Express your feelings straight away. It will be good if you could express your feelings as they are to people around you, when you are happy or when you are troubled. Also, it will be a good chance for you to get to know others.

Friends come in all shapes and sizes. I’ve been blessed with so many wonderful people in my life. Some I see sometimes, others I may not see often, but always, there is communication of some kind. Alan Watts (Alan Watts was an orator and philosopher of the 20th century. He spent time reflecting on Personal Identity and Higher Consciousness.) believed, we were all One, and friends were an extension of ourselves.
In PL, one of our Precepts is… All is a mirror…. Precept #15
After spending time with a number of friends yesterday, I went to bed feeling elated and pleased. So many different personalities, yet, every single one I visited with, spoke to, spent time with, gave me pleasure by being who they are.. I felt very blessed to have shared time with them. It was like receiving a bouquet of flowers, Each flower, leaf, stem unique… together they were a beautiful vision, and then when you look at each one, you saw/see another kind of beauty .. no one flower was the same, each had /has a personality of his/her own.
Make happiness with willingness. People who like to make an effort can enjoy anything. Those who spare no effort for anything and anyone know the joy of making art. Make an effort with willingness,

I had to reread this quote a few times to have it sink in, Does it resonate with you?
“let’s start the day with a positive outlook, looking forward to what we can discover,” PL 2021. 12
Well done is better, than well said.
Sometimes in life, you get a call that sets you on an adventure. You have all at one time or another heard me refer to activities in Second Life, ( virtual world created by Linden Labs, CA) There is an avatar in SL called Trowzer Boa, who performs in SL 5, 6 times a month when his RL schedule permits. There is a wealth of talent that cannot always be showcased in the virtual environment. Dave is professional musician in RL and plays in SL to entertain his followers there, and enjoy a more laid back opportunity to have fun with his music. Here he is playing at a concert in PA. called in last moment to fill in for their regular saxophonist who unfortunately could not make it.
Let’s find the joy in everything. Are you looking for things to complain about? Let’s change our perspective and live a cheerful and joyful life.

Always have presence of mind. If you overexert yourself, you will get easily swayed by emotion. Always put the best Makoto (sincerity) with presence of mind.

Contentment, is when you feel a peace that is filled with joy, happiness and a bliss that is beyond words … it can last a moment … it can be a second of awareness … … … when it visits … … you know the experience is to savor.
Discover something new today. Have a willingness and an interest, and start your day with excitement

OK Trow played last night but it was at 5 slt this is an old poster, and China was not wearing a red costume she was wearing something else, but... the reason I’m posting about dancing and music is that it was FUN. So much we do in life is not about FUN it is about working at, or working for, or doing something for work or a project or, or, or…. One of the reasons the Trowzer Boa experience is such a delight is he is a musician that loves to improvise, his music is familiar yet different, he takes melodies and rearranges them. His whole set is fun, flirty and full of instrumental story telling. For a music lover it is a journey of the senses.
During the day we are bombarded with words, and more words.. and in most shows there are more words and story telling that are full of words that create what we take in. Whether radio/television, internet where we are reading, we are seeing/listening to words of others wanting us to see/hear what “they” have to say. What I have discovered working with Trowzer Boa * these many years now is that he provides a backdrop for MY thoughts, MY feelings, the music fills the air and my body will respond to the rhythms, I find myself “chair dancing” “toe tapping” singing words that may or may not be right, it doesn’t matter, they fit into MY Moment in time.
I question why Wednesdays are called “hump days”… does that not put a negative on the day before it even begins. Every day is a wonderful opportunity to explore and experience the world and the people around us… Just saying.
We all have different ways of feeling and thinking. Let’s always accept others’ differences and respect one another. Remember that “different strokes for different folks” is the key to having harmonious relationships with the people around us.

When you think “I’ve got it” think again. It is easy to misinterpret the situation and jump to conclusions. Always have a humble attitude and double check to make sure.

Enjoy these last days of summer, last night I heard a Halloweens tune at a concert I was at. Already there are signs the leaves are starting to change in places. This morning temperatures are more seasonal, in the 50’s.. Oh Oh OH OH pumpkins and goblins will soon be the theme of the day. You all know me, maybe I’ll find another crow for my indoor decor… LOL.. I can see some cringing happening out there… no I guess the turkey vulture I got last year that sits on the top of my cabinet in the living room looking down on guests can hold center stage for now..
I must say I find it truly amazing how newcomers to my “welcome room” are very discreet as they take in the eyes boring down on them. I tell you honestly, none comment, although, I note they don’t look up often. Will I ever grow up and out of this silly quirk of mine, likely not…Like a good wine, I’ll improve with “age” ..
Everyone has their own way of seeing and thinking. There are different points of view and ways of thinking which makes it interesting and creates new ideas. Try to enjoy others’ expressions.

here is another quote..
Always pray to become a better person. If you are content with the status quo, your progress will stop. Always seek for ways to improve yourself and continue to move forward one step at a time.
Perfect Liberty 2014. 12
I was asked the other day,” how does one pray, what do you mean by pray”…. that is a very difficult question to answer in one sentence .. and it can’t be the same answer for everyone. Prayer is a very personal expression/action… we all are different in how we approach life and our way of dealing with life’s opportunities. I see prayer as a way of connecting with my inner SELF. and for ME… I believe that I am ONE with the Universe… so being in the moment, and taking time to sit quietly and BE in the moment with Makoto (sincerity) in my intent… some call it meditation… Prayer and Meditation are words.. it is the act of Being ONE with your inner Self.
You are welcome to share your thoughts in the comments below. Have a great day everyone, I appreciate and “love” you all.
Are you caught in an in-between world. Do you find that you are often thinking of what was, or wondering what happened to?
Do you find yourself watching movies or made for television series that have you lost in another person’s world/fantasy.?
Are there moments when you feel the weight of the world on your shoulders.?
Don’t give up! Keep at it until you accomplish what you’ve started. The key to achieving something is to stick to it. If you are able to continue something from start to finish, you will be sure to accomplish it no matter how difficult the task is.
