Mandala #66: Talking Tom Wood


In reading about Tom Wood's life in the various tributes, I learned that he had bouts of insomnia and would use those times for drawing.  On the night before last, I woke up after a few hours of sleep and could not get back to sleep.  When I remembered what Tom Wood did when he couldn't sleep, I got up and sat down at my drawing table and was able to finish the mandala that I started on November 10, 2021, at which time I had simply made the red circle.   On January 5, 2022, I had begun working on the mandala again, using my non-dominant left hand and drawing the images of animals and one star outside the red circle.  Early in the morning on February 8, using my non-dominant left hand, I added many many letters and a few words to fill in the spaces around my drawings, and Mandala #66 was complete, clearly inspired by the spirit of Tom Wood.
