Description
Somewhere in the universe is an hourglass that holds the grains of sand from the universe. At first glance it would appear that there is nothing special about this hourglass. However, when one looks closer one can see that the sands of time flow through this hourglass. The sand that flows in this hourglass is not like the sand that we see in our world. Instead, it is sand that has a magical property to it. This sand is made of the universal sands of time. Each grain holds unto itself the beginnings of life that may form new galaxies or stars. These grains of sand can hold an infinite number of planets and stars. You see, in our mystical universe the process of creation is infinite and can extend beyond that which we can see. We are also like the sands of time. We are an infinite potential and possibility. Within our being there is a multitude of options for each day of our beingness. How these options play out is up to us and has always been up to us. The fun part of this playing out event is that we can change the outcome to be what we dream it to be. So when you think there are no other possible outcomes, allow yourself to be open at the top. And for just one brief moment visualize the sands of time flowing in, around and through you. Allow yourself to create the mental possibility of infinite possibilities. And then, just as if you were grabbing for a brass ring, pick the ring that feels the most shiny. Yes, it is a feeling. For the soul heart will know which ring is the right one for you. I know that this sounds odd. But sometimes, just sometimes, going with your inner feelings will bring a more wonderful possibility. How divine. How simply divine.
Our thought for the day is: 'I am a possibility. With a mere thought and the blink of an eye I can create the Me that I know that I can be.' Gayle O
May the days of your life bring you joy and delight. And may that joy and delight bring to you the dreams that you most dearly desire.

The original flame was created with Apophysis 3D Hack. The seed script for this image is the Stripes Landscape script created by Chromotron with some manipulation of the bubble transforms. The inset image is the original flame. The main image was then run through the Mehdi Kaleidoscope 2.1 filter in PSP.

another of your glorious pageant images, it's a fractal but it's also a fractal mandala, a great fractal ballet, and a gathering of the forces of the soul for a rite of celebration. You put so much richness into these images, even symmetry isn't "sameness": There's so much variegation. And as for the sands of time, instead of portraying a linear river of sands & time, you've portrayed an ingathering of the soul, as if all those sands lead us to the great center filled with light & gold & mystery. This is one of your gold & earth-tone pieces, with reds & yellows woven throughout; and the lights along the rims are just one way you show confluence, meeting, intensification. And again, your inner rectangle isn't a miniature but a glimpse into 2 converging worlds. A beautiful pageant-like vision to fit your thoughts of us wrapping ourselves in the sands of time as if they were a gown. Another sumptuous piece from you. I can't do more now because of time (temporal time), but Gayle I wish you so much light this month & in your journey. And your sites—which I will revisit soon—are filled with your riches. All my best & much light your way! I'll visit here again soon!

Having not been to your gallery before, I looked at the thumbnails and picked one that appealed visually. This is my second choice and I find both the words and image very appealing. I have read the words twice and will fav it (for both words and image) for future reading. Looking at the image, I hear your words, reading your words, I visualize your image. And my mind opens to new ideas and clearer understandings. Thank you.
