chop suey Friday
When we journey beyond our day-to-day, we come across forgotten places, faded dreams of a yester-year. There are such places, that I can acknowledge and let pass. Two ships in the night. Other places shout out to me, calling for my attention. So we stop and I survey the land, the energy and “vibe” of the place. What is it that makes one location stand out from another.
Same stop, different camera angle. Maybe seconds have passed, maybe it was more like a few minutes. But in the fraction of time my gaze and attention was diverted. The light, the view was different. So it is in life. When first a challenge faces us, if we listen and take in what it is we are dealing with, our response and reaction will vary. If you are two people, arriving at the same time, seeing the same thing, neither of you, will see it the same way, sometimes close, and other times..totally different.
That is why communication, conversation is so important, if there is dialogue between two people, even between two energies, there is compatibility or there isn’t. To be a good communicator, listening has to be one of your most used tools.
The place may seem empty, but…………. the reality is ………………………..it is alive with memories.

Xmas in May
That’s right, Xmas, snow, jingle bells, and all that glitters, that is my world the last few days as I start to prepare for the making of holiday cards for seniors and shut ins . My sister is a long time contributor to various charities and organizations, this year she was able to get my attention, for the cause, and I accepted. Yes, it is not till later in the year, but as all of you who are card artists and crafters will know, to be done, with access to supplies etc. we start now.
With shops busy with current events, such as weddings, graduations, vacations, winter is far away, and many have their Xmas/winter embellishments and card/paper stock on sale.
In some ways it is easier for me to be creative about a season that is on its way, in months to come, because I get to work in a sun filled studio with the temperature a nice seasonal 60 – 70 something degrees.
With no pressure to get something done, now….. because someone else needs it to do their part. ie. know what inventory they have so they can know how best to serve their clients. I can create and play just “chilling”
The picture of the “tree” was taken a few years back when my other sister was up from California, and we toured a “green” area not far from where we were at t he time.
These are the other hikers we met along the trail.
This is a beautiful time of the year, so much is happening in the woodlands and gardens that are waking after a long winter’s sleep. We are so fortunate for our abundance. Today’s lesson on the calendar #23 is Applaud the Makoto of others (Makoto=sincerity) When you encounter good faith or kindness in others, make sure that you acknowledge it fully.
Brinde aplausos al Makoto de las personas. Cuando recibe cordialidad y amabilidad de los otros, admirelos sin escatimar.

PL Principle #1 I will live paying careful attention, putting Makoto into all I say and do
Life is good
Happy, sunshine and joyful day to you all

Native Renaissance ll
Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory, Deseronto, Ontario
Spent a wonderful time exploring the inside of this shop. Original sculptures, collectibles, jewelry along with music from award winning Thomas B. Maracle. We were passing through and I didn’t get the time I needed to see everything I wanted to see. I Understand there is also a recording studio there that I would have liked to explore, and obviously to hear music that has been produced there. http://www.nativerenaissance.com/
What I did find there, was this wonderful painting that had been done, used for advertising (guessing) and then left to linger in the elements, I so wanted to rescue it.. but left it for someone else to enjoy and discover. Instead I took a picture.
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. I looked and saw “beauty”… someone else may see nothing at all, but the little otter, swimming along with his friends, the giant turtle and the pesky beaver (?) , left me wanting to know more about their journey, and the man who painted them.
A journey without an ending? We will never know. If you travel that way, say hello.

PL Precept # 2 To live is to express one’s self
PL calendar lesson 21 – accept everything with appreciation
tome todo con sentimiento de gratitud
Accept Everything with Appreciation
The morning sun coming in through the sunroom windows
caught and filtered by the coloured glass
gives each item it’s very own aura
When we show appreciation in life
for all that comes our way
the positive energy of God
will give each of us our own unique
aura, we will radiate
with the blessing of love and light

“Sea una persona capaz de agradecer todas las cosas que acontecen ante sus ojos.
Aquellos que agradecen mucho son felices.
Become a person who can be thankful for anything that happens to them.
A person who is always thankful is a happy person “
PL lesson 21 (PL Calendar)
PL Precept #11 Always be with GOD
Choices
at the end of the day,
and that day will come
our bodies will return to the earth
we will be free
but often the results of our actions in life
will have had an effect, or changed the course
of another’s life
it is important to remember that each action,
will have, or bring about,
a responding action
sometimes positive, sometimes not.
