Does an open door intrigue and tease – do you often wander aimlessly looking for a place to be..
when out of the corner of your eye, you see… an open door, inviting you to enter
the sight brings a simple joy and pleasure … and look, there is a lot of space to simply rest and ignore that the rest of the world is sooo busy, but for now…
all you seek, is a place to rest and allow your mind chill….
All work and no play, is not what you need today… today is time for you to explore the open door.
Enjoy what happens. people who can enjoy anything happening to them receive wisdom for the next step. try to work on things without being overly concerned.
In silence I find myself transcending the NOW of the moment
To the vibrant energy of the forest trail
I see before me the portrait of the life on each leaf – in the textures of the tree bark
I am in awe at the way the frost paints a delicate lace on the landscape that surrounds me
Each picture perfect moment is etched in my consciousness
THIS is LOVE of the rarest kind – it removes the blindfold from my eyes
I am seeing the world again … not just with my eyes
but from the heart and soul of my BEing.
Every day is a gift from God/Universe

Choices – we all have them, we encounter them every day – some we make without really thinking about them, others we give a lot of thought to. With the change of seasons, comes an opportunity to listen closely to our inner voice, and let the past drop, like the soon to be falling leaves. Once lived, it is time to let go. Learn from what was, appreciate now and move forward. Love is a powerful emotion, live with it wisely,
Oyashikiri
In life there is Yin/Yang, we cannot have one without the other. (positive/negative)
Oh No she cried.. Go away, – Come again another day…the sun isn’t up yet – Let me stay in bed – Only for a little while longer – But – the dragon’s voice grew stronger – you have things to do – You can’t just lie in bed – Why ?? Why? Why?? – She tried pulling the covers over her head – the dragon pulled back his head and blew a gentle nudge her way – There are things to do and you will be late – now be a good girl and get out of bed – She knew he was right – the dragon was always right – But dragon wasn’t finished – Close your eyes for 30 seconds… go on… do as I say… with a sigh she closed her eyes…. She felt a gentle kiss on her forehead and smiled…. – Now you can get up his quiet calming voice spoke, she felt his love and knew he would be there with her to face the day – With a smile on her face and in her heart she rose to meet the day.
Begin each day with love…
That is the dragon way….
Praying before taking action changes the outcome. Have clear wishes and do your best. Then something new will open up for you.
An evening of music, of quiet, of no rushing around, just chilling. I had a full day catching up on “to do” activities, it had been too hot/humid to be outside. I did go out and prune back overly aggressive vines, ground cover, I lasted less than an hour. In clearing up “stuff”, in the electronic age, we have so much “trash” accumulated on hard drives, our phones etc. I came across the above “captured moment” in a folder dated 2015… wow.. couldn’t even remember who, where, when, what… obviously I had fun writing and creating the piece… but … such is life… another reason for really enjoying and living the moments .. because… every day is a new day..
No I didn’t delete it, I’ll come across it again someday, maybe… and when I do.. who knows.. I might recall who, what, where, when, and what inspired that moment, .. but if I don’t.. it is OK too.. why, cuz … wow .. how I see it, is if I knew such happiness then… such moments do exist, and nothing is impossible.
Let’s have a humble mind. Once you think, “that’s good enough,” you become blind to the opportunities to me more creative.

I have always tried to live each moment with “Makoto” (Sincerity) – in this way … I seldom have regrets.. from a very early age it was instilled in me to always be focused on now .. and do my best. My Dad used to tell me .. if I pay attention NOW, I wouldn’t have to study and cram to remember for exams, I’d know because I paid attention at the time.. Plus when you are in the moment, you see and hear exactly what is being said and happening…. trying to recall something days, months years later… well, we all know… it is not the same.

Simplify your routine – be gentle to yourself. Listen to the the sights and sounds around you. Eat more mindfully, tone, stretch breathe, and relax!
In Canada, .. July 1. is Canada Day!
Brighten up your day with happy thoughts, shared moments. Its been a long time since I’ve been inspired to just sit down at my computer and put together a visual thought. A thought /verse or moment that pops up in my head and simply needs to be visualized.* If you are a writer/artist, you know about those moments when “inspiration hits”… we say.. “Oh, great idea” and then we move on to doing something else or finishing what we were doing when the “idea” came to us. –hours later we have forgotten, that “moment” has disappeared, we vaguely recall some of it.. but the “bright light” has dimmed.
In trying to be more observant of my reactions, I am doing my best to notice my feelings – positive, negative and neutral… I know when I am mindful … I get a sense of freedom. The mind is always chasing who, what, why of our experiences. Today during service, I will do a mindful meditation .. to reconnect with the spaces between the many thoughts that bounce around in my head. I will let a thought come, notice it, and let it go.
Instead of immediately chasing after a pleasant idea, or instantly running away from something unpleasant, I’ll step back .. notice what is happening.. and simply observe. LOL sounds easy.. believe me it takes practice.. but so well worth it. Join me?
You can be with God by having a prayerful mind. Let’s pray for World Peace. We are all one big family. Let’s start by praying for the happiness of those around us.

Find compassion with others by thinking of things you have in common: ” Just like me, this person wishes to be well and happy” Then take a moment to send them some kind wishes.
a quide to mindfulness 3..22.
the night is dark, my thoughts simple
In the quiet as I sit in the evening shadow
I know the light in the room is You
I need only close my eyes to feel your presence
with gratitude and appreciation I allow the night to draw me in
There is a calm that wrapes like a balmaround my restless heart
When I allow my mind to clear of all that is shallow/unnecessary
