The Mind's Mosaics


Human emotions and moods shuffle in shifts and shapes like the glass pieces in a kaleidoscope. Every day we choose a response to the imagery received. Some days exhilaration energizes our choices. 

Other days our temperament and attitude may cause perplexity and irritation. The edges and colors re-arrange into patterns of behavior to view, focus, and interpret. Vibrancy and reflection appear at each turn of life's cylinder.

Knowing oneself feels mysterious and requires effort.

What to do?

Take advantage of potential by staying present with the mosaics of each moment.

Engage with emotions and permit them to shine their messages without a reaction.

Let them collide into a variety of patterns and opportunities.

When observing the messages. Stop and take a breath. Move on with the lessons they present.

Self-compassion begins with the breath. Stay with it to relax the body head to toe.

Relent to the feelings of restlessness.

Focus on what occurs moment-to-moment.

Watching the collisions of the mind's pieces creates the most challenge. Try not to judge or assign right or wrong to the feelings and thoughts that arrive.  

In this way you can address anger, passion and pride. Let them take turns on the kaleidoscope. Observe without self-deception the aspects of your personality and behavioral choices. 

Push borders with playful honesty. Take on tenacity with a sense of humor to deepen self-awareness. Discover ways to avoid distress.

Acknowledge aversions and cravings.  Make different turns of the scope next time.


Sift the mind's mosaics like a kaleidoscope. Benefit from all the dimensions of YOU!
