lotus root

Wow,,… I got the most amazing rush when I had my first taste of these battered lotus root (frozen ready to eat after cooking)… if you can find them, give them a try, I got these from an Asian grocery store… (I cooked them up in my air fryer)(8 min)

Bom dia.. how are you today! I woke to another sunny beautiful day. In our area, the leaves have already started to change colour..

In another couple of weeks, the world will be a kaleidoscope of colour

Strive to live with a positive outlook everyday

Put your whole heart into whatever you do. With motivation you will feel joy and excitement.

PL2017.20

Driving towards Montreal today, the colours should be a m a z i n g ….. skies are crystal blue,

Be careful not to lean towards only what you like

Live a life of balance; don’t just do the things you like to do or are good at … or already know what to do

PL2017.19

For everyone who asked, Com Quem Contar is a song from the PL songbook, originated out of Brazil, written by Ana Marie Miranda Coelho Rio… it is a song about trust, and faith. In English the title translates to Who to Trust. Thank you, glad you enjoyed it and found it uplifting. If you missed it, it was in yesterday’s post. We sing the song everywhere, it is joyful, in Brazil they even have a little dance when it is song, In Canada, we (I admit) sway and get into it when we sing it… smiles.. it is very hard to not get “into it”. We do sing it in Japan when the International groups convene.. someone will get on the piano in the grand entrance to the International headquarters… and it isn’t long before we are all gathered and singing it…. It is only a little over 3 minutes but we will sing it for longer, repeating it as we march along the roadside towards one of the gathering places…. life is joyful when shared with friends who share in they pleasure of music… Music is universal...

Be happy …. love..

Oyashikiri

Japan will host international members at the PL Headquarters near Osaka …. it is a big celebration and time of renewing one’s faith and the teachings of the PL philosophy .. objective World Peace. Members come together, from all corners of the world.

Instead of candles on a cake, after all this time, a bonfire I thought would be more appropriate. Thank you everyone for your wishes… September is a month of celebration for sure … I think this is the first year in a very very long time I have actually worked.. September was a month of travelling, and exploring. ahhh but.. you have all heard me say, time and time again… Every day is a new beginning.

PL Precept #1 Life is Art

Life is what we make it. I am very blessed to be able to say that in life, I have lived many journeys, travelled many miles, and known and experienced many wonderful and amazing moments that will live in my heart forever.

In PL we believe that everything happen for a reason, we may not at the time recognize or appreciate the lesson(s) we are learning… but

PL Precept # 16 All things Progress and Develop

PL Precept #17 Grasp what is most essential

PL Precept #18 Each moment is a turning point

Whether you are happy or not depends on your perspective

The things that happen in your life are neither good nor bad. It is your perspective that determines whether the outcome is good or unfortunate.

PL2015.17

I have been truly blessed with a wonderful life and thoughtful, caring friends. Thank you!

Are you alone? Deep in the forest, there is a magic that permeates the air, if you take the time, to sit quietly and allow the natural sounds of the nature around you to visit with you… the merry sound of meandering water over coloured pebbles is joyful as it slides with ease over the multi faceted rocks and gurgles joyfully as it brushes against and through the water ferns and stalks of vegetation that lines its banks.

Always there is something to discover, Know that all around you, there are eyes watching. You might not see who/what is watching, but…. your presence is not unnoticed.

Start by doing the things you notice.

It is impossible to do two things at once. Let your intuition guide you and start with what you can take on now.

PL2017.16

Stay safe, enjoy your day!

Remember how you felt in the beginning

Doing the same old thing monotonously without thought will stifle progress. When you get stuck, go back to the beginning and start fresh.

doors

Doors like people come in all shapes and sizes. Like people, some are more welcoming than others. Each one has a story to tell, and history. How willing are we to explore the possibilities?

Always express yourself for the happiness of others as well as yourself

The happiness of those around you can lead to your own happiness. cultivate a heart to always wish for the happiness of other.s

dense

My last visit here was in very early spring, no vegetation had begun yet.. This was not the case yesterday… it is such a pleasure to drive off the busy road, and turn into the parking lot for this hidden paradise. It was later in the morning, there were only two other cars in the parking lot. As I made my way down into the wonderful welcoming quiet of the forest…. I could feel my shoulders relaxing and my pace slowed down, I wasn’t in a rush… I just wanted to drink in the beauty around me. I took these pictures where a path I used to take to the water was completely filled in…NO, I didn’t wander down through it.. I was being careful .. there are a lot of tick sightings I didn’t want to invite unwanted trouble.

Appreciate the Makoto (Sincerity) of the people who came before you

Everything we have today was built upon the hard work of our ancestors and the people who came before us. Always remember to be thankful and humble and continue to build on their past successes.

PL2019.11

This trail goes a long way into the woods, past a long ago kiln works building that is basically now just a shell. a reminder that “nothing stays the same” I hope to go back later in the fall and do a longer walk,

Whatever ever you do today, make your smile shine….

haunting

I took this picture the other day…. I have been haunted by the tranquility of the place ever since and will head back there this morning. See that small white dot (bird) off on a branch … not being able to get closer with my cell… I am going back this time with my camera.. not that it will still be there, but.. let me see if I will use the camera. I recharged the battery… I hadn’t used it since 2023! maybe even longer. I am terrible ..if a piece of equipment doesn’t work the way I think it should I put it away… now I have to decide.. if I’m not going to use it.. I should pass it along. omg another decision to make!!!!

It is important to say “thank you”

Everything that appears in front of you is all material for you to improve yourself whether it’s food people or things. Learn to accept everything, whether it is something you like or not.

PL2020.9

Have a good day everyone.

Roller skates.. .. the other day, when I went on FB to post to the PL Brazil site.. I saw what they call “reels’ and people roller skating. That took me down memory lane, I once flew into California to skate along a famous stretch of beach in California…. that was many many years ago.. at that time skating was all the rage, I got to skate where I would never have imagined, along a boardwalk, with sand /surf for a backdrop… I think from what I saw, it is back and very popular in some States…. L U C K Y !

All this to say, that was yesterday, a distant time in the scheme of things. it was a reality then .. all those years back when I thought anything was possible… I sit today and think of how much the world has changed, yet… no matter how many lives I’ve lived, places I’ve been, I am still ME. Imagine that. I look in the mirror, the face looking back at me is different, yes, the signs of having lived a full life are there.. but it is my eyes…they have changed.. they look somewhat the same.. but no.. if one really looks, there is an un readable depth.. that no matter how hard I try, I can’t penetrate.

I’ve started drawing/sketching again. I will wake up and have this need to grab a coloured marker and sketch. I don’t write, I draw…. I met a young man the other day, in way of introduction, he said, he wanted to meet and talk with me because I was an “artist”. That gave me pause, I draw/paint etc. does that make me an artist.. I didn’t feel a first meeting was a time for me to go into the philosophy of why I don’t like labels.. dear man was spared. I say PoTAYToh.. and you say PaTA..TTOE -( root vegetable commonly called a potato or spud)

Tell yourself “Things Happen“

Even if something is inconvenient, once you accept it, you will be able to move on to the next step.

PL2021.8

Have a good day everyone.. remember anything is possible..

exercise

Easy movements, slow, mind focused on how your body is able to move easily into the different stances. then taking the time to sit and reflect on how we are coping with the day to day opportunities that come our way. That is a personal activity that one should do daily. The world around us is busy, constantly moving, so often, we move into the day and adjust our energy to merge in and out of the constant ebb and flow of what is happening around us, Not taking into consideration the affect the jarring and the noise will have on our own peace of mind, The effects are not always positive. In making time to take 10 – 15 min. in the day to meditate, contemplate you can give yourself an energizing lift. Even 3 – 5 minutes of silence with your elbows propped on a desk.. and your chin, cupped in your hands can produce a quiet calm that gives you an energizing lift, the body/mind relaxation during a busy day can increase productivity and do wonders for YOU, YOU matter.

With a prayerful mind, put your heart into everything you do,

Even when you’ve put in your best effort, you may have overlooked something . With a humble mind, take a second look to check for mistakes or oversights.

PL2014.7

We work better and we are more efficient and effective when our energy is balanced. We feel better and are able to get a better night’s sleep when we are happy with ourselves. There is an expression, “Misery loves company” ….. ….. personally, I’m happy to let the miserable enjoy their chosen way of life.. I prefer to be happy and live with kindness and goodness in my life. it is so much more freeing.. and it all begins with a genuine smile.
