One of my favorite art blogs has a blog post about Tibetian Sand Mandalas, one of my favorite art forms.
There are two videos about how they are made and why. And why they are ruined once they are finished.
Please visit the blog and the specific blog entry here.
I remember when I was a kid and visited Budapest with my parents. In a bakery there was this statue made of cake, or a cake as a statue. It had been sitting there for a long time and although a fascinating peace of art it was greasy and dusty and quite... Eergh!
It feels much healthier for mind and body to realize that nothing lasts, and eat the cake.

Art without ego or very little.
I always believe art is the moment of creation.
It must also be very relaxing for the mind to do a mandala like that.
Maybe I should do that to relax.
Hi Désirée,
You are so right in saying:
"It feels much healthier for mind and body to realize that nothing lasts, and eat the cake."
Living the present and enjoy your life and current activities is what matters without worrying about tomorrow.
Big hug and have a great weekend.
Thank you. I hope you've had a great weekend as well.
I don't worry much any longer. It doesn't make anything better. Either there is a solution or there isn't. In neither case worry won't do any good.
