Fresh fallen snow, always gives a picture of “new beginnings” – maybe not the best weather to drive in, but so beautiful visually – I am so blessed to have this vista within a short drive from where I live. When I arrived this morning (when picture was taken) the birds were so happy to see I had not been deterred from visiting. No chipmunks turned up, but the little brown and red squirrels bounced through the wet snow to come greet me. What a sight when breakfast was served, the blue jays were first to arrive with their loud enthusiastic cheers they sent calls out to all their ‘buddies”

New beginnings. The Ottawa church of PL (Perfect Liberty) has begun a new chapter, Please join us this Sunday to meet the new minister Rev Hiroki Matuski and his lovely wife Yoshiko. Hirok Sensi and Yoshiko look forward to meeting you. There will be coffee/tea (light refreshment) after the Gathering Service.

When taking on a task, start fresh without being biased or jumping to conclusions. When your thinking is too rigid you will be unable to deal with ideas in a flexible and constructive way, Always strive to look at thing with a fresh mind.

Everything that happens to you is material for growth Approach everything with firm belief that, “it will turn out for the best.” Anything can be used as material for progress and development.

Mother Nature hit her funny bone, Our new minister and his wife arrived from Japan the last week in March. Canada can have “interesting” winters, this last one for us was on the mild side, with less snow than we have had in years.. So guess what was dropped on us yesterday and into today. Some areas have received more snow than others. And add to the mix, the temperature has been dropping, today will be colder than yesterday. This is all ok for seasoned Canadians.. imagine the joy of experiencing this cold blustery weather hiccup .. if you are new…and didn’t come with a winter wardrobe.

A fresh snow fall is refreshing and beautiful. When we are going through one of our very hot humid summer days, we can recall the invigorating freshness of a blast of winter. Love living in a country with 4 distinct seasons!!

my attempt at wood burning… on the left is a sculpture in mixed media (garden elf) done for the outside,

Face each moment, each place with a fresh outlook. If you handle a situation with preconceived notions or prejudices, your judgement will be clouded. Take on each situation with a blank slate, as if seeing it for the first time.

The elf lasted almost 20 years outdoors in the elements, the wood burning barn, I have no idea where it is now. Life is…

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.

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

Applaud the Makoto of others. When you encounter good faith or kindness’ in others, make sure that you acknowledge it fully. This will make both you and them happy. (Makoto, One’s utmost sincerity) PL2016.23

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.

Tune in

Be in tune with the feelings of others. Let’s start by trying to understand other peoples’ feelings.
