Sometimes looking out into the distance, I wonder what it would be like to simply be able to point and magically transport myself to the top of the mountain, and look down. I see the snow .. it looks so pure so pristine…

I have had friends who recently went on retreats, silence, meditation, they had to leave their electronic gadgets … there was no writing paper, no reading…. just… time…. and quiet reflection.

The world is such a vast and interesting place… and the people who inhabit the various corners of the world are diverse … does today’s technology make for a better improved world, or… is it causing unrest and strife.

Cold!

Cold you say! Here is a brave young man testing the cold.. He took a soaking wet towel and swung it in the air …in a few minutes.. hello… frozen towel… the last picture, his big success, was putting a banana out in the cold, leaving it out overnight till it froze… then using the frozen banana, he hammered that nail you see into the board. Who says we don’t know how to have fun in cold weather.!!!

Good morning everyone, yes we had a cold snap, a very cold one.. but temperatures have been more reasonable the last few days and the sun has been brilliant high above, bathing the world in wonderful sunshine.

Here we are the 3rd day of February, the heart month, Feb. 14th is Valentine’s day … Feb. 17, is the Chinese lunar new year… (Horse) … AND… you will find Mardi Gras celebrations happening mid month as well….Lots to do, hope you are able to get out, in Ottawa, Winterlude is happening, ice sculptures, skating on the canal, beavertails, exhibits, snow slides, snow shoeing, X-country skiing… performances, live entertainment, tobogganing… just too many activities to list.. Guaranteed winter fun,

Instead of worrying, do something about it

It doesn’t help to over-think situations such as, “what if this happens?” or, “Things might end up that way”. Instead be proactive and change how you see and do things in each situation.

Some times a picture = a thousand words.

Snow can turn a world into a wonderland

No one an take away the joy you get from putting your whole heart into something.

The joy you feel when you’ve put your all into something is yours and yours alone. Nobody can take that away from you.

In the forest deep – it is thought I sleep

but if honesty is the order of the day

then I must confess to always be at play

for I have been here so long and my roots run so deep

that while I look like I am standing still

every molecule of my being is alive and unafraid

of whatever mischief I can display,

For living is an art I have honed well

See if you can look away

when I deign to display

my perfect blending into the landscape today.

Oh and by the way

Life is art is PL Precept #1

wanna come play

you can be the sun, I will be the moon

together we will make it a perfect day.

If you are going to do it…… Put your whole heart into it.

Your degree of seriousness will affect the outcome. Your daily accumulation of effort towards your goals shows just how serious you are.

Your words are windows to your heart
