Swan Lynn, Soul Maps and Mandalas

Lynn and I get together every other week to write.  Let me introduce Lynn to the rest of you!

We are using Susan M. Tiberghien's book One Year to a Writing Life.  Last week we did the Mandala exercise:  "Often in my journal, I draw a very simple mandala with a pencil, placing an image from a dream or from my surroundings in the center and letting my imagination fill the space around it.  Sometimes I draw the image multiple times, letting it circle around the center, and other times it fills the entire mandala.  I call my mandalas soul maps and I give them titles.  When I go back to my journal and look at one of my mandalas, I can feel where I was at the moment drawing it.  The mandalas are signposts along my path."

This one I made is called "Your suffering has crystalized into a Talisman of Wisdom."

Hey Lynn, I don't suppose you'd share one of yours here????
