Heart to Heart: Seed of Life Mandalas

Heart to Heart: Seed of Life Mandalas
Artwork by Kathryn Costa
As I was designing the mandala art to
go with Mae Edward’s article for the
September/October issue of Parable
Magazine, I thought about my own
experience as a mother.
The seven circles are interlocked
throughout the design to illustrate
the connections that we have with
our loved ones, friends, colleagues,
and members in our community.
The “Seed of Life,” a design found in
sacred geometry, is one of my favorite
patterns. It is a perfectly symmetrical
arrangement constructed by drawing
seven circles of the same size.
The flowers and seeds throughout
remind us of how as parents we
are gardeners. There is a time for
planting and tending, and even more
time requiring love and patience.
At the center, I drew my momma’s heart
flanked by six stalks of wheat symbolic of
love and charity and surrounded by little
bursting seedlings.
