I absolutely love the creativity I find in SL (Second Life) This is someone’s build that is currently on view for people to explore and appreciate. If you are in the SL community, this is the url to explore “The Mist” http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/The%20Mist/163/133/22 Please note this is an Adult sim. In the land of darkness and the time of demons reign, there was a Kingdom called The White Winged.That was the name of the mist land, Come Explore The Story And Meet The Land’s Heros,

like a moth to a flame
the hypnotic atmosphere, captured my senses

When you visit, you can set your environment settings to whatever “resonates” with you. I did not have a lot of time to explore… I made the most of the time I had, capturing the various builds that caught my “eye”.

In life we can be many things. The beauty of SL is that it allows our creativity to be expressed in endless ways. You many not participate in the wonders of virtual platforms, but you still have the opportunity in life to express yourself. When we give voice to the wonders within our “minds” we allow growth. We encourage new thoughts, and make way for new discoveries.

Express yourself today. Share your smile, your knowledge and your visions.

In PL Life is Art…… We excel and grow when we live the PL WAY.

make it happen

It was a cool day today, there was a strong wind, and few people on the beach. Being a Saturday of a long week-end, the last before we march into the fall season, I expected there would be more people

Nice and quiet. There would be more people … the cars were pulling in steadily, with the promise of sun for most of the day, the scene would change soon enough. After all, it was not yet nine a.m.

Don’t give up!

Stick with it, as many times as it takes. Sometimes you want to just throw in the towel and say, “I give up” but that is the time for you to dig deep and push through. Your sincere effort will invite a good outcome.

Kanwaza

Kanwaza in Perfect Liberty, is an “act of God” when we find ourselves dealing with a situation that is/was totally unexpected.

In my case a blow out on a wet windy day on a week-end, when the service centre of the dealership I deal with and most other automotive places are closed.

As it turned out I found myself in front of Nickys Auto Sales, when I finally got my car to a stop, off the busy road. The place was closed, but in the back I saw that one of the bay doors was open and a man was washing a car.

outstanding customer service and attention to detail!

Needless to say I was blessed… The man was amazingly helpful and friendly, he not only got me back on the road safely he did everything he could to make sure I was at ease, and that I understood what and why he was doing something. there was no tire available, he could not fix the tire I had, it was totally busted. I was at the dealers this morning (top pictures) at seven a.m. this morning.

Good news. my tire is under warranty, one has been ordered, and the dealer will fix it for me as soon as it comes in.

In PL we live with appreciation in our hearts, and do our best to learn from the “experiences” that come our way. Yes I had a traumatic reaction (flashbacks to the accidents I had not that long ago), but I was also favoured with the positive experiences of the people, strangers, friends, who came to my aid.

New encounters can help you change. Be up for anything even if it out of your comfort zone. This is a chance for you to improve yourself as a human being.

it is that time of year. =^_^=

Oh really, for real? Oh yes… this is my happy shopping time. Looking for what the suppliers have come up with this year.*

it the colour, the creativity…. oh such fun to be had.

Be creative in your efforts. If something is not going well, take a step back and look at how you are tackling the problem. There is sure to be something you can improve on.

Oyashikiri – PL Precept # 1 Life is Art

quiet moment

it was quiet………….. too quiet…………… in the stillness, I could actually feel that time stood still.. it was brief, maybe a second or two… just enough for me to catch a glimpse of the thought that had been stilled.

the early morning light is getting stronger ……….. I spy the bike and wonder how long its been there ………….. was it just forgotten………. will its rider return some day ………… or is this just another way …………. of leaving a thought unspoken ……………

We do that in life, we start a sentence…………… and then ……for what-ever reason…………. we leave the thought unfinished. More often than not, we don’t even recognize or are aware that we left a “thought/moment” unfinished.

In the quiet………..new ideas germinate ……….. if we interact proactively with the every changing “world” around us ……….. it is good to live with a flexible mind… today’s mantra… “go with the flow”……………… let the quiet moment…….. spawn new growth ……….to enhance your NOW.

Good or Bad, it is your mirror…. sincere expressions invite good results, but insincere expressions can lead to unexpected trouble.

Thursday doors

The top red brick home is a little gem I came across on one of my day trips. I was fortunate enough to meet one of the owners. She was taking a well deserved break on her wrap around.. just enjoying the cool morning breeze on what was to be a HOT day. Her home has been lovingly restored and kept pretty much as it was. the old wood floors gleamed of polish, I loved the attention that was paid to maintaining the dignity of the home.

The white empty building with the flat roof, is the structure right next to the lot with that wonderful sculpture I posted the other day.

This is the wood fence that separates the building from the stump. Interesting design.

I had not seen the tombstone with the entrance on it before. So snapped a picture for my collection of doors/portals.10

It is only natural that you are different from others. Each of us has our own way of thinking and our own individual lifestyle. That is what makes life interesting.

this would be a man made archway or entrance, yes? Shirley Keen took this on one of her walks, featured it before… NZ

stump sculpture.

I love you Babe!

The back of the stump appealed to me the most. I walked around several times, taking my time, wanting to experience every dimension of what I was seeing. It sat on a vacant lot that had been for sale, I saw a sold sign on the real estate sign I hope that doesn’t mean that the stump will disappear.

I hope in clicking on it, you can see how much darker the backside is. Does it look like man had a hand in shaping it.. or was it cut down, and then left for nature to do her thing. ???

There are times in life when I think I feel like that stump. I have no reason for being where I am, except it is where I have ended up… and while life goes on around me.. my physical appearance changes, but inside, I’m like a piece of wood. 1000 stories to tell, and no way to have them heard.

I pulled out a calendar .. like I would the I Ching, closed my eyes and flipped to a page.

Always live with a kind and generous heart. Show love and embrace others’ good points, and be willing to overlook their faults. One who has a generous heart can live a fulfilled life.

Thunder and tornado warnings here.. gosh.. excitement never ends. Make the twilight hours count… re-energize… absorb the silver moonbeams as they criss cross the skies. the galaxy is alive…
