can be no peace, and ultimately, no life, without community ~ M. Scott Peck

When I began to create this mandala, the first image I saw was two hands cradling a seed. As the mandala progressed, it evolved into a circle of hands, each nurturing its own seed, as well as offering it to be planted in the center. What will grow there?

What would you plant in the center, within your own community?

This mandala was created for the Mandalas for Peace Project and posted for day 13 of Art Every Day Month.

That's a particularly interesting mandala, Sue. It looks like something that has had the color discharged out of it. Very cool!

My eyes are drawn right into the center seed of your beautiful mandala Sue! Comforting, embracing colours!
