Mandala for First New Moon 
6 Jan 2019
The marigold petals and oyster shell share the same wavy edges, although one is very soft and the other is very hard.
As it is with our encounters in life, may all our experiences good or bad, guide us to our highest potentials.
So after a long winter and a cold rainy season, may the sun’s fire energise this new moon with new light and new life.
And may the new moon reflect new hopes grounded in old wisdom in the coming year for our benefit and the benefit of all sentient beings.
