Description
This is a digital mandala or kaleidoscope in shades of red, blue, black, yellow and orange. This particular one depicts how I feel today. In pain. I have five chronic pain conditions including fibromyalgia, arthritis, degenerative disc disease, peripheral neuropathy, and TMJD. Some days they ALL act up. Today is one of those days. The red arrows point to the center, which is my body and brain, and the frayed edges are my nerves. I somehow worked through my pain today by creating this...the distraction of the artistic process helped so much.

Joy McKenzie replied:
Jolanta my friend! I'm glad this one caught your eye. Yes, I have back issues as well...6 treatments in the past year, and well...I'm about 20% better than when I started. Thank you again, and I hope your back feels better soon! :)
