Time.1

Hello this is a picture taken in NZ the other day, it is going into fall there.

I’m waking up here to a spring day… here in Eastern Canada.

Same week .. same world, but in very different parts of the planet.

Shirl went for her walk at home in NZ and I had my stroll here in Canada.

Isn’t life grand… Think about it, Eliza is starting to share her photos of her spring flowers ..(excellent moments of shared beauty) she is in the States…

We are so lucky/blessed that the technology we have today, allows us to experience “visual” gifts that before .. we would have had to wait days, weeks, even a month, for our friend to take a picture, have it developed, then get it ready to post… Once posted that letter would take days, weeks to travel to your mailbox.

There is much we have to be thankful, let’s remember to give thanks…

Appreciate your friendships… they are part of your personal treasure chest.

We are all here today… we may not be tomorrow.. This is life..

time

Time moves on – nothing really stands still

Think about it, even when you stop physically moving, and you sit down… your internal organs, your heart, the blood racing through your veins… It is constantly humming along…. your breathing will slow down, your whole essence of Being will slow and calm..

Let’s not even bring up your gray cells, that intangible “thing” science has called our brain … it doesn’t consider the word time..

We simply are... we seem to accept that our computers, cell phones, iPads.. need recharging, need extra storage, Pause reflect.. our bodies/minds need attention and care… When was the last time you did a personal update? clear your cache? get rid of obsolete unused and no longer required items/thoughts?

There is something captivating about seeing the trees shake off the winter pallor and begin their transformation — soon tiny buds will adorn the waking branches… you can feel the anticipation in the cool crisp morning air.

Monday

sanctuary

When I need to regroup, find my balance, my calm… this is where I go.. the quiet, the bliss.. ahhhhh

Geese flying overhead, their honking a reminder that spring has arrived. the tapping of one of the resident woodpecker drumming out his determined search for food. All wrapped around me surrounding me in the comforting embrace of nature’s embrace. I’d come home!

I felt strong enough to venture down the trail, it was a beautiful day, still early enough that I had the whole acreage to myself.

PL Precept #18 Each moment is a turning point.

For many weeks I have been sidelined by a “health issues” that kept me away, it was so therapeutic to once more be under clear blue skies, my feet walking along the well worn path. Nature is healing. It is gift that we so often overlook and take for granted.

Have a good start to the week everyone!

Saturday

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder (turkey vulture soaring gracefully across the sky)

Basic Description (alicia ambers/Macaulay Library)

If you’ve gone looking for raptors on a clear day, your heart has probably leaped at the sight of a large, soaring bird in the distance– perhaps an eagle or osprey. But if it’s soaring with its wings raised in a V and making wobbly circles, it’s likely a Turkey Vulture. These birds ride thermals in the sky and use their keen sense of smell to find fresh carcasses. They are a consummate scavenger, cleaning up the countryside one bite of their sharply hooked bill at a time, and never mussing a feather on their bald heads.

I am guilty of enjoying watching these birds soar across the sky .. for some reason, I just love the way they ride what to me is invisible, but … to them… its freedom. They are graceful in the air. (to me anyway)

We all have our own way of seeing the world. One of the reasons I take to the open road when I need to unwind, is in hopes of catching a vulture in flight. I am in a metal box on wheels, comfortable it may be… I simply can’t launch myself into the air and fly.

PL Precept #7 Everything exists in relativity

In French there is an expression, (to each his own)… what do you do to unwind?

Is there anyone else out there who loves watching the vulture fly?

Have a good day today!

Saturday

a little hide-a-way

tucked far away

a distance from any super highway

an idyllic get-a-way

where I watch the sheep rest & play

and lazily let the days

drift from April to May.

I am sooooo ready.

PL 2022.18

Help the people around you smile more

Always strive to make those around you smile. That will bring you joy too.

Tuesday

Another day beings

A season ends

Spring season will bring new possibilities

There will be new trails, and roads to travel

This moment will never come again, don’t squander it.

Friday

Sometimes we have to make decisions that we would rather not make. We put off doing something because it is not a easy decision to make. We think about what is bothering us, we dissect it, we review all the options, we consider the number of years we have been involved with the people/organization that is part of the equation. In the end, we have to gather all the pertinent information and review it carefully.

PL Principle #1 I will live paying careful attention, putting Makoto into all I say and do,

PL Principle #2 I will not have complaints about others, matters, nor the weather. Rather I will always be creative and will look for shortcomings in my own thinking and actions.

I have been very upset about something that is happening in an environment that I am involved with/in. So upset that I realized that I was not only upset, I was/ am feeling used. In reviewing the circumstances, I didn’t feel that I was personally being abused or mistreated by the situation, but never the less the “anger” in me was/is very real…. so saying, I decided that to make a proper decision, I needed to confront, and be honest and open about my feelings and why I was /or am ready to disassociate myself with the situation.

PL Principle # 6 I will not be stubborn, being captured by my own thoughts.

So I have made arrangements to listen to the “other side” with an open mind…. and then from there I will review my “headspace” again.

Meanwhile I am taking a step back, and will listen to the silence for awhile.

How is your day ? I wish for you a happy and positive week-end.
