silence that wasn’t
from the pictures, all looks stark and bare – however that is not what was, what could not be capture in the frame, were the sounds of children laughing, crying out in glee at their discoveries. The happy songs of the chickadees that were swooping and landing with graceful delight at the offered treats.
I captured the trees in the late autumn wardrobes, as they patiently waited for the forecasted snow. There were people all around, dressed for the November chill, colourful jackets and scarves could be seen dotting the skyline as they emerged from their cars in the parking lot some yards away.
It was a happy day, everyone knew what was coming this way. You could feel the icy fingers of the teasing taunting wind… oh yes… snow would be here later that day.*
One should never assume that what you see at first glance, is what IS.
It is easy to misinterpret the situation and jump to conclusions. Always have a humble attitude and double check to make sure.

Be a person who can recognize the sincerity of others. When you put your whole heart into things you will be able to notice the sincere acts of others in the subtle things they do, and appreciate them that much more.

Last night when I was clearing the deck it was light and fluffy. This morning, you can see it is heavy and wet. I also note the difference, top picture taken with my Canon (Power shot SX730HS) and this morning’s offerings were taken with my Huawei P20… I love my Huawei =^_^=
Have a splendid day everyone! Whatever comes your way.. I know you will shine through it all.

say what!
Try putting yourself in the other person’s shoes. Put aside your own convenience for the moment and think about what would make the other person happy or what would best serve their needs.

What can give artistic pleasure to see the designs of “age” ” on an aging tree standing in the forest, does not incur the same reaction when the same craving for food and substance is applied to a home in an urban setting.
In Taoist philosophy, and in PL, there are always two sides to a coin, there is a positive/negative… just look at your hand, there is a top/bottom. the two are ONE. some difference are readily accepted, they just are. no more…no less. Your hand would not be whole without the top/bottom.
It is only natural that you are different from others. Each of us has our own way of thinking and our own individual lifestyles. That’s what makes life interesting.

I had a sculpture (still have) on the roof outside the back porch, the same little “beggar(s) ” kept coming back, nothing I did deterred it. now I have a male head(bust) with many “openings” guarding my property. Totally unique and different. =^_^=

Fence – ” a barrier enclosing an area” . “enclose or close off an area”.. “practice the art of fencing”
As I lay listening to the wind and rain last night, I heard how it began a tentative tapping and saw easy swaying of the branches. Later I was surprised by a demanding angry energy that caused quite a stir outside the house. I was grateful for the walls of the house that kept me safe inside from what sounded like a cold blustering howl of an energy. Any lingering dust on the windows or lying about outside, would be whisked away, I had no doubt.
I heard the rain as it pelted against the window panes, it fell washing/drenching everything in its path. Yet this morning, when I let the dogs out, the ground was already starting to dry. Not because of the sunshine, (there is none it was 6 a.m. and dark) but because where last night the wind brought the rain, now it was on its own, and drying out the wetness of the rain.
Hmmm only 30% precipitation for today, with a high of 42F not bad, winds could get up to 17 mph. Looks like a day to bundle up.
Your willingness to learn will make you shine even brighter. As long as you are motivated to learn more, you will continue to progress in life.

Do fences/walls keep you in? (real or imaginary)

little tree
A little tree sits on the forest floor
her friend the stump is being a bore
she dreams of growing tall
so she can be the belle of the Xmas ball
he reminds her that when the snow comes
she won’t be seen at all….
Everyone knows someone like her friend the stump
always ready to pounce on dreams
what a chump!
Fortunately she knows her worth,
the snow will keep her warm and safe during the winter months
she knows next spring, she will continue to grow
and the chump, Mr. stump will still be just that
a stunted lump of wood being over run
by the growth on the forest floor.
She smiles, in time, she will be able to shield and protect him
from the blazing sun, then he will know,
she will be his one true friend till the end.
Never loose sight of how much potential you have
don’t be content with the status quo,
for when you pray and believe in yourself
Your spirit will grow =^_^=
time is on your side, when we allow life to move us along
in the natural rhythm(s) of the Universe,
one step at a time, from one season to another
our roots will be deeply entrenched in solid ground
our branches will reach up high into the sky
and, and, we will live on forever….
isn’t “and” a wonderful word…
