Doors – wood

I was inspired today by Dan’s post on the beautiful wooden door he made out of a piece of wood he found at a wood working show. Back many years ago, I discovered I had a passion for wood, and carving, A friend was an excellent carver, he would carve something out of pieces of wood he would find, it was inspiring that he could bring the wood to life. To my surprise I’ve since learned that he no longer has a passion for the craft. But the love of the craft for me has lived on.

The love of wood has stayed with me over the years, whenever I travel I look for exotic or different kinds of wood … I’m totally fascinated by what nature does on her own with the never ending displays she puts on with the trees, their form, the way the bark can take on a life of its own, how the elements bend and shape the landscape… and doors are part of that passion. Wooden doors. I found the door you see above on one of my travels.. I wanted to bring it home, sand it down and carve it. I had no way of getting it home, I no longer had my truck. By the time it would take me to find a way to transport it, and find my way back to the location where the door was… it was a dream.. I kept the picture.. “in case”

Dan I’m green with envy you got to work with that piece of wood. I love the smell of the wood when we work on it. In fact, after I finish this little blog, I’m going to go in search of my tools. I still have a couple of pieces I bought many moons ago in a small village when I searched out exotic woods for my friend to carve. Funny I never wanted to let them go.. I just moved them from one storage place to another, always in my “office/studio”

Your door has reopened one for me… That is what doors are all about… can you see how beautiful that door would have been had it had some love and attention.

To see Dan’s work of art, please visit his site, and take the opportunity to visit all the other doors that will be showcased today from all over..https://nofacilities.com/2024/11/14/one-door-one-doorway/

Expecting too much leads to dissatisfaction

When you expect things to go exactly as you’ve planned, it limits your creative expression. Always be mindful of others and remember that they have their own way of thinking and doing things, too. ^(PL2017.12)

Live in the moment

Whether you are walking, having a conversation, or having a good time, it is important to be fully engaged. Remember to live in the “now”. ^(PL2017.10)

A forever moment is one you will never forget.

When we let go of “ego” and surrender to simply “being” in the moment, we are blessed with the awesome experience of a moment in time that is sublime.

May you walk in sunshine this day, be happy!

Don’t give up!

Keep at it until you accomplish what you’ve started

The key to achieving something is to stick to it, If you are able to continue something from start to finish, you will be sure to accomplish it no matter how difficult the task is. (PL2014.5)

I drove to Toronto yesterday. I have never in all my years driven to Toronto on my own, NEVER. I have been there many times, even lived there years ago. But either I was with someone, or I took a bus, train, even plane, but never have I driven there.. it is a 5 plus hour drive, and Toronto is a BIG action packed city. Cars everywhere and going at amazing speeds… highways beside highways, criss-crossing , man, I was to overcome with the magnitude of my situation to even think about it, I just had to live it.

Sometimes we just need to live it. My trips to Japan, and my memories of the Chinatowns I’ve been in over the years had me wanting to be in a milieu that was “Asian”… In Toronto there are huge communities, marketplaces, shops, restaurants that have that “familiar” vibe. My “draw back” was I didn’t take into consideration the time change factor, the month, days are shorter, etc. I had rendez-vos at the start of the day so didn’t leave Ottawa till almost 9 and Toronto is a good 5 hour drive.

AND I had a place to be (which required me to be back home) for 8 pm. Let me tell you, I got to have many little chats with myself yesterday…. and to examin my need to do things as they pop up in my gray cells. Then the jewel on the crown, when I got home, the road was closed right in front of my house, I had no access! (well I did, but I had to be coming from the other direction, and it was a very small opening!!) and I have mentioned it was pitch black out, and had been since about 4:58 pm. ok maybe 5:15…

It is pretty scary when the guardian angel is the big white truck in front of you that has lights not only along the bottom of his truck, but at each corner of his truck at the top. I offered up a silent prayer to his guardian angel in thanks and to keep him safe. Those super highways are D A R K !!!

A big thank you to my nephew who came along as I was staring in disbelief at the big road closure fences barring my way home… He ran over and saw that by going around and coming down the street from the other direction, I could squeeze the car through and into my laneway.

I was blessed with friends who checked in on me along the way…. in spirit I was never alone, and I did have a sense of accomplishment when I finally threw myself on the bed to end the evening with a well deserved “sleep”… ^{(Bedtime stories are heaven sent)}

Oh and.. onStar (service in my car) guided me every mile along the way, I even learned a new way to leave the conservation area, to the Queensway (super highway here in Ottawa)….

would I go back.. yes that was a tease.. but I would time it better.

Wednesday

If you are going to do it..do it joyfully

If you aren’t doing it light heartedly and efficiently, it is the equivalent of being lazy. Switch your mind quickly to tackle the task at hand. ^(PL2017.23)
