I think I am finally beginning to understand mandalas. And maybe a bit more about Christ (if that is possible). I am reminded that I really am not photographing flowers, but rather the sacred beauty that is within us all.
Blessings to the fathers, and those who have or have had fathers. May our nation be gentle today. The children need us to be love.

We find this stillness at the centre of the wheel of the prayer, but if we were to try to describe that stillness more specifically every one of our traditions would have different terms. As a Christian it seems to me that at the centre of this wheel of the prayer we find the mind of Christ. We find the person of Christ praying at the centre. His prayer is not words or thoughts. His prayer is pure worship, what he calls worship “in spirit and in truth”. It is pure worship of God his Father. It is this prayer of the Spirit in the Christian understanding that pours out of Him into the human heart, into every human heart. The Spirit of Christ universally has entered and touched the human heart in a non-sectarian way.
