nos momentos dificeis da vida
Nos momentos dificeis da vida….. in difficult moment of life,..step back, stop and listen to the voice within. If you can… visit a place where you can meditate/pray … take in the silence, the quiet, let your body/mind recalibrate, release negative and worrisome energies.. In areas where the seasons change, the transition from winter to spring can be a gradual change or a dramatic explosion … ie. severe weather warnings, forest fires, flooding..
You are never alone, even if at times it feels that way… Turn on the flame of hope… let the Universe help you to find inner peace.., The rain will feed the plants that are waking after being dormant for months on end .. spring flowers are blooming, the other day I passed many lilac bushes already bursting with colour.. I would have gotten out to see if their fragrance was filling the air, however.. I was stopped from following that thought process,, when I saw the mosquitoes eagerly waiting for me to get out of the car.
Life is a balance…. PL Precept # 20 Live maintaining equilibrium between mind and matter..

Strive to overcome obstacles by changing your mind frame. Things don’t always go as planned. When that happens, try changing how you look at the situation or how you are doing things The outcome is in your hands. ( PL2020.17)
Bumped into a friend who I had not seen for a long time, yet we are often in the same area/place… we just don’t get to have a one on one. Of course the opening question is always, “how you doing”.. “doing great” was my reply…a voice inside my head asked,,… “is that really the right answer, or is it your polite answer”. Strange I thought, why was my inner voice popping up.. I was doing .. I am doing fine… Soon, I knew why I was being kept “present”… my friend was answering my “how are you?”
It is easy to give an automatic response, it can be “habit”… when we do that, we are not always “present” and hearing what the response is that we are getting from the friend we have just asked the same question to. The moment passes and the opportunity to be there for someone passes with it. Friendships are special, true some are fleeting.. but others last a lifetime… In making each moment one of “value” we never regret “missed opportunities”.

Who knew! yesterday I heard a Cackling Goose, hmmm looked to me like the Canada Goose, but no… I eventually had time to look it up, Sorry I had to take a screen shot during a video to get this shot to share with you. It was migrating !!! and I got to hear it. Now I’m wondering if that is the bird I’m seeing with the Sand Crane some mornings.
Again I’m remined one should not take it for granted when we see a bird at a distance that it is not be dismissed as just another XYZ. I’m relatively new to the world of birds.. it is an adventure in learning.
I have been watching the growth of a red trillium… such a little beauty, I didn’t get to see one last year.. and this year it is my first find.

Fresh fallen snow, always gives a picture of “new beginnings” – maybe not the best weather to drive in, but so beautiful visually – I am so blessed to have this vista within a short drive from where I live. When I arrived this morning (when picture was taken) the birds were so happy to see I had not been deterred from visiting. No chipmunks turned up, but the little brown and red squirrels bounced through the wet snow to come greet me. What a sight when breakfast was served, the blue jays were first to arrive with their loud enthusiastic cheers they sent calls out to all their ‘buddies”
New beginnings. The Ottawa church of PL (Perfect Liberty) has begun a new chapter, Please join us this Sunday to meet the new minister Rev Hiroki Matuski and his lovely wife Yoshiko. Hirok Sensi and Yoshiko look forward to meeting you. There will be coffee/tea (light refreshment) after the Gathering Service.
When taking on a task, start fresh without being biased or jumping to conclusions. When your thinking is too rigid you will be unable to deal with ideas in a flexible and constructive way, Always strive to look at thing with a fresh mind.
