There was a time when we could enjoy quiet moments of reflection, when there wasn’t an electronic device in every room. We basked in the quiet of the day, we sat outside on the porch or front stoop and enjoyed the day/night. Neighbours going for a walk, or coming home from work, going out for the evening, walking to the bus stop, the pace was slow and leisurely. And…. and…. people waved and stopped to say hi.. good evening/day….

All that has gone away. I’m told that people don’t even have time to play, they are always rushing to get something done/finished/started. Hobby, what’s that?

I have been in my new home now for just a little over a year, it has been a transition, from a house to an apartment . I am still only now realizing that I’m still “adjusting”

Its too early to really talk about it.. but I at least have now accepted that the change.. long overdo… was inevitable.

You can run, you can try to hide,, but you can never escape the thoughts and feelings you carry inside. We think we are alone, but always, no matter where we go, where we are, the “Universe” is watching over you.

lundi

Hello, bom dia… it was nice to be out enjoying fresh air and open skies. too often animals are kept in human made cages that keep them in buildings eating man made products instead of being out in the open air, grazing. Drove for miles yesterday on back roads, passing dozens of farms and farmland. Not a grazing animal in sight.

To be fair I do live in a populated province and myself live in a major city in the country, however, I made the effort to drive away from the city and populated suburbs and city sprawl.

I am a believer that we need to spend more time keeping in touch with nature’s healing energy. Can you spend a day away from your cell phone, a computer/television and/or electronic gadgets?

Happy Wednesday everyone.

Tuesday

It is easier to adapt to something when we find it interesting

No Matter how enjoyable a situation is, a slight change in our attitude can make it boring. Let’s face any situation with curiosity and enthusiasm.

nature

Mother Nature, no one does natural beauty like the gifts nature offers us … we need only look around. Attended the summer Gneiss Guy crystal, mineral and fossil show/sale… to be completely surrounded by minerals and nature’s gifts.. to touch and experience the energy from the crystals and earth treasures from all over the world was energizing.

I drove down to Montreal in the morning, was back mid afternoon. The drive was full of quiet reflection, skies were blue, clouds were white and puffy…. There is something very humbling about being able to hold and experience a mineral that came from half way around the world, dug out of the bowels of the earth and handled by many hands before arriving where I could hold and take in its unique composition.

The fossils are even more intriguing. I was there very early .. doors opened at 9 yet, when I got there shortly before 10… vendors were already leaving boxes of inventory for their shops/boutiques. There was a lot of crystal, but after years of collecting, I am more selective wanting pieces now for my personal “stash”… since I not longer create one of a kind sculptures and jewelry… I can just satisfy my personal need to feed my “pleasure” chest.

I bought/adopted pieces that made me smile and drew me in with charm and delightful designs all completely presented from the earth itself. I did indulge in a few carved birds (yes from the minerals ) there are some amazing artists and creators out there.

I am filled with gratitude for the time and efforts of the artisans, “rock ” hunters, craftsmen, and entrepreneurs who bring these treasures where I can enjoy them.
