Wednesday
You know when you have someone’s undivided attention. You know when what you are saying is being processed and listened to, If when we engage in a conversation, the other party is simply replying to your statement/comment, or they really really want to know what your saying and what it means.
And… sometimes, we are the ones who are being superficial, we call out a greeting or make a comment, but we have not really meant to engage, we are just being polite.
Spending time with Gracie, the boxer you see above, reminded me of just how different it is to interact with a dog…. versus a feline friend. I couldn’t help but draw a comparison… to interactions one gets from a dog, versus a cat. And of course, that led me to thinking how indifferent humans can be with each other as well.
PL Precept # 12 Everything has a way according to its name.
PL Precept # 13 There is a way for men and a way for women,
This is a tricky one … a good topic for a round table discussion with Rev. Hiroki .. what do you think? In PL we are open and encourage participation in the interpretation of the Precepts and Principles … If you have thoughts you’d like to share, I’d love to hear them.
Have a good day everyone, Feil is watching and you know he won’t miss a trick….

snow
The soft flakes fell ..,each a delicate masterpiece of beauty… with gentle precision they landed on the extended arms of the trees. The forest was covered in a blanket of sparkling organic gems. Some translucent and others the purest of white.
I was surrounded by scenes that were surreal ,the world had become a winter wonderland. Suddenly I’d get a flash of black as a frisky squirrel would scamper towards the “cafe”… then I would catch the rusty red of a smaller squirrel rushing to get a place at the “table”.
The blue jays were already poised to shop for the biggest peanut they could find… and since reopening, the woodpeckers were gathering higher up … waiting for the suet and butter bark to be distributed.
The chickadees,, nuthatch and a group of “gray” birds were busy grabbing would they could from the buffet tables. Chirping and chattering all the while as they flew back for second and third helpings
Here we are at the beginning of new week. I hope you have a beautiful start to your day/week.
Have clear goals and take appropriate actions
Always begin with a clear idea of what your goals are. Once you have pinpointed the target for your actions, things will move forward much more smoothly.

The next day after the snow.. the cafe floor was filled with tiny and mid size paw prints. There wasn’t a crumb left.. all the tables/platters were empty.

The other day while driving down towards the St. Lawrence (river), which is south of where I live, I was surprised to see that some of the trees were already showing signs of fall. We’ve had a very hot and humid summer, but fall doesn’t officially start till mid/late September. Still, I must admit, I am looking forward to the changing season. That fresh crispness that wafts through the air on clear sunny days,
Pay careful attention without overly straining yourself of taking things too lightly
Having the right amount of tension in your life allows you to notice many things, and that will help you to better express yourself.
PL2019.25
Where ever you are in the world, make it a special YOU day. Smile it is such a precious gift.
Curious, have you started preparing for the joyful season coming up? (including the howling time)
