Being…

Unexpected upside of having something happen you didn’t expect. There is always another way of seeing something, or experiencing an event that effectively changes something inside of us. At the time we may not link it to anything in particular, it is when we are least expecting it.. that the “light” will go on, and we will wonder.. how? where? what happened??

For me, nature promotes calm and well being. I can simply get out of my car and stand still (when in the woodlands) . if I’m lucky to have the area to myself, once the birds realize that I’m not going to do anything but enjoy being there with them, the cacophony of sounds begins… the cadence and rhythm of the songs/cries changes as the community regroups and begin going about their daily business,

Make today a memorable day. Let’s try to put our whole heart into whatever we say or do, as our unique signature.

The other morning, I was greeted with a peaceful quiet . as I drank it all in…. off in the deep distance, over the tree tops and through the many layers of tree trunk and branches came the distinct sound of an owl calling/speaking….. Till that moment I had never heard an owl, I was awed.

thanksgiving -appreciation

During the winter, when the birds find water they can have fun in.. they have a splash. The Cooper’s Hawk Dan Cadieux https://www.instagram.com/dancadphotography/ found one day wandering in a stream, he apparently stayed to wade for a good hour giving Dan plenty of time to get a few good pictures in.

These wonderful pictures I get to share with you, is due to the amazing patience and dedication the photographers I work with give to their craft. I so appreciate them and their generosity in sharing with us.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Let’s live with gratitude towards everyone and everything all day today.

Today in Perfect Liberty is Thanksgiving/appreciation day. As always there will be a service for special prayers. If you are unable to attend, please spend a few minutes in prayer giving thanks for the blessings we receive.

Here is a small thought to tuck away, and meditate on … it is important to remember. anxious feelings happen to all of us from time to time… it is the wise person who listens and learns from them...

Till soon

love is

You are the result of your daily efforts. Put your whole heart into everything you do in your daily life. Your true self will shine through.

There are times when circumstances give us momentary moments of angst. It happens, but always, always there IS a solution.

It is interesting because it is difficult. In order to overcome difficulties in your life, you need to think hard and be creative. That is why life is always interesting,

I actually took a long walk around the bog the other day. It was quiet, the sky was a clear blue, not a cloud in sight. I took my time, treating myself to my own thoughts. Letting my mantra slip in and out, a gentle whisper .. I repeated it.. quietly, letting the sounds carry through the crisp morning air. I encourage others to meditate, make time for themselves.. and I am guilty of not always doing so myself.

Today at a concert, the performer was having a difficult time getting his equipment to function as it should.. sensing his frustration, without saying anything out loud or to anyone, I focused on him and said a silent prayer… He told me later, that he thought he would have to cancel, he’d been trying everything, and then .. bingo.. 2 minutes before air time, he was connected and everything fell into place. (nope never said a word to him… but I know prayer helped..)

I do believe in the power of prayer and positive thinking. I do believe that we are composed of an energy field that wraps itself around us, how we think, feel and act.. affects this energy field. I’ll go even further to say, that music .. which to me, is also “energy” can be a positive influence in our lives.

The bench you see above is at one of the conservation areas I go to. I pass it often. seldom do I take advantage of it.. I prefer instead to walk a little further and sit on one that is further in the woods and often secluded and shielded from the other visitors to the centre.

Are you making time for yourself.? . Are you smiling from within… does the smile on your face, reach and radiate from your eyes?

Here is song to send you into a “dream” space https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=MqgdQnu-Idw&feature=share It is called another Dance in Paris by Dave Renz featuring Larry Marshall

I have always (ok almost always) listened to music with words.. Dave has been introducing me to instrumentals. This is one he wrote for his Dead Drop recordings.

makoto – sincerity

Put your heart into your words. Do you tend to speak in just a matter of fact tone? It is important to put your heart into your words.l

mid month 15th.

Being silly can be fun

Here we are mid month. If you were asked, if you take life far too seriously, do you know what your answer would be. Just wondering.

Listening….

Face the speaker, make eye contact and listen carefully. Listening to people is also a form of expression. Listen with Makoto (sincerity)

The above picture is of my elder dog making like he is listening to what is being said. It is always interesting to watch how intently he can become aware of something, listen, and then dismiss what he’s heard based on ??? We may smile, but how often in the day do we do the same or a close facsimile of this same behaviour.

Till soon everyone.. have a great day!

Change(s)

light/shadows

“As a living person you interact with the people and things around you in order to express your feelings. Your life is shaped by the way you express your feelings, each and every day. “your artistic expressions are what make your life a work of art….” If you are ignoring these truths and just living half heartedly going through your daily life not paying careful attention to your repeated actions you will not be able to lead a full life. Life is an accumulation of small moments.” (members guide)

You can only change yourself. Before you start telling people how they should do things, think of how you can be more flexible.

Adapting

Good Morning, can we adapt, of course we can. Is anything possible, well……. honestly speaking….. yes, but things don’t happen by themselves. The example I often use, is because I bought a vacuum cleaner, a pail and a mop doesn’t mean that I am going to suddenly become a good little domestic. I may have had good intentions when I bought said items.. but if I don’t change my attitude and/or make a sincere effort to change how I feel about doing such “chores” not much will happen except that now I walk around a pretty pink vacuum cleaner that sits waiting to be used, and the cleaners use my mop and pail when they come once a month. See =^_^= … I did find a way to tidy up .. dust, vacuum etc. just not the way I first thought it would get done.

really! me vacuum… geesh at least I did give it the old college try.

Ancestors Day is tomorrow Friday March 11. service at 10: a.m.

to those of you who know me…. some things… are hard to change… I did try.

Doors

How often do you walk past a door, get so far, stop and then walk back to have another look. Some doors are simply too interesting to ignore. Others stand silently blending in with their surroundings, and some exist only in your “mind”. All represent a pathway or opportunity to explore something different .. the first photo is of a fence not a door .. but I saw it as a gateway to (the other side of the fence) The photographer who took the picture, gave it a “story” I just couldn’t pass it up.

The second photo, is believe it or not, a doorway for a feathered friend… who by the looks of it, is going to be visited by a pesky squirrel.

The other doors are ones that are there for a purpose, the settings, the time of day the pictures were taken, all give the photos an air of “mystery” …… what was their daily life like. I want to open each one and peak into the interiors.

It’s 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.

Flash back

winter 2022

No words, just sharing a few special moments with you.

Express yourself clearly so others can understand you. When you can’t communicate clearly, it can lead to problems. Always express yourself carefully to avoid any misunderstandings.
