Remembering Mark
July 13 is the anniversary of my son's death. I had started this mandala a couple of weeks before that, with no intention of making it a memorial. I loved the various elements but it had no cohesion. However, as the date approached, images and symbols of him kept tugging at me to be included. Finally I surrendered to the obvious - it was Mark's mandala. He took charge and it came together very easily.
