** countless people have handled and walked on or over that plank, its been used, over and over again, doubt that its been thanked. In my lessons on walking softly, I am learning to appreciate all that is around me. could each step, each plank I use, become a prayer…

for some reason the camera is acting finicky… half of the pictures taken the other day were not focused properly, I recall having trouble with the adjustments at the time.. of course its when I get home and upload them that I see just how wonky some of them turned out. The blue jays don’t strike me as being crisp… but.. and I do see the little chippy.
You can freely express yourself within the rules. Consider rules as a canvas on which to express your specialty artistically
I’m not in a rush, please stand by while I move over when I’m ready
Turtle rescue – one of the regular hikers .. found a turtle on the paved road.. it was very dry and far from water. He picked it up and carried it to a body of water.. (2 km. further down the road)
sharing love and compassion will always be rewarded.
Tell yourself “things happen” Even if something is inconvenient, once you accept it you’ll be able to move onto the next step.
Don’t think “I can’t” from the start. Begin by taking the first step. Then you’ll be able to see what comes next and a path will open.

I prayed, I reached out, the Universe provided. the power of prayer is amazing.
This tree in the woodlands on a trail I frequent, stands tall .. towering over the other trees, I can always see it in the distance as I make my way on the trail. I was struck with how it just seems to float in the sky, I’ve taken a picture of it almost every time I am there. This obviously means I have lots of pictures of it against the sky, yet I never seem to share this view when I sit down to visit with you.
Face each moment, each place with a fresh outlook
Face each moment, each place with a fresh outlook. If you handle a situation with preconceived notions or prejudices, your judgement will be clouded. Take on each situation with a blank slate, as if seeing it for the first time.
Improve yourself to have a kinder heart. Do what you can to be caring and considerate to make others happy.
Perfect Liberty 2021.3
Embrace the moment, have fun, let it happen -reach out and be playful, who cares what others are doing, just be yourself.. dance down the trail, shake a foot, relax the shoulders, shake the hips.. laugh out loud. Its your day, your moment, express yourself with Joy.
I am filled with the unquenchable joy of Spirit! There is a joy I feel that comes and goes in response to what is happening around me. Yet I have a joy that is beyond what I feel as a response to people and circumstance. The spirit of God within me is my source of true joy.
In the presence of divine joy, I am encouraged to be aware of the love peace and strength that are in me, in others and throughout the world.
Daily Word, 209, Psalm 92:4
Each person’s peace leads to world peace. First of all, you have to be happy. that happiness will spread and be the foundation of World Peace.
Going through family photos I found this one of Dean, for those of you old enough to remember him when he lived in this area, he was a very gifted and talented (at the time) young man. He was the morning man for what was at that time one of THE newest and most progressive stations in this city. CKOY. He had, probably still does, had the talent of being able to do voices and characters in a way that the audience thought he actually had different personalities with him in the studio. His love of music and his ability to recognize talent also gave him an edge at drawing his audience. It was at a time when the DJ got to pick his own music and pull his show together “his” way. It wasn’t all automated the way it is now.
Dean later went on to bigger markets, from one major city to another in Canada. He added acting, doing voice overs to his resume and the rest is history. Why… you ask am I talking about Dean, I guess its because someone asked me about him the other day, and shortly after I saw Shirley’s pictures of her trip across the Alpine in NZ which I shared with you yesterday. Dean was a character actor, much of his work if it was voice over was not seen, only heard. There are many actors everywhere who you would not recognize on the streets but their voices have been heard worldwide.
In PL when we look at Precept #1… life is Art…………. every day this Precept helps us maneuver and use our creativity to make choices, and live our lives in a meaningful way. Some days are more meaningful than others, but each and every day is a day we live, it is our existence. Each experience we live, adds to our personal dimension. Cuts another facet in our “Being”
cats doing what they do well… watching the world go by…
We, all (human beings) have been doing a lot of “watching the world go by” these past many months, we have had to be resourceful and use all of our creativity to deal with the many changes that have taken place all around us.
One of the “wisdoms” I took away from my time with Dean was his ability to use his creativity to deal with the many challenges/opportunities that came his way. We were so totally different in many ways, yet very alike in others. Our similarities (for me) have only come to light in my more recent years.
Every day, I am reminded through PL teachings that it is very important to live each day with Godin our center, but to try to live each moment with Makoto.. sincerity.
To succeed with his audience, Dean made us all believe and get to know the personalities he shared with us, his talent at doing the voices and recreating each character was a gift. He shared it willingly. I must ask him next time I see him, how hard it was to maintain “balance”. Every character/role we play in life, the hard core fact is.. they are all US, or the person who is you.. Who you are when you say ME.
PL Precept #20 Live maintaining equilibrium between mind and matter.
Each facet in a diamond is part of a whole. We are all ONE with God/Nature.
a Trans Alpine Trip by train from Christchurch NZ to Greymouth. – Photos Shirley Keen
Everything here is soooo green, lush and over grown, when I saw Shirley’s photos from her trip she was just on, I asked to share a few with you. Isn’t the world a wonderful place, the geography is so different .. depending on where you are on the “globe”
Life is what we make it.
Don’t think overly about people. Instead of being excessively concerned about others, focus on what you should do.

I had wonderful “ladies day” outing, we had lunch at a cafe/restaurant on the canal, ate out by the water. I didn’t intend for it to happen but I have a golden glow that wasn’t there earlier. The sun was out, there was a breeze, company was exceptional, food was good.. hey.. Life is Good!
