Thru the mist of early morning… with the distant sound of the world waking around me… I stood and waited. Would today be the day? I felt a deep sigh escape unbidden from somewhere within me… I had to focus on the tension between my shoulders…. manually letting my shoulders drop into a more relaxed pose.

I had come to meditate and pray… I thought a friend would join me… but I saw no one at the gate… the prayer bell would ring soon… slowly I turned back into the quiet and serene ambience of the inner room. Sandalwood incense floated lazily into the still morning air.

As I bent my head and brought my hands together in silent prayer, I felt the gentle embrace of a warm breeze brush casually past my silent form… This moment was mine… In closing my eyes and saying yes to the silent beating of my heart… I acknowledged the greatest gift in life, is to live in faith… to believe that what will be will be.

Every day is a new beginning a gift from the Universe… the gentle flutter of my heart is steady and pure… in Letting Go.. I am renewed.

Never judge a book by its cover… or think you can “know” someone or something, by just glancing… three friends on a walk, see the same tree stump, not one .. will see and take in the same stump in the same way.

The only thing that is constant in life… is change.

There is something captivating about seeing the trees shake off the winter pallor and begin their transformation — soon tiny buds will adorn the waking branches… you can feel the anticipation in the cool crisp morning air.

sanctuary

When I need to regroup, find my balance, my calm… this is where I go.. the quiet, the bliss.. ahhhhh

Geese flying overhead, their honking a reminder that spring has arrived. the tapping of one of the resident woodpecker drumming out his determined search for food. All wrapped around me surrounding me in the comforting embrace of nature’s embrace. I’d come home!

I felt strong enough to venture down the trail, it was a beautiful day, still early enough that I had the whole acreage to myself.

PL Precept #18 Each moment is a turning point.

For many weeks I have been sidelined by a “health issues” that kept me away, it was so therapeutic to once more be under clear blue skies, my feet walking along the well worn path. Nature is healing. It is gift that we so often overlook and take for granted.

Have a good start to the week everyone!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder (turkey vulture soaring gracefully across the sky)

Basic Description (alicia ambers/Macaulay Library)

If you’ve gone looking for raptors on a clear day, your heart has probably leaped at the sight of a large, soaring bird in the distance– perhaps an eagle or osprey. But if it’s soaring with its wings raised in a V and making wobbly circles, it’s likely a Turkey Vulture. These birds ride thermals in the sky and use their keen sense of smell to find fresh carcasses. They are a consummate scavenger, cleaning up the countryside one bite of their sharply hooked bill at a time, and never mussing a feather on their bald heads.

I am guilty of enjoying watching these birds soar across the sky .. for some reason, I just love the way they ride what to me is invisible, but … to them… its freedom. They are graceful in the air. (to me anyway)

We all have our own way of seeing the world. One of the reasons I take to the open road when I need to unwind, is in hopes of catching a vulture in flight. I am in a metal box on wheels, comfortable it may be… I simply can’t launch myself into the air and fly.

PL Precept #7 Everything exists in relativity

In French there is an expression, (to each his own)… what do you do to unwind?

Is there anyone else out there who loves watching the vulture fly?

Have a good day today!

love

Good morning dear friends … of late you may have noticed that there is a huge posting of new sounds/music that are Ai generated. This one I have added here is one that if you listen to it will show you how it is very different from songs we have been bombarded with over the last few decades.

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=FTBejXsiS5I

The words are meaningful and speak of love and sentiment that many of us feel and live day to day, but never speak out loud.

Songs like this are being viewed and liked by not a few hundred but thousands of listeners.

There has to be a reason, yes? that these songs are being embraced by so many viewers/listeners …

Please … take time to listen to your friends/family/coworkers… and very important, listen to yourself.. take care of YOU.

PL Precept #18 Each moment is a turning point

Have a good day … you are special appreciated and loved.

Happiness is found when we make time for discovering the world around us… away from busy hectic noises and frantic energy from negative activities and action.

When was the last time you took time to “stop and smell the roses”?

Today is Thanksgiving, in PL. The 21st of every month, service is at 10 a.m. Please if you can’t join us in person…. take a few moments around that time, to close your eyes for a few seconds/minutes and simply say a silent Thank You for your many blessings in life. It is a day of sincere appreciation.
