When you face difficulties start with anything you can do. When you are able to grasp the situation, you will surely be able to notice something that you can do

Being Present

Photographer Daniel Cadieux https://www.dancadphotography.com/blog/

I met this photographer some time back, even before I saw his website and his Instagram, I was impressed with his focus and attention to detail. He could look up into the tree tops and point out the birds looking back at us. I actually didn’t even notice him at first, he had been standing a few feet away from me … just observing waiting … I was at the feeders.. tending the birds.

Over time I got to see him often enough that we got to speak to one another. He shared some of his pictures and I was an immediate fan. The other day I found him (minus zero weather) on the ground along a country side road in much the same position as you see him above, but waiting for the robins and their friends to return to a small puddle of open water to drink and bathe. His patience and attention to the moment is so keen.. I am always reminded when I meet up with him.. that I need to slow down and take in the moment, I will only get one chance at it.

Take action without thinking too hard. No matter how hard you try to foresee the future, you really don’t know how things will turn out. Do your best and see how it plays out..

Today is a day for me to stand back, take a deep breath, allow the moment and the environment to happen, to still the hurry, the bustle and the noise created by others to influence my “quiet’…

When you look at this adorable young bird, it is hard to remember it is a bird of prey. Looks can be deceiving.

People who don’t reflect]
People who don’t reflect on themselves always believe that what they do is right. Even if you fail, you blame others. It’s an inevitable ending after repeated failures. A man who always prays to God and never forgets to rely on God is a man who learns a lot from deep reflection and always moves forward even if he fails.

Translated in Japan 2022.03.02 to English

Yesterday after the Day of Peace service/ceremony, we talked about the word “humble” the definition, what does it mean to you? I asked myself, am I humble, do I actually know what the word means…??? Is this a quality /characteristic that is still part of my/our makeup???

We certainly need these days to do a lot of reflection on… the qualities in life that will help us to regain, less negativity and more love and understanding of all the many challenges and differences we encounter in our day to day. It is easy to speak of love, it is sometimes a challenge to “act” in a caring respectful manner..

take what you need and pass along the rest.

we are gathered here………..

It is not fun to be stuck in one place. Instead of being captured by what’s in front of you, strive to broaden your horizons.

Perfect Liberty 2022.28

The shortcut to progress is to listen with a humble mind. if you are stuck in your own ways, you will eventually become bogged down. Let’s remember to be humble, learning what we an from the knowledge, advice and suggestions of others.

sometimes i ask – will the real me – please stand up!

and then

I stopped and prayed

Praying before taking action changes the outcome. Have clear wishes and do your best. Then something new will open up for you.

Sometimes, silence is the best answer …

being objective…

sun and shadows.. create a moment of tranquility

When you get stuck, take a step back. When you are able to see things objectively, your viewpoint will change and you will receive new wisdom.

How many times have I gotten up, read the lesson of the day, taken it in and moved on with my day… its not till later in the day that the morning lesson steeps in, and I have a light bulb moment. So often in these times, we are multi-tasking, running from one ‘thing to do” to another… let’s remember to take that moment in the day to reflect on “are you being kind to yourself!!”

Remember the mailboxes yesterday, how many of you saw the address on the mailbox… 5501 – giving us another 2 for that day =^_^= (2.22.22)…. … did you see it? or miss it?

Have a great day everyone! Remember life is to be lived.. be kind to yourself!!

we’ve had freezing rain, off to feed the wee ones (birds, wildlife)-yes over snow and ice. a fun drive!

LOL to all you face seekers.. how many faces looking out from the darkness of the woodlands?

Feelings

Sometimes a picture can tell a story … ever had that empty feeling…. we’ve found this wonderful photographer in the States, who has a wonderful way of taking pictures.. They have graciously given us permission to use some of the “stories” we found in our tour of the M6 site. you will see more from this artist over time.

Lately we have had a lot of “sad” experiences within our community. In some cases, we have had to bid adieu to old friends/family members, other’s in our “family” have had challenges that require a lot of “faith” and “makoto” (sincerity). In PL, our first precept is LIFE IS ART. Every day is a new beginning, a new canvas as I like to say. The picture of the mailboxes reminded me of when mail, (the written greeting) was so important, and how everyday, we watched for the mailperson… Yes there were commercial/business envelopes, flyers and advertisements, but.. that is how we kept in touch with family and friends who didn’t live near, news was always so welcome.

How many of you can remember the pleasure of finding a pretty coloured envelope in the mail. One from a pen pal, or friend/family member dropping in to recount their news. Now so many mailboxes stand empty, new technology has changed how we communicate and share. With the change my personal realization is that “feelings” that came with the written word (missive) are often missing. If the mailbox was a symbol of our heartfelt world… would yours be open, full, half full, barely used, and just possibly often empty.????

Be in tune with the feeling of others. Let’s start by trying to understands other people’s feelings.
