I’ve been experiencing, and thus writing, that life is a series of “connecting dots.” Year 2016 is proving this to be true at a grounded level. Here is another example:
I recently met Malini, a woman from Pakistan, and we are becoming friends. Yesterday we went to our local homeless shelter to see what the needs are. During our time together I asked her if she was an artist since I am looking for folks to create their Circle of Life mandala map to help me promote my new coloring book. She said yes and introduced me to Rangoli, a traditional art of India used to welcome guests, and her vimeo: Rangoli, a film by Malini Kalki and Chaitanya Kola. When I first saw the artistic images I thought of crop circles. Mandalas’ “connecting dots” are a universal language!
