Last month, while visiting friends and attending a play on the Sunshine Coast, we wandered out to Chak-Chak Point. Mainly to get some fresh air and to kill some time before the play.
The sun was shining, a light westerly was present, and the waves were tumbling into shore.
A bit more walking and we discovered a large mandala painted on the pavement leading to the point.
It's a beautiful thing to see, especially when one is surprised by what one sees right before their eyes.
The Roberts Creek Community Mandala is a non-profit, public art work open to everyone. It began in 1997 when five friends came together to paint over negative graffiti in the parking lot on the eve of a summer event.
Nineteen years later, hundreds gather every summer to paint a new mandala.
The Mandala is something special to see, and the community's involvement in creating an expression of peace, love and unity, is inspiring. Good things happen when people come together.
