Mandala of the Chronos’ Dream - Meditations on Regression

2012
Metallic Gel Pen on Illustration Board

In the swirling
Of Time’s passage

To the past
I was

In the present
I am

To the future
I will be

In the face of the I AM
There is none

1. Acknowledge

Return to what was
And remember all

From man to child
Child to infant
Infant to womb
Womb to void

GOD

2. Release

Move in the infinite
Spin to all possibilities
Of creation
And look back . . .

What is past
Forges the present
And foretells the future

To learn and forgive
To love and not forget

The struggle on the path
Renewed . . .
Reborn . . .

3. Awaken

I am
Is not who I was

I am
Is not who I will be

I am
Here and now

And choose
The light of eternity . . .

4. Return

Still the hands move
Telling day and night

A day to be made
By my will
In ONE

*Please check out the 'sister' mandala to this piece. It was created by the beautiful Hadas at around the same time I was doing this artwork:

Greetings Chip

Aside from this being my 2nd gear work (I distaste using the term "Steam Punk"), I did use a stronger silver base to all the line work here making it different

Salamat (thanks) at samuli (and until then)

Another mandala to which I resonate. Triskell swirling in the form of a rainbow from a pentagram. Never thought of the time god as a being who dreams! But time IS a dream, isn't it? The first steampunk mandala I see :-)
