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.

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.

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.

Closing your eyes and listening to music that is simply a melody that drifts in and floats around you….can inspire new vision.

Sometimes we need to choose silence over words
Choose silence over performance
Think “now is the time” Instead of “It’s no use now”… Don’t give up by thinking its too late. Tell yourself that there is more that can be done.
Express yourself carefully to avoid any misunderstandings.

Don’t let circumstances sway your decision
It does not help to overthink things. Sometimes we just need to make up our minds and move foreward.

Needle felted with sheep’s wool that I sourced from shepherds in the area, back in the days when felting was not a common craft / art form in this area…. I found one shepherd who shared my passion, she is the one who had dyed the roving…. that I used for skin tones. I still have my needles and I keep a stash of roving “in case” … I get “the urge”… felting is a relaxing form of expression .. and it helps me keep in touch with “nature”. I would drive the back roads looking for sheep.. Drive up to strangers wanting to know about their charges.. how often they sheared, what did they do with the wool….
I walked the pastures, enjoyed the sheep dogs that herded the sheep, met wonderful grounded souls.. who loved the animals and the earth as much as I did.. I pray and thank the Universe regularly for the life I have been blessed with.
Its not about the quantity of friends one has, it is the quality of the friendships…. in this I am also blessed,
PL Precept #10 Love yourself and others.
