music

There was a time when we could enjoy quiet moments of reflection, when there wasn’t an electronic device in every room. We basked in the quiet of the day, we sat outside on the porch or front stoop and enjoyed the day/night. Neighbours going for a walk, or coming home from work, going out for the evening, walking to the bus stop, the pace was slow and leisurely. And…. and…. people waved and stopped to say hi.. good evening/day….

All that has gone away. I’m told that people don’t even have time to play, they are always rushing to get something done/finished/started. Hobby, what’s that?

I have been in my new home now for just a little over a year, it has been a transition, from a house to an apartment . I am still only now realizing that I’m still “adjusting”

Its too early to really talk about it.. but I at least have now accepted that the change.. long overdo… was inevitable.

PL#16 All things progress and develop.

This is the one I’m currently working on…

PL #19 Begin once you perceive

Have a good day everyone!

Surroundings reflect your state of mind

Everything that appears before you is a reflection of your state of mind. If you work to improve your mind and actions, then what appears in the mirror will also be well balanced.

PL 2015

Closing your eyes and listening to music that is simply a melody that drifts in and floats around you….can inspire new vision.

Sometimes we need to choose silence over words

Choose silence over performance

the 3rd

Some days come and go in a blur. With the heat wave we have been experiencing in Eastern Canada… thoughts drift to cooler times.

No matter how hard you try to foresee the future, you really don’t know how things will turnout. Do your best and see how it plays out.

It is easier to adapt to something when we find it interesting

No Matter how enjoyable a situation is, a slight change in our attitude can make it boring. Let’s face any situation with curiosity and enthusiasm.

Don’t let circumstances sway your decision

It does not help to overthink things. Sometimes we just need to make up our minds and move foreward.

Try putting yourself in the other person’s shoes

Put aside your own convenience for a moment and think about what would make the other person happy, or what would best serve their needs.

nature

Mother Nature, no one does natural beauty like the gifts nature offers us … we need only look around. Attended the summer Gneiss Guy crystal, mineral and fossil show/sale… to be completely surrounded by minerals and nature’s gifts.. to touch and experience the energy from the crystals and earth treasures from all over the world was energizing.

I drove down to Montreal in the morning, was back mid afternoon. The drive was full of quiet reflection, skies were blue, clouds were white and puffy…. There is something very humbling about being able to hold and experience a mineral that came from half way around the world, dug out of the bowels of the earth and handled by many hands before arriving where I could hold and take in its unique composition.

The fossils are even more intriguing. I was there very early .. doors opened at 9 yet, when I got there shortly before 10… vendors were already leaving boxes of inventory for their shops/boutiques. There was a lot of crystal, but after years of collecting, I am more selective wanting pieces now for my personal “stash”… since I not longer create one of a kind sculptures and jewelry… I can just satisfy my personal need to feed my “pleasure” chest.

I bought/adopted pieces that made me smile and drew me in with charm and delightful designs all completely presented from the earth itself. I did indulge in a few carved birds (yes from the minerals ) there are some amazing artists and creators out there.

I am filled with gratitude for the time and efforts of the artisans, “rock ” hunters, craftsmen, and entrepreneurs who bring these treasures where I can enjoy them.

Thursday

I posted on Facebook today – Age is a number – do you feel/agree with that? When you look in the mirror, are you surprised by what you see? Do you wonder how many times you have looked in the mirror only to see a face you don’t recognize? Would you really want to go back in time.??

Questions that I seem to face on a more regular basis since moving to where I live now. I’ve been learning to ignore looking at the wall to wall mirror in the bathroom.. I decided it was time to cut my hair the other day, so I had to look then… but.. otherwise…

We are almost in the month of July… you ready for it? What happened to the month of June,???
