Needle felted with sheep’s wool that I sourced from shepherds in the area, back in the days when felting was not a common craft / art form in this area…. I found one shepherd who shared my passion, she is the one who had dyed the roving…. that I used for skin tones. I still have my needles and I keep a stash of roving “in case” … I get “the urge”… felting is a relaxing form of expression .. and it helps me keep in touch with “nature”. I would drive the back roads looking for sheep.. Drive up to strangers wanting to know about their charges.. how often they sheared, what did they do with the wool….

I walked the pastures, enjoyed the sheep dogs that herded the sheep, met wonderful grounded souls.. who loved the animals and the earth as much as I did.. I pray and thank the Universe regularly for the life I have been blessed with.

Its not about the quantity of friends one has, it is the quality of the friendships…. in this I am also blessed,

PL Precept #10 Love yourself and others.

Hello this is a picture taken in NZ the other day, it is going into fall there.

I’m waking up here to a spring day… here in Eastern Canada.

Same week .. same world, but in very different parts of the planet.

Shirl went for her walk at home in NZ and I had my stroll here in Canada.

Isn’t life grand… Think about it, Eliza is starting to share her photos of her spring flowers ..(excellent moments of shared beauty) she is in the States…

We are so lucky/blessed that the technology we have today, allows us to experience “visual” gifts that before .. we would have had to wait days, weeks, even a month, for our friend to take a picture, have it developed, then get it ready to post… Once posted that letter would take days, weeks to travel to your mailbox.

There is much we have to be thankful, let’s remember to give thanks…

Appreciate your friendships… they are part of your personal treasure chest.

We are all here today… we may not be tomorrow.. This is life..

PL Precept # 1 Life is Art

Every day is a new beginning. A new canvas

Wednesday

Never judge a book by its cover… or think you can “know” someone or something, by just glancing… three friends on a walk, see the same tree stump, not one .. will see and take in the same stump in the same way.

The only thing that is constant in life… is change.

There is something captivating about seeing the trees shake off the winter pallor and begin their transformation — soon tiny buds will adorn the waking branches… you can feel the anticipation in the cool crisp morning air.

sanctuary

When I need to regroup, find my balance, my calm… this is where I go.. the quiet, the bliss.. ahhhhh

Geese flying overhead, their honking a reminder that spring has arrived. the tapping of one of the resident woodpecker drumming out his determined search for food. All wrapped around me surrounding me in the comforting embrace of nature’s embrace. I’d come home!

I felt strong enough to venture down the trail, it was a beautiful day, still early enough that I had the whole acreage to myself.

PL Precept #18 Each moment is a turning point.

For many weeks I have been sidelined by a “health issues” that kept me away, it was so therapeutic to once more be under clear blue skies, my feet walking along the well worn path. Nature is healing. It is gift that we so often overlook and take for granted.

Have a good start to the week everyone!

Tuesday

Another day beings

A season ends

Spring season will bring new possibilities

There will be new trails, and roads to travel

This moment will never come again, don’t squander it.

Always have presence of mind

If you overexert yourself, you will get easily swayed by emotion. Always put the best Makoto* with presence of mind.

Live today filled with enthusiasm.

Life is an accumulation of the efforts you make, day by day. Live keeping in mind that “today” only comes once and live your precious life to the fullest.

PL2015.20

Move forward with confidence

Experiences you have acquired through efforts so far are wonderful. Git it all you’ve got

PL2023.20

Make today, YOUR day!

A beautiful sun filled day, the skies a brilliant blue – it was an amazing moment in time.

It was a clear day, and I was lucky enough to have the miles of forest to myself. Well almost, I had all the woodland critters with me. ^_^
