Pet and Cal dancing in the park….

Appreciate the Makoto (Sincerity) of the People who came before you.

Everything we have today was built upon the hard work of our ancestors and the people who came before us. Always remember to be thankful and humble and continue to build on their past successes.

PL2019.11

Dancing allowing the music to flow in and around you… letting your body move to the natural rhythms so you harmonize with the world around you is a wonderful way to “let go” of body stress. Q

Friday

Be careful not to lean towards only what you like

Live a life of balance; don’t just do the things you like to do or are good at … or already know what to do

PL2017.19

For everyone who asked, Com Quem Contar is a song from the PL songbook, originated out of Brazil, written by Ana Marie Miranda Coelho Rio… it is a song about trust, and faith. In English the title translates to Who to Trust. Thank you, glad you enjoyed it and found it uplifting. If you missed it, it was in yesterday’s post. We sing the song everywhere, it is joyful, in Brazil they even have a little dance when it is song, In Canada, we (I admit) sway and get into it when we sing it… smiles.. it is very hard to not get “into it”. We do sing it in Japan when the International groups convene.. someone will get on the piano in the grand entrance to the International headquarters… and it isn’t long before we are all gathered and singing it…. It is only a little over 3 minutes but we will sing it for longer, repeating it as we march along the roadside towards one of the gathering places…. life is joyful when shared with friends who share in they pleasure of music… Music is universal...

Be happy …. love..

Japan will host international members at the PL Headquarters near Osaka …. it is a big celebration and time of renewing one’s faith and the teachings of the PL philosophy .. objective World Peace. Members come together, from all corners of the world.

martes

Are you alone? Deep in the forest, there is a magic that permeates the air, if you take the time, to sit quietly and allow the natural sounds of the nature around you to visit with you… the merry sound of meandering water over coloured pebbles is joyful as it slides with ease over the multi faceted rocks and gurgles joyfully as it brushes against and through the water ferns and stalks of vegetation that lines its banks.

Always there is something to discover, Know that all around you, there are eyes watching. You might not see who/what is watching, but…. your presence is not unnoticed.

Start by doing the things you notice.

It is impossible to do two things at once. Let your intuition guide you and start with what you can take on now.

PL2017.16

Stay safe, enjoy your day!

landscapes

Time appears to stand still when you come across a peaceful scene along the river. The gentle curving of the walkway meant that you slow down your pace…. your eyes follow the shoreline, birds are singing happily from somewhere off in the distance. It feels good to have the moment to yourself, The sun is high in the sky, but the surrounding trees are providing dappled shade. This walkway follows the wanderings of the Rideau River…along Riverside Drive (Ottawa)… There has been a lot of construction this summer along Bank Street, (cross street) This could be the reason, but in my exploring the other day, there were very few people enjoying the “park” ..note… the colours are starting to appear. Mother Nature has begun to weave her magic.

When you are not having fun, could it be because you’re being lazy

Sometimes you feel blue or can’t seem to find the joy in doing anything. At times like this, just get up and move your body or work your mind to the fullest extent.

PL2019.10

Ottawa is surrounded by beautiful really beautiful landscapes. An outdoor enthusiast paradise, a photographers dream

haunting

I took this picture the other day…. I have been haunted by the tranquility of the place ever since and will head back there this morning. See that small white dot (bird) off on a branch … not being able to get closer with my cell… I am going back this time with my camera.. not that it will still be there, but.. let me see if I will use the camera. I recharged the battery… I hadn’t used it since 2023! maybe even longer. I am terrible ..if a piece of equipment doesn’t work the way I think it should I put it away… now I have to decide.. if I’m not going to use it.. I should pass it along. omg another decision to make!!!!

It is important to say “thank you”

Everything that appears in front of you is all material for you to improve yourself whether it’s food people or things. Learn to accept everything, whether it is something you like or not.

PL2020.9

Have a good day everyone.

lessons

I try to do lessons every day, I study most nights for at least 2 – 3 hours. I focus on quieting the mind, letting information filter through my gray cells. Some information stays with me, some fades into the night … one of the realities of living on one’s own .. is that how we plan our day/nights is a learning curve on its own. I am blessed with many of you who write blogs, you share your ideas/pictures and allow me a glimpse into the colours and pieces of your lives. AND your thoughts, ideas and your creativity always give me pause to reflect on how multi-faceted the world is.

The last few days have been revealing in a way that I would have preferred not to have lived it, but, it was not to be.. I relearned a valuable lesson..

In PL.. you have all seen my posting the Precept. # 5 One’s self is lost by being emotional. Guess who got caught by scammers…. yup yours truly, I dealt with it… but it was a very loud reminder that I need to look for shortcomings in my own thinking and actions. I reacted to an e-mail I received, and didn’t heed the inner voice that screamed Beware!!! I was lucky I it seems I acted in time to avert a serious breech. Thank you to everyone who helped me through the “crisis.”

Don’t give up? Keep at it until you accomplish what you 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.

PL2014.5

Cheers everyone… be happy,

smiles

Energy springs from your smile

A smile makes you and others cheerful and energetic.

PL2021.4

Sometimes, the day begins and we wonder how we will get through the day… The air and energy around us is heavy with pessimistic vibes, Then someone smiles, a genuine greeting … and you feel the heaviness lift. A smile can work wonders.

Tuesday

Sometimes we have to stop moving around, going out, taking on another project and simply chill

Do you really need to be on your cell as often as you are.

When was the last time you read a book?

In PL, everyday is a new day, a new beginning. PL Precept # 1 Life is Art.

Start by thinking “this is interesting!”

Even when you’re dealing with a difficult situation, it is important to find something interesting about it. From there you will be blessed with wisdom and something new will come out of it.

PL2019.5

Some food for thought! Have a good one everyone! Till soon.

authentic

How authentically do you live your life.

Use dissatisfaction and complaints as a springboard to improvement

If you only complain about something nothing will get better Look for shortcomings in your thinking to come up with creative solutions to your problems

Estava triste (I was unhappy) Sem sabe o que e viver (not knowing what to live for, Nao sabia mais sorrir (I knew not how to smile) Nem valia mais viver (life just wasn’t worthwhile. Sem sabe a que fazer (not knowing what I could do,) Sem saber come quem contar (Not kowing who to trust) (PL Songbook)
