The variety in nature is overwhelming (and beautiful at the same time.) I see varieties in species, styles of cooking, materials—the potential variety in this list alone could be too much for me. I find a relief, a cleansing, in forming HeartPatternsTM such as the Heart Mandalas. TM When I draw a particular heartflower, I am immediately faced with choices. I have to make one decision at a time about which angle or color to use for my next step. This is a lot to ask of me, because I see a lot of options at once. But these are just illustrations, so I can stress less and face the challenge, one heart at a time.
Thank goodness I can self publish books and show a few of my many designs that are available for licensing. Check out the latest books that you can buy through Amazon! Please leave a review if you like my books! Thank you! http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=Tali+Lehavi
Luckily, the technology has allowed me to produce thousands of illustrations, almost as many as I can think. I don’t have to limit myself to one decision. What a relief.
I can even organize them. I am compelled to organize and categorize them. I must reflect as many variations as possible, and in the order that they relate. Sometimes one design relates to several, like a species that begins several new subspecies. And so the need to make small, but manageable decisions continues. These HeartMandalas are a reflection of nature. And they are a product of it. This is yet another way we are all connected.
I am so fortunate for these Heart Mandalas, fortunate that I can create them. I love that I can face the variety and organize it. It’s therapeutic. I love practicing making small decisions that don’t alter life as we know it. And yet they reflect the beauty and the challenges and the harmonies all around.
I HeartMark You!
