Mandala of the New Eden

2011

Metallic Gel Pen on Illustration Board



Exiles from the truth
Exiles from Peace
Exiles of Love

We seek
We pray
We long for the return to Eden

1. Acknowledge

We are children of the light
Hidden in the darkness

We are fruit of the garden
In a land now wasted

We seek the Promise

Peace

2. Release

Eden is a past
Long forgotten

The home we live in
Is neither Paradise or Damnation
Yet is a creation of our forefathers

The Nirvana we seek
In now in our hands to create

We will now till the lands
To bear fruit for man and beast

We will nurture the green
To feed and fend us

We will make peace
With what was, what is and what will be

Peace

3. Awaken

Eden is upon us
Not a land that we seek
But a land we have forged
In LOVE

4. Return

The Promise is real
The Promise is within

Eden is our heritage
Eden is our legacy

Peace

Look. Art knows no prejudice, art knows no boundaries, art doesn't really have judgement in it's purest form. So just go, just go.

From afar I see a snowflake. From up close I can see the pine cones or pine trees around the border. I see the feathers of the snowflake. I see doves in the circles.

Lovely as always, my friend.

Thank you my friend

This is truly one of my most foliated of mandalas, and I am actually glad you are seeing more images than what I attempted to create

That is the beauty of these mandalas / visions . . . they were never meant for me to understand completely and are made for others to see beyond my comprehension

Salamat at Samuli

What's interesting i can actually see aspects of a garden in here, butterflies, leaves, gentle shapes and lines..
Gorgeous as always! I can just imagine how wonderful this would look tattoo'd on someone's back...

Thanks Chip
