wondering

because we can’t see the ground under the ice, does that mean it isn’t there

with the ivory cover being missing, will the piano still play

will the sun ever shine again..

How authentic are we….

Life is what it is… I learned a long time ago…. even side by side looking out at the same view, no two people will ever have the same experience or see the same thing. But I learned in my lifetime, that in being true to myself, my journey is blessed… how about you?

In the silence – garden spirits (nature)keep watch…

Just because you close your eyes, the day does not disappear,,, as much as you want to believe that night won’t follow day…. or day turn to night – life is what it IS no more… no less.

Last night the TBX (Trow Boa Experience) played a debut performance of a full set of originals (Cuban vibe) from the extensive list of original music by musician and performer, Trow Boa. The Trow Boa personna emerged some 18 plus year ago in the online game, Second Life. The man himself Trow Boa is a long time musician in every day life, who has had 35 + years in the world of music. He plays professionally in and around his home State, and has appeared Nationally and Internationally .. not to mention the many students he has taught who have gone on to excel in their own right in the music industry.

The man has dedicated his passion for the saxophone into a way of expression that delights and pleases his audiences. He plays as regularly in SL as his time allows. It has been fun to watch his progress, and how he uses his love for the music he plays to expand his personal inventory of original music. He uses his gift to not only help others, but to entertain and share the music with audiences that appreciate not only live but original instrumentals. TBX is becoming an entity on its own. Audience come for the experience! And he, Trow Boa delivers!!

The fact that he started from the basics and has tirelessly continued to expand and hone his music skills speaks volumes for his dedication and love of his craft. He not only enjoys what he does his pleasure in sharing his music is catching, Audiences are drawn to the ambience he weaves with his unique style and presentation….

Oxtail broth

How many of you have been so disappointed when buying store bought bone broth? I have been trying off and on now for a long time to satisfy my craving for a good ready made broth. What you see above is my breakfast … a bowl of steaming freshly made (overnight) oxtail soup.

Oxtails fresh from the butcher at the Asian supermarket near me

Fresh okra grown locally

fresh mushroom (big cafe ones)

slices of sweet onion/Spanish onion

cream corn (small can)(I prefer the known brands -thick creamy)

garden fresh baby potatoes (today it was red /yellow ) quartered

diced tomato, green pepper, red pepper *(Pizza topping from the fresh veggie shop near by)

seasoned with pink salt, minced and diced garlic and ginger.

The oxtail is such a rich meat, so delicious and tender, I did not add a lot of other spices I wanted the flavour of the beef.

The aroma as it simmered overnight was ..”heavenly” The taste this morning is “divine”

Don’t rush or allow yourself to get flustered

When you rush, it limits your ability to pay attention to detail, and often leads to careless mistakes. With a prayerful mind, take a deep breath and act calmly.

PL2016.22

Trust in the rhythms of life.

Oyashikiri

soup was made using my wok

  • why prepared pizza topping – at FarmBoy (fresh produce store) they prepare this every day for customers… and for a single person on my own, buying a whole lot of veggies means I have a lot of waste… this way the produce is freshly made every day and I don’t have an excess of veggies going to waste in my fridge.

To do, or not to do, there is only one way!

Although we may have many choices in front of us, in the end we must all make a single decision. Once you have made up your mind, move forward without hesitation.

This message is one that needs repeating. How often do we rush into something, and find that ..maybe, just maybe…. we should have, could have waited.

Oyashikiri

Was a month yesterday, I have been living in an apartment, what a change, and what a blessing. I learned how valuable friends are, and how life without them would be very empty. Friends are precious gifts.

Till soon

weather

It is hot, it is humid, not a breeze to be had, it is the kind of day you want to conserve your energy. If possible it was the kind of day to stay inside and catch up on activities that will allow you to be comfortable .. I had visitors today, in both cases, they brought food…. I didn’t have to cook… it was wonderful…. I had made a soup… my Dad was very firm, when I found it hot, his remedy was a nice bowl of hot soup. That or on the odd occasion I was allowed a cup of tea. Being the eldest I was not allowed coffee, tea, sweets, etc. To this day I am grateful, I have never had a sweet tooth, or a desire to drink pop, soft drinks, or alcohol beverages. So, when I got in from getting gas and a few necessities, I made a chicken soup with pure bone broth, veggies, and beans. Old fashion remedy, but it worked, What have you been doing to cope with the heat we have had this summer

Start today with a fresh outlook

Even though people and situations may look the same, they are constantly changing. Start each day with a fresh mind.

PL 2022.17

Oyashikiri

tomorrow I will have been in the apartment one month – the only constant in life is change.

Does anyone recognize this mask? What came to mind for me was a crow/raven – bird spirit? (West coast?)(totem pole)

You can only change yourself

Before you start telling people how they should do things. think of how you can be more flexible.
