bonjour!
——————– doors found in Australia——————-
I am an avid explorer in the virtual world always searching out good locations to film/do photo shoot in, I was sent a site location yesterday by a fellow photographer from France.
I’d like to show you my experience while touring the site he sent me, I took the solo flight. It was an amazing journey through space, the artists who created this experience were spot on.. It is a meditation in itself.
in the bottom picture you can see me floating through space. It is a location I will go back to when I have more time, It was an unexpected delight. Anyone interested in taking the “trip” can connect with me and I’ll send you the LM (coordinates)
If you are wanting to visit all the doors that will be featured in today’s Thursday Doors, this is the link to Dan’s No Facilities site. https://nofacilities.com/2025/02/27/doors-to-and-from-errands/
PL Precept #18 Each moment is a turning point.

Where there is a will, there is a way!
Have you ever realized that you knew someone for years, and yet, in reality you didn’t know them at all.. Even tho’ that person lived in the same house, ate meals with you, shared quality moments with you (which at the time, you had no idea that the moment would have a lasting impression)… The age difference and the dynamics in the “family” setting were such that this (in your world at the time) was just someone you had to interact with … Many years later, and only after decades of living your own life did the realization of just what part that person played in the many complex pieces of your psyche … did you have an A-HA! moment. Sad really, he of course is long gone, but the replay of the moments you shared with him, are still very fresh in your mind,
It is like standing on the edge of a cliff, after trudging through a field of snow and finding that just below you there is the Atlantic ocean pounding into the rocky shoreline below.. you had not seen in from the road, but you had heard it. Leaving the car, you trudged through knee high snow and over landscape uneven and sculpted with unknown shapes towards the sound… It was fun, you were young, the adventure was a natural high. The sound of the ocean’s relentless pounding a call you couldn’t resist.
But the sudden abrupt end of the hike stops you short,, the drop is too far down, however the view, the moment is breathtaking. One you know you will never forget.
These two past experiences have stayed with me, both etched into my memory cells. Why, I have no idea, but I realized recently that the sum total of Me are the many moments I’ve accumulated in my life time. We just don’t know or realize how each moment we live will affect us, or come back to mirror for us, something we are living NOW.
My father did his best to impress on me the importance of being in the present and paying attention to NOW. I didn’t appreciate it at the time, but I certainly have grown to realize just how valuable that lesson was. I was asked the other day,” if something happens to you, and a decision has to be made about the care/treatment you would want, what do you want?” there was no hesitation on my part, keep me from pain and just let me go. I have been blessed with having lived a 10001 lifetimes and more … I’ve known, and lived love, heartbreak, loss, and now I know contentment.
The world has become a very negative and unfamiliar place, threats, counter threats, fighting, only in the quiet of the woodlands do I find an ambiance of peace/serenity
It is my prayer/hope for this new year that there will be more peace to be found for everyone.
Discover each person’s unique qualities
When we approach people with respect, we can understand them better and see their special qualities.

you cannot take back moments lived

It is not fun to be stuck in one place. Instead of being captured by what’s in front of you, strive to broaden your horizons. (PL2022.28)
I spent time with a small fierce falcon yesterday. He/she and I had a staring contest, he could have been as curious as I was. My cell phone capture the bird enough so a friend could identify it. I am using a picture found on the internet.
The Merlin is a small species of falcon from the Northern Hemisphere . Bird of Prey it is fast and goes after song birds and shorebirds. Falco columbarius

With the start of the new year, I was cleaning out files, and found this advert for when I was working with a product called Powertex, and giving demos .. so other “artists” could learn about the product. These were garden sculptures I had done over time to demonstrate its capabilities. The one piece lasted outside in our Canadian winters for over 10 years. (bottom right) In the end it was the center piece for climbing vines.
Change, the only constant in life.. is change.
Begin each day with a renewed sense of appreciation
Always remember that you are here today thanks to God, and thanks to the many people around you. Let’s make each day meaningful by starting out with a feeling of gratitude.
Dress warmly. enjoy your day!!

Powertex was a great product for me to work with, I used it with Paverpol, (face upper left corner) I lean towards mix media expressions.

Good relationships begin by greeting each other.
Acts of respect and courtesy are reflections of how much we value others. Make it a point to be the first to greet your family, people at work and around the neighbourhood.
The dragon is stirring.. he’s beginning to wake. Won’t be long now before his roar is heard all across the galaxy… slowly his body will slither with a purpose .. he’ll be heading your way… carrying a cornucopia of wishes from the heavens…. to sprinkle star dust particles of happiness, glad tidings, good health and prosperity over all the land.

If you are going to do something, choose to do it with joy and enthusiasm. By doing so, you will experience a deeper sense of beauty.
Silence is a practice
Silence reduces stress
Silence is a gift we give ourselves
Silence brings us to the here and now
This can be a busy time of year to many. The environment around us can be hectic, loud and forever in a state of motion. It is a time of year that people can find themselves struggling to keep pace with what is happening around them.
Pause, take a step back, stop rushing around, it is a time for quiet reflection… soon the new year will be here. Look at what is important to YOU. If you are going to do something, choose to do it with joy and enthusiasm. By doing so, you will experience a deeper sense of beauty,

Wednesday
Always remember to be thankful and humble – everything we have today was built upon the hard work of our ancestors and the people who came before us. We are here today because the “torch of life” has been continuously passed down.
You create your reality when you begin each day in meditation/prayer
Every experience is a journey and brings awareness.
Have a good day everyone! till soon.

Bom dia
You gain strength through your hardships
Whatever you learn easily or master effortlessly tends to be forgotten The lessons you gain through repeated mistakes are what gives you genuine strength. Don’t give up until the very end or you may miss out on the outcome. Think outside the box, and there surely will be another day.
