Always be humble. If you work on things with the attitude of asking a favor, people around you will advise you what they have noticed. There is something in fact you are not aware of that you do

Sitting in silence, I sometimes get a visit from voices from the past. Always when I am on my computer at my work station, I get unwanted ads and visuals about – aging and how to look younger, … I ask myself, what is the obsession with looking younger, we are born to grow and unfold into the beautiful energies we become. In nature, the fruit trees, the flowers, perennials, they come back in the spring looking young and fresh, they blossom with beautiful flowers, then some share/ give us their bounty, visuals can be breath taking, and the taste delight on our tongues… hmmmmmm.
Have you lost “simplicity” in your life?
Are you still trying to “find” your”Self”?
What do you see when you look in the mirror? I greet the “me” I’ve become most mornings when I begin my day, and again at night when I say “goodnight”… Have you taken stock of “YOU” today, Do you “like” the person that looks back at you when you face a mirror.
Be big hearted. In fact, what you are concerned about might be something you don’t need to be concerned about. Interact with people without worrying too much

new day, new month
I found this one day, simply staring up at me as I carefully picked my way along a deserted part of the beach. I have a vague idea of where i was… if I close my eyes I can still hear the water washing up along the shoreline. I had taken a “road less used”, it was far from the area that was usually crowded at this time of year with people seeking a bit of nature. (this was an area easy enough to reach within the city, but where i had gone was behind the building that wasn’t open cuz it was a holiday) I notice that people will tend to stay where the “majority” of visitors gather. The road I took was used by “service” personnel, or trades people who come to work on the buildings. You know the kind of areas that during working hours it is busy with a lot of in and out of people working at what needs doing, they are not there for the view.
So no tourists, birders, nature lovers here, just me, myself and I, wandering along a baron beach, where the bleached driftwood and I shared the afternoon sun and lazy meanderings of the small birds that flew past. I remembering being treated to the sight of ducks floating down past me towards the open water of the lake. When I come across one of the pictures I’ve taken of the “personalities ” I meet in my travels, it is always a happy memory.
Today in PL we have service – 1st of every month, Day of Peace. Through this ceremony we pray for World Peace and dedicate ourselves to live as peaceful human beings in our own worlds, which includes our home, schook, work and community. Service today is at 10:a.m.
In Canada it is also Canada Day, there will be festivities all across and around the city. Celebrate, enjoy .. stay safe.
Yes,there will be service tomorrow Sunday as well.. 10:a.m.
finding solace
Chris took this back in June 2012, or at least that is when I first encountered this find of his. when I saw it, I was so taken with the creativity of the artist’s sculptures he’d found. I remember thinking at the time, that the artist had to have had vision.. the picture has always stayed with me, I often see trail bike riders enjoying the woodland trails, wondered if I would love the feeling of traveling through the woods with the canopy of trees overhead and all around.
The idea appealed to me, yet at the same time, I love the slow wander through the various endless vignettes I find when I am enjoying the calm of an unpreoccupied mind when I give my mental faculties a rest as I tune into my surroundings while practicing mindfulness exercises.
Get things started with grit. If you work on things in daily life with the attitude of “let’s do it” you will feel a power to accomplish things. People around you will rely on you
Perfect Liberty 2023.
Tune into your surroundings. Try narrowing your attention to something very small, i.e the woodgrain on the bench where you are sitting, a blade of grass….. acknowledge just how being in the outdoors bring you peace of mind – disconnect from the hectic world you are often surrounded by.. find yourself . try the exercise for 10 minutes. find the sense of true calm.
wandering mind
Take a moment to just enjoy this visual. Let your mind capture the endless sky and the rippled beach.
Come sit by my side – we will travel the extensive universe by simply climbing on the breeze that is fluttering by
No, don’t try to speak, let the moment happen
For in this time and space, we can let go, letting thoughts come and go without hinderance or manipulation …think of the thought as only words without meaning, without sound
When we unclutter the mind, new possibilities and opportunities will come forward
a calm and mindfulness will settle over us … we will destress and unwind
This is a good visualization if you tend to work too hard or too long
Calmness involves bringing perspective to our day to day goals.
Acknowledge your strengths.

25 June
Overgrown, running wild, vegetation everywhere, even the Saskatoon berry tree has already given up hundreds and thousands of delicious berries, birds and passers by have been feasting. The heat has been unrelenting… looks like we are headed for another sun filled day with temperatures in the high 80’s Weather network is still putting out warnings of ongoing poor air quality. Great weather for holiday goers at the cottages and resorts where they can water ski, swim etc.
In fact for the first time in a long time, I have been so affected by the heat, I am sleeping a “dead” sleep. I’m not sure if I think this is good or bad. Talking with my sister last night reminded me of when we were younger … our bedrooms were on the top floor (2nd story) under the eaves.. it was HOT. stifling, a fan when we did have access to one was a small fan that only blew air around. Basically if you were in your room, you lay down and hoped to fall asleep in short order.
Even tho’ my home has central air, the heat is such that when you open a door to the outside, it reminds me of looking into an oven when its reached its hottest, …You all enjoying the heat? My creativity levels have dropped to barely moving.
Always have presence of mind. If you overexert yourself, you will get easily swayed by emotion. Always put your best makoto with presence of mind.

Doorways
Today I’m starting with doorways of places visited by friends Nick and Mel who are travelling/exploring and visiting with family in Europe. We see similar impressive entrances in our older buildings here in Canada when we visit bigger cities, and/or ones that have been around for a very long time.
This group of doors I took while on a scenic tour of a tourist destination in Ontario, about an hour plus from where I live. Out of interest, which doorways would draw your attention, the big wooden doors in huge impressive fortress type buildings, or the colourful and charming doors in older commercial buildings in small towns.??
Discover something new today. Have a willingness and an interest, start your day with excitement.
