Absolutely enchanted by this sand mandala at the San Antonio Museum of Art, created by actual Tibetan monks and allowed to be preserved by special permission from the Dalai Lama.

To preserve that which, by its nature, should be transient, so that it can be shared. The inherent tension in taking away that which gives it significance in order to educate countless others.

Edit: adding some higher quality images and provenance information.

comfort check

if you're sitting in a chair or laying in a bed this is a reminder to get comfy. sometimes when I sit in the chair I just sit in it but I don't really get comfy. I think this is a niche thing to remind people about but being comfy is really nice

I wish I was a muppet so I could flail uncontrollably with no consequences. And for the scrunch

"childlike sense of wonder" this and that. Personally, I'm cultivating my elderly sense of wonder. Hence my excitement over a perfectly ordinary bird in my backyard or an above-average-sized vegetable.

this is your random reminder to CHECK IF YOU'RE STILL HAVING FUN

are you enjoying scrolling tumblr? watching youtube? reading that book? playing that game? drawing that art? doing that activity? if not,

YOU CAN STOP AND DO SOMETHING ELSE

you don't have to stick to something that you are doing for fun if it isn't fun for you anymore. You can come back! If you've loved it before you are likely to love it again! but you can stop!

Don't get stuck in a loop of doing something that you think should be fun when it isn't! You can put it down for a bit! Maybe that's the very thing that will make it fun again later!
