Face the speaker, make eye contact and listen carefully. Listening to people is also a form of expression. Listen with Makoto (sincerity).

Love everyone – I want to be a person who can love, be kind, and forgive anyone without discrimination. When we love ourselves and everyone, “peace and welfare forever” will surely be realized.
lesson 2022.02.15 translated to English in Japan
[Fate (divine work) can be pioneered] There are joys and difficulties in life, and how you express yourself is a turning point in your destiny. If you take this from the bottom of your heart, it will be a mirror and things will get better. To open up your destiny, you have to be grateful for everything that appears before you, and do your best in prayerfully and with all your might.
Think of the timing before you say “but…” When stating your opinion, make sure you are being respectfully of others opinions. Be mindful of this when you speak.
The day started out very mild, in fact balmy. When I stepped outside I could hear the ice melting, there was a gentle rain falling that was very soothing. By the time I got to the birds, you can see that the Blue Jay was wet, it was a rain mixed with fluffy snowflakes.
By the time this picture was taken we were getting ice pellets, the temperature was no longer pleasant.
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 that you can do.

The flash freeze that had been predicted had arrived. I was happy I’d started out early and that all the feeders were stocked. Nothing is a bother/problem when we are prepared.
Good morning, to see Dan’s photo without the black tab, please visit his Instagram where you can enjoy his many captures of wildlife.. and his beautiful shots of nature. https://www.instagram.com/dancadphotography/
This female Grosbeak is the only one I have personally seen this winter. Last winter we had so many of her “family /relatives” it was an amazing winter to spend time with them and watch their antics. This year she has been on her own. Thank you Daniel for this wonderful picture of her. Your patience was rewarded, and I’m delighted to be able to show her off to our readers.
His top picture was one I copied (with his permission) some time ago, I was having a difficult time with “grief” and a bit of “loneliness”.. This winter for some reason, even tho’ it will going on 4 years this spring, since my husband passed – I have had a few bouts of what I call “tortured anguish”. I found Dan’s picture (the top one) made me feel “peaceful” it helped me to touch deep within me.. I allowed my mind to focus on the softness and the gentle spirit that he captured when he took the photo.
I’ve seen him standing stock still in minus degree temperatures.. for long stretches at a time, he actually seems to become part of the landscape.. I’d come up to my feeders and not even realize that he was there, he would be so quiet and still. In meditation and prayer I have been known to sit in stillness lost in the moment of NOW. I’ve meditated/prayed in Grand Central Station, it is a quiet that takes time to master, but once we find that “state of Being” it is one we cherish. However we all know, it isn’t always easy to “BE” we can’t just flick a switch and we’re there.
You can be with God by having a prayerful mind. Let’s pray for World Peace. We are all one big family. Let’s start by praying for the happiness of those around us.
Think “Now is the time” Instead of “it’s no use now” Don’t give up by thinking it’s too late. Tell yourself that there is more that can be done.

I just love the way Num captured his/her face… I think the eyes have so much going for them! If only we could live, accept and move on like they do. Life IS.
You know its a good day when the snow plow is following you. =^_^= Yes, I still make the trek out to the country. Weather is not a deterrent. In fact, it makes for a new canvas and offers the opportunity of a different experience.
Today was a brilliant blue sky …. another awesome day!
look familiar – perhaps its something you’ve experienced
You go out for an evening of relaxation and somewhere along the way… things change.. you may not even know why or what caused the “disconnect”.
Everything that happens to you is material for growth. Approach everything with firm belief that, “it will tur out for the best.” Anything can be used as material for progress and development.

There will always be a way. If you persist and be creative without giving up, you will find solutions that you had not considered before.
There are days when you just know you made the right decision to go out. Today was such a day. I was headed out to a rural setting, the road wasn’t plowed but a few cars had already been down the dead end road… the snow was light… skies were overcast and gray… It was quiet. Very quiet. loved it….
Take action without thinking too hard. No matter how hard you try to foresee the future, you really don’t now how things will turn out. Do your best and see how it plays out.
