Wisdom comes naturally when you are humble
You will stop growing if you have a conceited or boatful mind. Always remember to be humble.

time
Time moves on – nothing really stands still
Think about it, even when you stop physically moving, and you sit down… your internal organs, your heart, the blood racing through your veins… It is constantly humming along…. your breathing will slow down, your whole essence of Being will slow and calm..
Let’s not even bring up your gray cells, that intangible “thing” science has called our brain … it doesn’t consider the word time..
We simply are... we seem to accept that our computers, cell phones, iPads.. need recharging, need extra storage, Pause reflect.. our bodies/minds need attention and care… When was the last time you did a personal update? clear your cache? get rid of obsolete unused and no longer required items/thoughts?

sanctuary
When I need to regroup, find my balance, my calm… this is where I go.. the quiet, the bliss.. ahhhhh
Geese flying overhead, their honking a reminder that spring has arrived. the tapping of one of the resident woodpecker drumming out his determined search for food. All wrapped around me surrounding me in the comforting embrace of nature’s embrace. I’d come home!
I felt strong enough to venture down the trail, it was a beautiful day, still early enough that I had the whole acreage to myself.
PL Precept #18 Each moment is a turning point.
For many weeks I have been sidelined by a “health issues” that kept me away, it was so therapeutic to once more be under clear blue skies, my feet walking along the well worn path. Nature is healing. It is gift that we so often overlook and take for granted.
Have a good start to the week everyone!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder (turkey vulture soaring gracefully across the sky)
Basic Description (alicia ambers/Macaulay Library)
If you’ve gone looking for raptors on a clear day, your heart has probably leaped at the sight of a large, soaring bird in the distance– perhaps an eagle or osprey. But if it’s soaring with its wings raised in a V and making wobbly circles, it’s likely a Turkey Vulture. These birds ride thermals in the sky and use their keen sense of smell to find fresh carcasses. They are a consummate scavenger, cleaning up the countryside one bite of their sharply hooked bill at a time, and never mussing a feather on their bald heads.
I am guilty of enjoying watching these birds soar across the sky .. for some reason, I just love the way they ride what to me is invisible, but … to them… its freedom. They are graceful in the air. (to me anyway)
We all have our own way of seeing the world. One of the reasons I take to the open road when I need to unwind, is in hopes of catching a vulture in flight. I am in a metal box on wheels, comfortable it may be… I simply can’t launch myself into the air and fly.
PL Precept #7 Everything exists in relativity
In French there is an expression, (to each his own)… what do you do to unwind?
Is there anyone else out there who loves watching the vulture fly?
Have a good day today!

Friday

Pl Precept #15 All is a mirror

love
Good morning dear friends … of late you may have noticed that there is a huge posting of new sounds/music that are Ai generated. This one I have added here is one that if you listen to it will show you how it is very different from songs we have been bombarded with over the last few decades.
https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=FTBejXsiS5I
The words are meaningful and speak of love and sentiment that many of us feel and live day to day, but never speak out loud.
Songs like this are being viewed and liked by not a few hundred but thousands of listeners.
There has to be a reason, yes? that these songs are being embraced by so many viewers/listeners …
Please … take time to listen to your friends/family/coworkers… and very important, listen to yourself.. take care of YOU.
PL Precept #18 Each moment is a turning point
Have a good day … you are special appreciated and loved.

Friday
Sometimes we have to make decisions that we would rather not make. We put off doing something because it is not a easy decision to make. We think about what is bothering us, we dissect it, we review all the options, we consider the number of years we have been involved with the people/organization that is part of the equation. In the end, we have to gather all the pertinent information and review it carefully.
PL Principle #1 I will live paying careful attention, putting Makoto into all I say and do,
PL Principle #2 I will not have complaints about others, matters, nor the weather. Rather I will always be creative and will look for shortcomings in my own thinking and actions.
I have been very upset about something that is happening in an environment that I am involved with/in. So upset that I realized that I was not only upset, I was/ am feeling used. In reviewing the circumstances, I didn’t feel that I was personally being abused or mistreated by the situation, but never the less the “anger” in me was/is very real…. so saying, I decided that to make a proper decision, I needed to confront, and be honest and open about my feelings and why I was /or am ready to disassociate myself with the situation.
PL Principle # 6 I will not be stubborn, being captured by my own thoughts.
So I have made arrangements to listen to the “other side” with an open mind…. and then from there I will review my “headspace” again.
Meanwhile I am taking a step back, and will listen to the silence for awhile.
How is your day ? I wish for you a happy and positive week-end.

Tuesday
Give importance to listening, looking, thinking, doing and speaking
Look and listening carefully before making a judgment. Assumptions and hasty conclusions can lead to misunderstandings
