Each of these mandalas pictures the universal in a singular expression, and thus mirrors our own individual window on eternity. For seven years, between November 13, 2004 and November 13, 2011, I offered daily my individual perspective on this Great Mystery. You may download from these archives and use the mandalas, provided this blog's URL is credited. To purchase a CD copy of the collection, hi-res prints, license information, see henryreed.com

With today being PALM SUNDAY this MANDALA is the very colors of the PRIEST’S VESTMENTS worn today; RED, BLUE and a hint of GOLD THREAD. During Mass I experienced a personal revelation. My personal truth being the last two thousand years under the sign of PISCES has been our testing period and that is what JESUS was trying to show us. How we applied the highest wisdom, love and truth that he came in to teach was going to determine the next age..…THE WATER BEARER AQUARIUS.
This MANDALA also reminds me of the GOOD RED ROAD…
I am sending a voice, Great Spirit, my Grandfather, forgetting nothing you have made, the stars of the universe and the grasses of the earth. You have said to me, when I was still young and could hope, that in difficulty I should send a voice FOUR TIMES, once for each quarter of the earth, and you would hear me. Today I send a voice for a people in despair…Hear me, not for myself, but for my people; I am old. Hear me that they may once more go back into the sacred hoop and find the GOOD RED ROAD, the shielding tree. Black Elk, Lakota Sioux
The Red Road as described by two Native American Spiritual leaders:
"One may be of any race or of almost any religion and walk the Red Road. The Road is a path, away. It's full meaning is the way one acts, the methods one uses, and what directs one's doing. There is more to the Red Road then spoken word or written words on paper. It is behavior, attitude, away of living, a way of "doing" with reverence - of walking strong yet softly, so as not to harm or disturb other life." -- John Redtail Freesoul (Cheyenne-Arapahoe), Spokesman for the Redtail Hawk Medicine Society, from his book "Breath of the Invisible" a Quest Book.
"Together the two path form a north-south road, the good Red Road. This is your spiritual path, the one where you will be happiest." -- Medicine Hawk, Council Chief of the Shadowlight Medicine Clan, and an award winning author, from "Indian Ceremonies" by Medicine Hawk & Gray Cat, from Inner Light Publications.
