Pileated woodpecker

Pileated woodpecker

View this post on Instagram

I was humbled and totally captured by this beautiful bird yesterday. He surprised me by appearing beside me, and I mean beside me… looked me right in the eyes, and actually stayed there long enough for me to re cover my shock at having him so close to me and my face. I was putting out seed along a fallen log for the other birds… he was an arm’s reach from me … we were face to face…

My only thought was … this must be the bird that hung around with me a year or so ago.. he would come and visit, then fly off and I’d hear his knocking…. loud knock knock knock.. on the various trees around.. He hung around maybe a week or two and then he was gone… I’d hear him, but never see him …. He left an impression… but with time.. the moments faded… so much else is happening in the world.

Yesterday when I saw him… the fact that he was so close to me, and stayed close enough to connect with me, brought back that first encounter… I had never seen a pileated up close .. ever… I was used to the Downy and the Hairy fluttering around waiting for the food to be put out… but never had I seen the pileated. What a majestic bird.

I was too taken aback and “in the moment” that getting a picture was just not even in my head. All I could do was look back at him … I might even have gasped… then he flew off calling as he went.

This morning I found the clip by Francois Potvin… I’m sharing it with you. Enjoy.

Life is an adventure. Every moment is a lifetime.

PL Precept #18 Each moment is a turning point

PL Precept # 7 Everything exists in relativity

You all know my love of the crow and the ravens… but this one bird, man … he has stolen my heart big time.

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.

dreaming

Snow has been falling for hours. Temperatures have dropped significantly. The milder weather of last week, with thawing and rain means that now… walking will be dangerous for all who walk without care. Why? because, the snow is so white, inviting, the wind has died down enough that there is no blowing snow to blind you when it whips around your face. the lovely light fluffy snow is hiding black ice in places where previously there had been a puddle or any irregular dips, cracks in the sidewalks.

I’m dreaming of strolling through landscapes of gentle meandering walkways through manicured gardens with interesting buildings to enjoy. If you saw the virtual blog with the Taoist build, you might enjoy exploring this site.. After seeing yesterday’s blog a friend sent me the link to this beautiful location. Here is the link. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Cozy%20Cove/188/98/24 Note this is an adult sim. It is called Koromo a Tsukete Ageta, Cosy Cove.

The link to the Peng Lai blog is on the virtual site. https://virtualnws8.ca/2026/01/17/peng-lai/

You will feel better when you take immediate action

Things have a way of getting more complicated when you procrastinate. Work on taking immediate action and you will discover many ways to tackle the situation.
