Friends can spend time in silence… just being together is what makes the moment “happen”
Actions speak louder than words.
Oyashikiri



Young or old, we should never stop moving, sharing, laughing, exploring, discovering and expressing our individuality. Life is to be lived.
Don’t let someone else, or some”thing” , rain on your parade.

PL Precept #18 Each moment is a turning point

Some days are better than others. However, every day you are part of is a special day. Welcome each new day, there are opportunities around every corner. We need only be open to the “adventure”
Whether you are staying close to home or going on an errand, the world around you is forever changing. No two days are alike.

No matter the venue, the music will still wrap itself around you and whisk you away on a musical odyssey. Seasons come and go… life keeps happening… so why not enjoy it.

PL Precept #7 Everything exists in relativity
Music is everywhere, find what you enjoy… make time for YOU.

My cats watching television. I wonder at times what they are thinking as they watch the birds, squirrels, bunnies and other wild critters go about their business of searching for food on the telly . They sit at the patio doors and look out to the courtyard as well. I took a page from their lives yesterday, and took a day off. I let the world go by, and you know what. it survived without me, and I got along just fine.
PL Precept #20 Live maintaining equilibrium between mind and matter.
Oyashikiri

It isn’t always important to be doing “something”
It is OK, to allow yourself to do “nothing”
Leave your cell phone in the house, or in another room, turn it off.
When was the last time you looked up and simply took in the vast blue sky, or counted the fluffy clouds drifting overhead.

Listening is an Art
There is a difference between “hearing” and “listening”. How many times have you asked “have you heard a word I’ve said”… how often do you feel you are speaking into the wind…
Being Present when interacting with someone is so important.
We all know this, yet….. it is so easy to be so “involved” in our own day to day experiences …. we …. yes… everyone of us…. forget to stop to think when we interact – to be P R E S E N T IN THE MOMENT.

Smiles radiate “happy”
Susan and friend
There was a time when we could enjoy quiet moments of reflection, when there wasn’t an electronic device in every room. We basked in the quiet of the day, we sat outside on the porch or front stoop and enjoyed the day/night. Neighbours going for a walk, or coming home from work, going out for the evening, walking to the bus stop, the pace was slow and leisurely. And…. and…. people waved and stopped to say hi.. good evening/day….
All that has gone away. I’m told that people don’t even have time to play, they are always rushing to get something done/finished/started. Hobby, what’s that?
I have been in my new home now for just a little over a year, it has been a transition, from a house to an apartment . I am still only now realizing that I’m still “adjusting”
Its too early to really talk about it.. but I at least have now accepted that the change.. long overdo… was inevitable.
PL#16 All things progress and develop.
This is the one I’m currently working on…
PL #19 Begin once you perceive
Have a good day everyone!

Surroundings reflect your state of mind
Everything that appears before you is a reflection of your state of mind. If you work to improve your mind and actions, then what appears in the mirror will also be well balanced.
PL 2015
Closing your eyes and listening to music that is simply a melody that drifts in and floats around you….can inspire new vision.
Oyashikiri
Sometimes we need to choose silence over words
Choose silence over performance
