Pileated woodpecker

Pileated woodpecker

I was humbled and totally captured by this beautiful bird yesterday. He surprised me by appearing beside me, and I mean beside me… looked me right in the eyes, and actually stayed there long enough for me to re cover my shock at having him so close to me and my face. I was putting out seed along a fallen log for the other birds… he was an arm’s reach from me … we were face to face…

My only thought was … this must be the bird that hung around with me a year or so ago.. he would come and visit, then fly off and I’d hear his knocking…. loud knock knock knock.. on the various trees around.. He hung around maybe a week or two and then he was gone… I’d hear him, but never see him …. He left an impression… but with time.. the moments faded… so much else is happening in the world.

Yesterday when I saw him… the fact that he was so close to me, and stayed close enough to connect with me, brought back that first encounter… I had never seen a pileated up close .. ever… I was used to the Downy and the Hairy fluttering around waiting for the food to be put out… but never had I seen the pileated. What a majestic bird.

I was too taken aback and “in the moment” that getting a picture was just not even in my head. All I could do was look back at him … I might even have gasped… then he flew off calling as he went.

This morning I found the clip by Francois Potvin… I’m sharing it with you. Enjoy.

Life is an adventure. Every moment is a lifetime.

PL Precept # 7 Everything exists in relativity

You all know my love of the crow and the ravens… but this one bird, man … he has stolen my heart big time.

Some times a picture = a thousand words.

Snow can turn a world into a wonderland

No one an take away the joy you get from putting your whole heart into something.

The joy you feel when you’ve put your all into something is yours and yours alone. Nobody can take that away from you.

In the forest deep – it is thought I sleep

but if honesty is the order of the day

then I must confess to always be at play

for I have been here so long and my roots run so deep

that while I look like I am standing still

every molecule of my being is alive and unafraid

of whatever mischief I can display,

For living is an art I have honed well

See if you can look away

when I deign to display

my perfect blending into the landscape today.

Oh and by the way

Life is art is PL Precept #1

wanna come play

you can be the sun, I will be the moon

together we will make it a perfect day.

Step in out of the cold, wander down a sun filled path,

walk through fields of tall autumn grass and pretty flowers.

Dream of the coming season, when the world will start to awaken and new growth will begin.

It will come to be, soon enough.

Smiles are the word’s treasure\If you smile more / there will be more smiles in the world. Be one of those who makes more smiles.

If you are going to do it…… Put your whole heart into it.

Your degree of seriousness will affect the outcome. Your daily accumulation of effort towards your goals shows just how serious you are.

Hello?

Have you ever found you arrive somewhere and suddenly you know you are somewhere, but realize you don’t know or understand anything that is around you. It happens even when you are on home ground. You wake up and find that ..ok yes… you understand the language, but… the world around you, the voices you hear, even though they are speaking a language you know.. the meaning, the context, the way they see life is unfamiliar to you. Sometimes I feel transported by a Telephone Booth (Dr. Who) or I was highjacked by the Star Ship and I’m on a different galaxy. If I blink will it go away? Maybe Spock will walk around the corner. (fictional character from the Star Trek franchise. If I shake a strangers hand, will I get pregnant?

For awhile I thought, “it is because you are over 50 … you’re having a mid life crises.” But.. time moves on and no.. there is definitely a mis-connect. If on the computer, I would turn it off and do a reboot, or hit restart… But this is 2026… it’s real and I don’t think one can just reboot one’s life. I hear a meow and I look over and the cat is looking at me… I can see it in her eyes… you have to go now.. I’m waiting for you to open the window (she means the television, she wants to see the activity outside, YouTube has cat videos!) When I leave in the morning, my routine is to get ready .. I pull out my coffee (cold from the fridge, YES cold! I even fill it with ice cubes too !!) put it by the door and turn on the telly for them before I leave. They don’t even notice my leaving.

Today, I’m late.. getting organized, spent the night bleeding either awake or dreaming. I DO NOT usually dream… Maybe today I should seek out some ” Vulcan stoicism”. When I see the doctor today, I’ll ask him if he thinks my ears are somewhat pointed. OK everyone, have a good day.. Here is today’s PL message. (PL Perfect Liberty) philosophy from Japan.

Live with firm determination, thinking that “this will turn out for the best”

Everything in this world progresses and develops. Always be positive, knowing that everything will turn out for the best.
