Symbala of the Month: December 2006

Deneen Peckinpah's Symbala

"Lahrinda, this latest Symbala is my favorite of those you have done for me. The timing of your creative process was so perfectly in sync with a huge shift within me, the new Symbala reflected my feelings that I'd reached another level of self-acceptance and joy. It seemed to validate my awareness of my own changing reality.

"I'm excited by the way the symetrical design is set against an asymetrical background that looks as though it's in motion. This shifts the whole design as I turn it in different directions. It's always changing, yet always 'right side up', just like my life!

"The circles of color appear to be solid areas of focus and creative choice, part of my identity. The myriad tiny lines are so complex they seem chaotic when, in fact, they express an order sometimes too subtle to see. The Symbala is indicative of something new that's happening when I'm sitting quietly now. All sense of self disappears. Only gratitude exists. Awareness is a pulsing heart that IS gratitude. This 'heart' is an infinitely small particle without limit to its radiant field of pure energy. Deneen disappears, all sense of body dissolves, gratitude alone is the life of this charged particle. There's no one being grateful and no object of the gratitude. Gratitude simply shines forth, the way the sun shines. Countless rays expressing its essential, infinitely expanding, yet unchanging nature."

Thank You!
