Barred owl

It was very humbling yesterday to realize that the owl was comfortable with my presence at the base of his tree. The chickadees were singing and going back and forth between us. It was really unreal, I was totally mesmerized by it all. He watched me walk away to give the jays their peanuts… the doves, and woodpeckers were happy to get on with breakfast…. He just watched us and seemed content to be part of the morning activities. It ended when a couple of birdwatchers drove up and we got into human conversation. He spread his wings and took off. He was magnificent.

This was was my third encounter with him. Every meeting has been one that seems contrived. Fanciful thinking on my part, maybe… but the encounters are treasured! When he spread his wings he was so majestic.

Your smile energizes the people around you.

A smile has the ability to put others at ease and give them energy. Strive to be the first to offer a smile each day to those around you

honesty

If you are cheerful, it will make everyone around you cheerful. Cheerful and happy people attract others. Always smile and have a pleasant attitude,.

In the beginning love holds so much promise. It takes work and dedication for a relationship to flourish. The everyday things you do will show when it really counts. It doesn’t help to over think situations … be proactive and change how you see and do things in each situation.

Be true to yourself. but be aware of how others feel, be open to listening to another’s thoughts…. be willing to discuss, and consider all options.

PL Precept #7 Everything exists in relativity.

Feelings

Feelings are much like waves, we can’t stop them from coming, but, we can choose which ones to surf

Always live with hope in your heart.

With a clear image in mind, move forward with enthusiasm. Your dreams will surely come true with perseverance.

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.

Enjoy your day everyone! Till soon.

Sunday

Season’s come and go.. yesterday the rose garden got pruned, while we* are snow bound some parts of the world are experiencing a different environment.

Multitasking reduces your joy by half

When doing something, give it your all. There is joy in everything.

Pileated

Pileated Woodpecker .. got to spend a quick moment with one yesterday morning. We startled each other, altho’ he/she was greeting me with a knock, knock, knock inches away from me. We came face to face (he/she was at my face level)

Male on the left – female on the right. I will post a link at the end of this post if you want to know more about this beautiful bird. It is about the size of a crow. (they mate for life)

A single moment is a life time

Be grateful for everything. If you see everything as material to express gratitude, you can encounter a number of opportunities to be grateful for.

Understand Impermanence
