Drudgery ?

d4b2c1af36e8945186dfcb4122c5ca16Life can become repetitive, yes it can, the same old routine, same people, same tired old jokes, same complaints, and boy are their negatives.  It seems that the whole day is spent dealing with the problems of others, or the dissatisfaction(s), you yourself are experiencing.

It is true that often our lives are regulated, or for whatever reason, our days are compartmentalized.  We develop routines, we make or are put on a schedule, this leads to deadlines, objectives, goals, and on and on it goes.  What we do is monitored, evaluated, assessed and rated.

What we eat, the cars we drive, the clothes we wear, everything it seems comes off some kind of production line, assembly line, processing station, and yet we don’t know or realize that we have let our own lives replicate a mechanical and programmed “lifestyle”

Oophs, what happened here, LOL … a time shift, this was a picture taken for a community post by Nat Fabman in 1954 (Life Magazine) of a Fresno dairy farmer (Arch Badertscher) milking his cows alongside his two farm cats, Blackie and Brownie.  A little playfulness in the day, sort of gives a warm fuzzy, and a bit of a smile.  The first few pictures, didn’t do much for you did they?

Sometimes, NO, not sometimes, on a regular basis, we have to STOP and get off the treadmill, and get out to explore, and smell the roses(flowers} no one else can do it for us.  When we repeatedly do the same things day after day, life gets stale, and we find ourselves in a rut.

Usually the fences and walls we find around us, were man-made (look in the mirror).  John Wayne was said to have started his day by saying,”yes, looks likes it is going to be another fine day” no matter what… begin your day in a positive way, and work towards carrying that thought with you throughout the day.

happiness, mine or yours

ae00acd08d2a949f2b824d0d600728bd

Sometimes we have to decide

which path will lead to our own happiness

we want to please, or accommodate

but know that in doing so

we will chip away at our own sense of Self

and well BEing

I acknowledge it and move on

I can appreciate what was,

but I move in the direction that will nurture my spiritual needs

PL  Precept # 20      Live Maintaining Equilibrium Between Mind and Matter

It can be sad when friendships end,

but if you remember the good in what was

the happiness is always be

we don’t stop caring because a person turns away

love is unconditional

however, we sometimes have to accept

that the other person’s needs

were not something you could provide

you can only love them and pray for their happiness

I hope you take a moment to watch the above video clip.  This was information that I had not known, and on seeing it and hearing it, I had to pause in my day to reflect on just what it was that this documentary was saying.  I’m sure that I will still be thinking about it for some tine to come.  I have always had a fascination with wolves, and other wildlife, the same as I feel that we are one with Nature, I believe that any other living being/creature is also part of this world that I inhabit and that we are all connected in one way or another.

Faith

f074a2327642ae68f5cc2a51e04c1c5b

Some days we climb the stairs to our destination

without a thought or glance

at the world that surrounds us

we hurry, we let our thoughts race ahead

never stopping our chattering mind

till our tired head hits the bed

75148da8b6d4be26d30fcfdedd83f640

we compartmentalize our days

storing memories away

to maybe revisit on another day

a08c405ea1d23c3cc2bd32ff9278fcd6

Time does get away from us

and soon the memories

lie like dust on all that was

and we are left wondering

how so many years were squandered

because we didn’t take the time

778fde46a2daf12422ad1a140b461d76

to cultivate and look after our core

we always wanted more

yet that never satisfied the need

for what we sought

we already owned

it is never too late

to rediscover our faith

f7637a3f536c8005b73e6075b3521d83

we are all ONE

life is for living

faith in our oneness

our connection to the Universe

faith will open the doors

so we can once more explore

only now, we will be

aware of the road we are travelling

and feel the sun  as it nurtures

and makes us ONE

Sometimes no words are needed.

 We need only enjoy what is before us.

 Allow the mind to take in what it wants to.

Assimilate and enjoy.

Time – space

Outer space

 

sin aferrarse al pasado, comience de ahora en adelante

 

ph1-3_1024

The past is the past, whether it be failures or successes.  It is what you do from today, the present, that counts.

Start each day with a fresh out look

Yesterday a friend and I took a long drive, we left the house shortly after nine and didn’t return till about 12 hours later.  We did nothing that could be called exciting, we simply did what we felt like doing, ate when we were hungry and enjoyed time together.  We took back country roads, letting the  countryside roll past us like beautiful wall paper scenery.  We were not in front of our computers, we were actually seeing the landscapes for ourselves.   The day was sunny, the skies were blue, a tad on the chilly side if we were in the shade too long, and walking around a corner, or into the wind was =^_^=  let’s say, refreshing.

Even towards the end of the day, we were both tired, but it was a good tired.  We were able to end the day each in our own homes, with a contentment that took us into the evening, with a positive glow to our energy.

Del sentimiento de gratitud nace la felicidad

When we truly appreciate,  we will find Happiness

My prayer today is that  each and every one of you, has a happy and rewarding day.

Enchanted castle, mysterious, magical

 To be an elf, or fairy, that I could play and dance

through all the many rooms.

 Lie and listen to the crystal waters

dancing and whispering

as they weave through the rocks and moss.

What a dream to weave this Friday

Come play with me

We will explore and discover 

what lies in the long forgotten rooms

We will laugh and giggle

oh what fun, 

we’ll mingle with the birds and animals

that play in the world around us

not a single moment will we squander

For today, we are free

to live the way we want to be

Let us make today

a ME day.

big or small

short or tall

I love you ALL

abandone o apego ao dinheiro e aos objectos -Take the first step with Determination

goat, moutain climbing

 

When we BELIEVE that nothing is impossible, and we  KNOW that we are ONE with the UNIVERSE, our FAITH and DETERMINATION will get us to where we are meant to be.  Note I said, Where we are meant to be, not where we want to go. 

b7b999f1137ccb8c92c62a234514bb77

Knowing this is what you can do, and doing it, is what choices are all about.  when we are faced with a decision, if we hesitate, it is not the right moment, WAIT, when the time is right, you will know it, and act accordingly.

gaots, argan tree

This is  common sight in Morocco, where the goats climb Argan trees to reach their so loved fruit, which to them is obviously a delight to the taste buds. ( fruit similar to an olive).  In nature, LIFE IS.  We often make our own lives more difficult by trying to second guess something, or by not listening to our inner voice, and  allowing outside influences to cause doubt.

Do what is right for you.  If you need time to digest and ponder your life/day.  Do it.  Having a place or space to simply be yourself, and enjoy the moment is a gift, a luxury, a treasure that is yours alone.  Know what you want, believe you can do it, and go for it.

an emotion shared

8cc3b387e3c06baf0f52c5078d860f26

I would like to share with you a moment in history, it was a Sunday in early  2000  “I have to pause a little, reflect …. how am I doing?…. I think that yesterday was a day where I was left with nothing else to do but lie down and escape from the misery, and torrent of emotions that rose and pushed with a vehemence to break free from the depths of my “being”…..

Outside the sun shone, but all I felt was a cloud burst of sadness, relief, fear,anger, a jumble of emotions, erupted and poured from my “mind” like a turbulent stream running a torturous path.  I could do nothing to stop the tears, the anguish…. it was simply a time to “stand still” in my case… I lay down and stayed down…

My eyes saw the lengthening shadows as the sun bid the day farewell.  Then in the quiet of the room, there was darkness.  Part of me an observer, all I could do was allow the ears to flow, the pain to subside.”

“How am I doing”  that was yesterday, this is today  (from the same piece written in 2000)

I’m sure you’ve experienced many such moments… everyone does  at some time or other.  The impact of such a collision (conscious/subconscious) is always a draining experience.  A Jolt from above if you wish.  The day after leaves me feeling l ike I’ve run a marathon… standing still.

There is no rhyme or reason for such “moments” they are part of the integral dance of life.  I long ago came to accept that although I lean towards imperturbable states, the reality of life is “balance” one cannot know “true happiness” without having lived through “sadness”

This is not to say I was sad, or something was wrong, it was simply my need emotionally and physically to shut down, regroup,  recharge, revitalize.

Sometimes chaos and calmness go hand in hand….

So…………”how and I doing”      …. I’m doing just fine…..   

I did my best not to change, rewrite, or even spell check the words I wrote back in 2000. . I wanted to share with you a part of me that one does not see often these days, Its terrible, I seem to be happy most of the time =^_^=, In fact, in and with God, I am very very happy!  The road to where I am now, was not always fun, but it was one I lived and loved without regret.

PL Precept #11  Always be with God

Psalm 23 – The Lord is my shepherd

I Ching – hexagram 52  -Meditation – Keeping still

words/text-by Q copyright Dymoon

It was/is said

That in the sky, the heavens above, there is no east/west, north/south, it is the human need for words and direction, that these distinctions were made.  Then over time, the mind believed it to be true…  Because it was said, does not make it so.

Japan, boulder

 

Buddha  “You will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished by Your anger.

PL Principle # 5  I will not get angry at anyone or anything.

In PL (Perfect Liberty), PL Precept #4 Being Annoyed Limits your Expression,

PL Precept #5 is One’s Self Is Lost by Being Emotional.

The picture above is of a boulder  with indentations, found on the grounds of  Shikoku temple. Japan.  It is said that if one hits it with another rock in different places, it will give a sound of various musical notes.
