The center mandala of education is knowledge. The center mandala of knowledge is wholeness within spiritual creativity.

"The possession of spiritual serenity is the key to knowledge::

The spirit within you is laced

with colored electricity. Filled with

words just scratching

to be touched by pink light.

Gypsy elephant

come alive, dance with your

fear covered spears and fight

with your tower flowers, for inexplicable

Existence."

This is a poetic thought I recorded in my feelings journal while pondering the question of what is education to me? Education is taking all of the elements from a person’s psychic self and nurturing them in a way that will increase their spirit into an individually functioning being. Ultimately, being educated in the world’s cultural intelligence in a way that is personally interesting. Walking through the poem above, the elephant represents my spirit animal symbolizing fortune, strength and stability. The excerpt, “dance with your fear covered spears and fight with your tower flowers,” expresses the idea of using negative experiences for positive reinforcement and using the towering floral design of my cotton candy persona to ward off negative ideas. Education should be taught and participated in a way that brings forth, thus enhancing a person’s unique aura, as well as balancing one’s chakras for full electric existence. This can be done by providing tools and support for a student's specific passions and interests. When we enhance and build up our passions in a way that expresses talent we are then able to see the entire in a way much different than before. When this happens it allows us to appreciate and bask in different schooling subjects through an individually artistic outlet. This will ultimately increase educational growth because of the way the full blossoming of one’s spiritual creativity matures our knowledge. Mentioned in the poem above is the idea of the spirit being infused with neon colors and surrounded by light, this is the symbolization of one’s soul. Below is a prose titled Magenta, my aura color, describing my own creative spirit.

"My magenta fused psyche is the root of all the knowledge I obtain and how I interpret that into education. I was able to accomplish that through the way my mentors nurtured, stressed, and inspired my ego to mature in a way that could reshape the world’s reality into something different that positively affects my learning and spiritual growth.

The center mandala of education is knowledge. The center mandala of knowledge is wholeness between spiritual creativity. Education is taking each element of a person’s psychic self and nurturing them in a way that will increase their spirits into an individually functioning being. Ultimately being educated in the world’s cultural intelligence in a way that is personally interesting.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.
