Wordless Wednesday
Oyashikiri

I came, and went, laughed, cried, blossomed and flew away.
You missed that moment, didn’t you?
A moment comes, and vanishes, within seconds,
true intentions come from the heart
no day is like another
a moment lost in anger
is time not lived in happiness
with winter comes a calming bliss
purity and stillness
no matter the chaos around us
when we are present in every way
a moment is never missed
life is what we make of it
choices we make,
be happy today, make it a special day
why, because you can!

mixed media -Q

Good morning everyone, bom dia a todos..
Trying something new, with a new medium, I just wasn’t getting it. At least not with the results I wanted. Mostly I would get it out late in the evening ,just before going to bed, and have another go at it.
Last night, with time to spare, I organized the different medium I wanted, and used a different method of application. Voila the look I wanted, 1,2,3, the card was done.
PL Calendar day 7 – Don’t strain, don’t rush, and don’t be greedy
When you are doing something you may rush things to get good results, quickly . Instead relax and enjoy the process.
Blessings of the day dearest friends.

A window that captures a moment in time
a moment long-lived, yet, now lost in time
Took a trip to Ireland, for this moment to happen
that was yesterday, this is today.
Today, when I saw the colours, I thought of Brazil
two places I have never been
Life is “funny” that way
in an instant we can travel the globe
never leaving home,
why, because home is where your heart is.
mine is alive and well, still beating strong,
the window is till in Ireland,
the moment has passed
but the thoughtful moment of inspiration,
a gift, long to be remembered
Q
past, present, they are all the same, to live in the now, we gather it all, so that today will be an even better day, for one and all. You are truly loved, now and always.
PL Precept # 10 Love yourself and Others
Oyashikiri

somewhere, sometime, a different scene played out around these doors, the pump was busy every now and then, and a traveller would stop and sit a spell
how you doing, nice day isn’t it,
going far, what else can I do for you?
now we drive up and wait in line for a self-serve pump
pay the pump with a plastic card, put the gas in ourselves,
and drive away, not a word is spoken. no one cares.
social niceties, and genuine customer service
if it could be seen , would look like the picture above.
still there, however not appreciated, just a memory
of another time and place
Q
PL Precept # 7 Everything exists in relativity
ancestors Day ceremony on the 11th (Tuesday) 10 am)

Here we go. Tim Horton’s in Ireland. No more can we say, “only in Canada” the world has changed so much over the years. What hasn’t changed is the bond of friendship that is ongoing, and is built and groomed with unconditional love. Acceptance, and respect.
Yesterday in PL, being the first of the month, we celebrated with the PL service of Peace. Every month, on the 1st day of the month. at 10 a.m. all over the world where there is a church, or a member of PL, time is made to pray for world peace. Through the service at the church we pray for World Peace and rededicate ourselves to live as a peaceful human being, in our own worlds, which includes, our home, school, work and communities.
When we love with makoto “sincerity” and dedication of purpose, we are blessed with love in our lives that continues to shine, forever and always. It is not measured in earthly ways, days, months, years, it is, simply life itself. Like breathing in and out. we don’t count how often we breathe in and out during our days and nights, we just Breathe …. Love should be in our action, words and hearts. Always.
Life is Art. PL Precept #1
Harmony leads to world peace

Well,well,well…
Bom dia, feliz sexta feira, happy Friday everyone.
What is with the well, well, well… my reaction to a news story this morning, where one police officer shot another officer. Well, well, well, really, I can’t go beyond my reaction. It is stunner, perhaps because in my past law enforcement was part of my life, I don’t know. I have been away from this field for too many year, to know what the climate is like these days. This is life isn’t it, we are calmly going about our daily business, when out of the blue, you hear something, or see something, that startles, or gives you cause for pause.
Life is happening all around us, some we hear about,, some we don’t, other times, it is right before us, and we never see it, or know that it is happening. But it is. A reminder that we don’t know what is around that corner, we know NOW. For myself, I know that I have to focus more on the now, be focused/aware, it is a fine art, and one that needs practicing every day.
PL calendar day 30 Use your results to make the next time even better
Whether things turn out perfectly or not, the important thing is to take what you’ve learned and apply it the net time.

ps. my sister did the above artwork, I had not seen it before, it was one of her first attempts at working with a new medium. It is so colourful and joyful. It is giving me a smile, hope you catch it and pass it on. *wink.* Smile everyone, it is Friday.
Bom dia, Greetings, through the open door the day beckons. Not a day to stay inside, time to explore once more.

Looking out at animals calmly enjoying their time in the pasture.
Their only thought is to BE.
Not feeling 100% I took to my bed early, I thought I would listen to my body, and simply lie down.
Life has a way of getting in the way.
PL calendar day 27
Put all of your effort into the NOW.
You can only do your absolute best right this moment; not in the past, not in the future, but NOW

Bom dia dear friends, Greetings.. and blessings.

Sometimes when I need to remember a destination that still evokes the spirit of open country, freedom to roam, with an abundance of natural landscapes, I dig out my trips to Ompah. We would find what some would call a road, but in fact would be perhaps a skidoo trail sitting idle till the winter season descended allowing the snow vehicles to travel into the inviting dense woodlands. We ruined many a muffler till we got the truck. Such were our wanderings. The winter season would not call us back, the snow machines are too noisy. Although I’m sure that had the mood struck, we would have unearthed our snowshoes and tramped our way somewhere into the waiting arms of Mother Nature.
That is the advantage of the snow machines, they traverse land that is unseen during the spring, summer and fall months. There is a season for everyone. It is finding that bit of paradise. Each and every one of us, will describe our personal wonderland with a reverent awe, yet to another, they can’t imagine it at all.

PL Calendar day 26 Maintain a positive attitude and wisdom will come to you
Worrying will prevent you from having good ideas. Stay positive and you will find a solution.
