Day of Peace

May 1st. in PL we celebrate the 1st of each month with a Day of Peace ceremony. We pray for World Peace and renew our dedication to live as peaceful human beings in our own worlds. Today was also my Mother’s birthday, I will do a special prayer in her memory, and include all my family and friends who have shared part of my journey with me. Love in one’s life is what brings contentment.

Always remember that world peace is everything. If each and every one of us prays for World Peace, we can make it a reality. Let’s keep this in mind as we live each day. PL2015.1

I am blessed to have kind thoughtful people in my life, I appreciate each and every one. Life’s journey would be bleak and bare if we can’t share. Thank YOU all for being part of the world I live in.

Begin today with a smile, spring is bringing new growth, new hope, the buds will open, a new season has begun. We are all ONE under the moon/sun.

Be very careful about doing things you really like. do everything in moderation. When you overdo, you’ll lose your balance. (PL 2021.26)

PL Precept #20 Live maintaining equilibrium between mind and matter

fyi., with the arrival of spring, I have been able to clear a small area, when if you can’t get around the trail anymore, but want to visit with the wee ones, there is a small clearing for you to open a small folding chair and enjoy a quiet time not far from the parking lot. (be aware that in a few weeks the mosquitos will be out!)

Hanging with the red wing blackbird the other day was a bird the same size, coloring EXCEPT instead of red on the wing it was a canary yellow? Anyone?

Put your heart into your words. Do you tend to speak in just a matter of fact tone? It is important to put your heart into your words. PL 2022.19

When you face difficulties start with anything you can do. When you are able to grasp the situation, you will surely be able to notice something you can do,

Sometimes in life we have to step back, and let the world stand still .. allow new possibilities to present themselves.

jeudi

Doorways, entrances, there is always a certain intrigue ..sometimes more obvious than others. Even at night, we are drawn to buildings because of an entrance/doorway. Some can be very deceiving, impressive and exciting on the outside, but uninviting once inside. Other doors or functional, strong and commanding, while inside there is calm and serenity.

Today I have combined the Thursday Door challenge that I participate in, and pictures of two of the Perfect Liberty churches. the streamline one on the left, is the PL Church in Hawaii, the bottom right is the Ottawa church, standing in front of the main entrance are, Rev Hiroki Matsuki and his wife, Yoshiko.

Reminder today is Ancestors Day, there will be a 10 a.m ceremony, if unable to attend, please take a moment for a short prayer mid morning if you can.

Today’s quote

Give thanks to your ancestors and to your parents. You exist today thanks to your ancestors and parents. Express your appreciation by devoting yourself for the sake of others and society. (PL 2015.11)

Note* In today’s prayers, make time to remember “All” who have touched your life in some way, been there for you, travelled some of your journey. Some may have been strangers, you met and never saw again, but the meeting left a lasting impression. Could be a voice at the other end of line, who when you needed kindness, was there for you. Gratitude and Appreciation are gifts we not only extend to others, but benefit our own lives.

Today being Thursday, as always if you want more doors, please visit Dan’s No Facilities site and enjoy the trip around the world enjoying the doors shared by other door bloggers. https://nofacilities.com/2024/04/11/alumni-doors/

Cheers everyone!

Enjoy, shared from the heart

Treasure each moment in time. Life is a continuation of “now”. Treasure each and every moment as it comes, so that you can live your life as fully as possible without regrets.

art of silence

The shortcut to progress is to listen with a humble mind. If you are stuck in your own ways you will eventually become bogged down. Let’s remember to be humble, learning what we can from the knowledge, advice and suggestions of others.
Perfect Liberty 2016.24

Strong emotions can be the cause of various troubles. Strive to maintain a calm state of mind.

PL Precept #2 To live is to express One’s Self.

Visiting with friends, I was looking for a picture to show them of a mutual friend, I had to go back through pictures posted many many years ago. Look what surfaced.. pictures of the days w hen I worked with a product called Powertex (that is a demo piece I did to advertise classes).. I combined the Powertex with another product, Apoxie Sculpt to do “garden/outdoor sculptures”. Interesting how something that was such a passion at one time, is now only a memory.
