If your mind is always full ….. how can new ideas filter through…. life is still unfolding.. there is no fixed self,… a conversation can challenge your assumptions… to be open is to be free… the mind like the body, must remain supple… if you are to move with the currents of life.
The bigger the task, the more your convictions are tested
Whenever you are undertaking a huge task, you may encounter resistance. Don’t give up, and let your strong resolve carry you to completion.

PL Precept #8 Live as the sun
Oyashikiri
First, Accept everything
Life is filled with moments, sometimes happy and at times inconvenient. It is important to first accept every situation as it occurs and try to accept and understand it for what it is.
PL2019.8
It’s interesting because it’s different
Even if someone totally disagrees with you or does things differently, you may learn something from them. Avoid getting trapped in the mindset. “This is the way it has to be ” and free your mind to consider other possibilities.

Things I gave away when I moved, now I need! C’est la vie

Ian I think you took this picture from your kayak….
There are pumpkins everywhere these days. the small ones they sell for making pies .. are wonderful cubed and used in stir fries or simply steamed and buttered with your favorite spices.
Your smile energizes the people around you
A smile has the ability to put others at ease and give them energy. Strive to be the first to offer a smile each day to those around you.

Work well with everyone
The opinions of those who are younger may lead to new solution’s, and we can always learn from the accumulated experiences of our elders

Another beautiful day for you to enjoy.

In a world addicted to noise, stillness is not only rare, it is magnetic. when you can be authentic and live being yourself, you enjoy quiet reflection, and a place for space. Saying less, says more. Don’t speak to fill space, pause … don’t react, choose your words with care.
How are you today! It’s Sunday!
Your continued efforts will bring happiness
Persevere without giving up. This will lead to great joy in life.

How was Montreal? We didn’t get into the city we stopped on the West Island for lunch and ended up staying on the West Island. The colours on the drive were awesome..

There is a limitation to your own knowledge and experience. Listen carefully and sincerely to others’ opinion.

A Door, doors are built to allow us access to a building and then to leave it. While we are inside, we are protected from the elements and the world outside.. The door is our method of returning to the outside world and the chaos and cacophony that is forever trying to invade and influence our “Quiet “‘
The door comes in a wide variety of colours even shapes and sizes, the dictionary says it is a “a hinged, sliding, or revolving barrier at the entrance to a building, room, or vehicle, or in the framework of a cupboard.” I have seen doors that are imposing and others that are just sturdy and practical. Think about it … where would we be with a door.?
PL thought 2017.18
Welcome the new while respecting the old
Every generation brings forth new and positive changes, but also relies on the wisdom of the past. Be able to appreciate both and take the best from each.
PL2017.18

Remember how you felt in the beginning
Doing the same old thing monotonously without thought will stifle progress. When you get stuck, go back to the beginning and start fresh.
