Pink Lotus Mandala
Pink Lotus, the supreme lotus, generally reserved for the highest deity. Thus naturally it is associated with the Great Buddha himself. Dated Jan 2006.
THE FIRE WITHIN poem by Nicole Weaver
Deep inside me there is a longing
an urgent need to bring to the surface my desire to succeed,
my entire being shiver with anticipation.
If I were to ignore these feelings
it would be hard to face life,
thing sare not always what they appear no matter the challenge.
I confess to stare life square in the face for the fire within,
will not allow me to embrace any failures that fire within,
lures me into thinking positively so in the end,
I am indeed very satisfied and happy!
that fire withinwill stay with me through thick and thin!

Created in Nov 2008. A Chinese word "福" (means good fortune) was painted in 100 different styles at the center and surrounded by 8 white lotues. White Lotus symbolizes the state of total mental purity and spiritual perfection.. Eight is a number of stability, harmony, and rebirth. Carl Jung considered eight a symbol of wholeness. A great painting for Chinese New Year.
