When the ebb and flow of life, flows easily from one season to another. On the surface, all is calm, while internally each and every molecule of life, is stirring with renewed energy.
a love affair comes full circle – yesterday life was. Today is a new canvas, a new beginning, the tears of sorrow, slip silently away as we herald a new day.

It is a wonderful day, the skies are a dull gray, with the promise of wet clouds and lots of humidity and rain. Taking out the recycle to the curb I couldn’t help but look down at the empty street, both ways, the garbage bags all neatly sucked into the curb waiting for pick up. Green recycle bins stand erect little little soldiers waiting to be relieved of their waste for composting.
Yup another day in the city. Ah we will have the postal worker delivering today, (no delivery on week-ends here in Canada). Smiles at all her readers, can you just feel the excitement of “expectation” … this will be a really interesting day, and it will be fun and meaningful. Look it is has already begun, I am having morning coffee with YOU.
On a more serious note, we have people in our lives that are undergoing surgery today, dealing with medical issues, anxiety. Whatever their concerns, let us join together in prayer … I will do special prayers today at 10 a.m. Eastern. IF you are available to do so, please join me in a prayer of healing. Let us expand our spiritual energies into sharing the burden of worry with those around us.
If it is Star Wars Day, then for sure.. Let the force with be with you .. now and always.
The early morning sunlight was just out of reach as we rounded the bend. The soothing sound of the spring run off making its way to the river is a melody I hope will never end.
With the morning stretching into noon, I thought of turning around, but somehow, I found myself lingering. You’ve fed my need for make believe & replaced my dreams with reality. This has opened up my senses to the awakening energies in the earth, the life force in the trees, and the texture and shapes of all of nature’s bounty.
We met and simply never parted, it was forever from the start. This is written in the wind, and sung by the sparkling waters of the stream.. Harmonizing in the background, is the sweet songs of the many birds who live in this little bit of paradise.
Here on planet earth is an oasis of love that is repeated over and over again in different vignettes all over the world. -Q-
Always think that “everything will work out” When you allow yourself to be pessimistic, your thought and actions become sluggish. Approach everything optimistically without hesitating.
Sometimes, no words are needed. The stance, eyes, ears, say it all. When we look at partners, friends, family, the look might not be as obvious, but there sure is a current that crackles. There is not too much we can do about the reaction of others to our “choices” except, agree to disagree. We are individuals, life would be boring if we were all the same.
No one can take away the joy you get from putting your whole heart into something. The joy you feel when you’ve put your all into something is yours and yours alone. Nobody can take that away from you.
Be a person who can recognize the sincerity of others. When you put your whole heart into things you will be able to notice the sincere, acts of others in the subtle things they do, and appreciate them that much more.

Some moments stay with us forever, while other moments drift into another building a world of abstract wonders. The memories gathered reflect in our personal rainbows. Q

This has been a time to reconnect with friends. No matter how strange, how weird or different they are.. they are friends.. It has been a bit of everything in my world. If anything this “illness” that has befallen the world has shown me is that there is a horrific rift, or divide.. I am hearing humans from all walks of life and the hemisphere .. wanting to point a finger.
We are all human beings, as one friend stated so simply”stupidity is rampant everywhere”
We all want the same thing. Peace and Harmony in our lives. Our families, friends safe. Why is it so difficult for us to learn to, if not agree, at least listen and try understanding another “point of view” I met with a friend the other day who was “hurting”.. we commiserated by sharing “songs”. Life is what we make of it.
Remember to feed the child in you, the young adult, the artist, writer, foodie, whatever makes you happy…. What a wonderful opportunity we have been given. Time to make new friends, catch up with family and friends, or just rediscover your own likes and dislikes. Quality Time!
There are a lot of positives out there. Smile… it feels good to smile, and it catches on real quick.
Accept everything with appreciation. Become a person who can be thankful for anything that happens to them. A person who is always thankful is a happy person.

Every road leads somewhere, getting there might not be easy, but if we take our time, enjoy the discoveries along the way…It will be a trip worth taking.

I have Yoda in my living room and in the bedroom do you know Yoda, are you familiar with his philosophy.
A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense, never for attack.” “Fear is the path to the dark side…fear leads to anger… anger leads to hate… hate leads to suffering.”
Yoda
Do. Or do not. There is no try.”
Yoda, The empire strikes back
How has the last month been for you? Are you the same person you were, or do you feel that you have changed? How long have you been in a “changed” environment, or had your daily routine drastically edited, so that now, you are faced with the daily challenge of “living in the present”..
It is important to be assertive, but maintaining harmony is just as important. Say what is on your mind clearly, but don’t be overly attached to your views. Respect the points of view of others and always seek to find a happy medium.
