Only Now is Real Mandala For meditation, contemplation or decoration The words need little explanation – “Only Now is Real” yet if this is a new concept to you, it may be necessary to consider what that means beyond logic and intellect in order to appreciate the simplicity of the message. Time does not exist – we invented it in order to plan our daily lives and so we use clock time for practical purposes; yet it is always the present moment. Here is a brief idea of what the illustration could mean. As time does not exist, the two clock faces have no hands; the smaller clock face starts a winding path towards its destination which is of course Now (the present moment). The larger clock face stands for eternity and is potentially the everlasting sun. Larger dark circle suggests night as a contrast to the blue sky of day. Either side of the main waterfall are two air pockets; the loose theme being air, water (which is turning to wood), wood turning to fire and then fire to darkness. Flowers and leaves represent life and growth, grey mounds possibly earth. Trees reaching up represent continuing cycles of birth and death and birds stand for freedom. Clouds represent thought movement. If you enjoy this Mandala there are four others for purchase either singularly or in a set:
