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?

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.

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.

Tuesday

Have a prayerful mind to love yourself and others.

Open up your heart fully when praying to God. It will help you sort out your feelings.

PL2022.31

Living with cats has been a new adventure for me. Even tho’ I had cats for years in a bygone day… the most recent companions over the many years (more recently) were canine. Big difference. The cats and I have had to adjust … them to an eccentric eclectic human (they were rescues) and I… well… good thing they are patient..

Tomorrow we start another month. It is also the 1st, there will be a 10 a.m. service at church.. See you there if you can make it.
