THERE IS NO TIME

THERE IS NO TIME MANDALAThere is No Time (Earth Mysteries series) © Sue O'Kieffe 2009

When doing becomes infused with the timeless quality of being, that is successSAND ~ Eckhart Tolle
One of the pleasures I experienced this summer was drumming with a friend at the ocean. We walked a long enough path through a couple different microclimates, stopped to examine the blooming flora of the season, then descended down to a place butting out in the ocean and got out our drums. We could hear seals barking and watched gulls, pelicans and cormorants fly past us. We drummed to the earth and the ocean, chanted and felt the wind blow through our hair and the sun shine warm on our faces. When I drum, there is no time.
I created this mandala as a remembrance of those very special times honoring Mother Earth with the heartbeat of my drum and the sacredness of my voice.

I like the title -- There is No Time. The mandala is beautiful -- it looks a little bit like a sand dollar, don't you think?
