I will live with a mind of appreciation towards others and things.

PL Principle # 2

expressions
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,

I see personalities in each tree I meet. Depending on the time of day, where the sun is, how the shadows play on their textured bark…I’ve never come across a tree that I haven’t liked. Humans are the same. =^_^= some are easier to spend time with then others…. but everyone has the potential of being someone you can learn from, share with, and yes, even be friends with.
Learn to be a person who welcomes change, appreciate the journey you’ve been on. Life is to be lived.
Love is the elixir of life.

wood
There is something about the evolution of a tree, and what we have learned about how it grows, the different types of wood, hardness, texture, colour. I am captivated when I walk into a workshop where wood is being worked on/with. I love the many shapes, forms and characteristics of the different species.
In Wakefield the other day, the wood workers shop was not open when we went, but I got to explore his outdoor work space. Wood everywhere, it was a mini paradise.
I know that pictures are not the same as being there, but I’m sure for those of you who love this kind of “setting” as much I do… you can almost smell the wooden wonder of the place. In the back of this property is a babbling brook. YES I not only got a visual “high” I had the ambience of the running water and clear blue skies. YuppeeDoooo!!!!
We all have different ways of feeling and thinking. Let’s always accept others differences and respect one another. Remember that “different strokes for different folks” is the key to having harmonious relationships with the people around us.

Today November 11 is also Remembrance Day in Canada, fitting that for us, in PL, it is Ancestors’ Day.
garden at night
Just when I thought I had all the leaves… I noticed tonight when I let the dogs out.. that “oh NO! more leaves to fall”! How on earth did I not see them the other day… Goes to show me that I am not as observant as I think I am! This little corner got completely missed.
I must admit tho’ that I found the little vignette rather pretty. I even came back into the house to collect my camera.
Always there is a positive to be found ! Note to self, bring in my garden “keepers” for the winter. =^_^=
Be thankful to your parents and to your Ancestors. You are here today because the “torch of life” has been continuously passed down. Always remember to be thankful.

Saturday 7th
Today I am a tree, I stand here before you for all to see
My years of standing in one place has meant that I have a lot of memories
of what was, and can ponder on what will be
I know that as the seasons come and go, my history
is in plain view for all to see
my wounds have healed, and many of my arms have been broken
or been taken from me, yet I am patient for I know
that with the passing of time I will return to the earth/ Universe
Meanwhile, I will stand and wait for someone to notice me
I was strong and beautiful in my youth, my outer body is now
textured, my open wounds portraits of my many experiences
I salute you dear friend as you pass by and give thanks
that you did come by to spend time in my garden, my patch on this Universe.
May many blessings of the day shower your life with joy and happiness
Please come again, there may be less of my physical self,
but, always, my spirit will be here to greet you.
