chickens

Unlikely pair to find on my way to the woods. I have to turn off a country road unto another very rural road that leads to one of the conservation area… I drove by the two chickens just sitting on the road (opposite side from the side I was driving).. at first I thought, my eyes were deceiving me.. I stopped looked in the rear view mirror to find two heads turned my way. I backed up. what else could I do.. stopped beside them, turned my flashers on and got out. They watched with interest .. didn’t move… just waited for me to???

I got seed from the back of my car and put it on the other side of them.. hoping to lead them off the road itself. they didn’t hesitate they began pecking and moving to the side of the road. What to do.. I didn’t want to leave them the woods there are full of coyotes and other critters that could do them harm. In the end I did drive to the parking lot and got the phone number for the NCC (National Capital Commission) the land owners … who in turn assured me they would get in touch with someone from the conservation team. And a ranger would come to the rescue… I sure hope they did.

Are you overdoing things? Not only do you harm yourself when you overdo things, but you may be imposing on others as well.

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

btw. no I don’t think the chickens came from somewhere near by.. it is in the woods there are no farms in that area.. it is all protected land. It snowed last night.. there were no tracks in the snow.

For everything there is a reason .. maybe not at the time … will you know why? … but there will be an aha moment when something will “relate”

Till soon..

be in tune

sound

Be in tune with the feeling of others. Let’s start by trying to understand other peoples’ feelings.

where two energies meet up

We live in a society that obsesses over physical appearance and fitness. This is a good reason, why it is essential to find a way to appreciate and love .. the “me” in all of us.. let’s practice body love and appreciation today.

love is in the air….till soon

thanksgiving -appreciation

During the winter, when the birds find water they can have fun in.. they have a splash. The Cooper’s Hawk Dan Cadieux https://www.instagram.com/dancadphotography/ found one day wandering in a stream, he apparently stayed to wade for a good hour giving Dan plenty of time to get a few good pictures in.

These wonderful pictures I get to share with you, is due to the amazing patience and dedication the photographers I work with give to their craft. I so appreciate them and their generosity in sharing with us.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Let’s live with gratitude towards everyone and everything all day today.

Perfect Liberty 2022.21

Today in Perfect Liberty is Thanksgiving/appreciation day. As always there will be a service for special prayers. If you are unable to attend, please spend a few minutes in prayer giving thanks for the blessings we receive.

Here is a small thought to tuck away, and meditate on … it is important to remember. anxious feelings happen to all of us from time to time… it is the wise person who listens and learns from them...

Till soon

makoto – sincerity

Put your heart into your words. Do you tend to speak in just a matter of fact tone? It is important to put your heart into your words.l

always and forever

Let’s explore

This barn is being preserved, but all around it has been torn down, fields are ripped up, a new development is going on. sigh..

Driving around upper New York State. There was such a variety of buildings ..from run down to redone.. and of course… a “state” building.

Remember the door knob yesterday.. this is what it was hiding. Now you know why I wear good hiking boots and protective clothing when I explore. Always very careful when entering abandoned buildings

Experience the joy of change. It is truly amazing when you look back at yourself this year, or today compared to yesterday and realize how much you have improved and changed.

Be happy, be safe!

mid month 15th.

Being silly can be fun

Here we are mid month. If you were asked, if you take life far too seriously, do you know what your answer would be. Just wondering.

Listening….

Face the speaker, make eye contact and listen carefully. Listening to people is also a form of expression. Listen with Makoto (sincerity)

The above picture is of my elder dog making like he is listening to what is being said. It is always interesting to watch how intently he can become aware of something, listen, and then dismiss what he’s heard based on ??? We may smile, but how often in the day do we do the same or a close facsimile of this same behaviour.

Till soon everyone.. have a great day!

Change(s)

“As a living person you interact with the people and things around you in order to express your feelings. Your life is shaped by the way you express your feelings, each and every day. “your artistic expressions are what make your life a work of art….” If you are ignoring these truths and just living half heartedly going through your daily life not paying careful attention to your repeated actions you will not be able to lead a full life. Life is an accumulation of small moments.” (members guide)

You can only change yourself. Before you start telling people how they should do things, think of how you can be more flexible.

Service today, March 11th. will be at 10: a.m. Not everyone can attend being it is a work day, please if you can join us in silent prayer around the 10: a.m hour. we welcome your “energy” ..

Gratidao aos nossos antepassados – Gratitude to our ancestors.

Nature promotes calm and well being, stepping out into the fresh air, enjoying a walk in the sunshine or light rain/snow… can be invigorating and have a positive impact on your health and well being. Share a smile today…

Bom dia… Have a great day!

Doors

How often do you walk past a door, get so far, stop and then walk back to have another look. Some doors are simply too interesting to ignore. Others stand silently blending in with their surroundings, and some exist only in your “mind”. All represent a pathway or opportunity to explore something different .. the first photo is of a fence not a door .. but I saw it as a gateway to (the other side of the fence) The photographer who took the picture, gave it a “story” I just couldn’t pass it up.

The second photo, is believe it or not, a doorway for a feathered friend… who by the looks of it, is going to be visited by a pesky squirrel.

The other doors are ones that are there for a purpose, the settings, the time of day the pictures were taken, all give the photos an air of “mystery” …… what was their daily life like. I want to open each one and peak into the interiors.

It’s easier to adapt to something when we find it interesting. No matter how enjoyable a situation is, a slight change in our attitude can make it boring. Let’s face any situation with curiosity and enthusiasm.

unexpected upside

We are capable of handling whatever comes our way. Instead of asking yourself “Can I do it?” simply tell yourself “I’m going to do it” then, give it your best effort.”

Perfect Liberty 2022.17

Sometimes we are faced with sudden change in plans, in this case, the container of seeds I was carrying to a feeder slipped and fell to the ground, so instead of being in the feeder, there was a full cup of seed, peanuts and such on the ground at my feet. You can see my friend here was quick to help rescue the situation. He /she did not want me to feel my efforts would go unappreciated!

I’m off to see if she/he is still waiting for breakfast. Sky is clear and a bright blue.. clouds are white and fluffy.. Till soon…
