Sometimes there are simply no words for the thoughts and feelings we face on days when the world seems to happening around us, but we are simply “not in step” The silence is inside … the quiet is loud.
Joy and Sorrow together – Learn how to experience life’s good and bad at the same time.
Things tend to get complicated when you allow yourself to be overly one side.

I can no longer sit like this for hours on end, but I can still sit. and. Sometimes I simply lie back on a deck chair and watch the clouds.
Try it. You might like it. No cell phone, no music, just you and the sky!
Come on… let that shoulder tension go…. imagine being out under that beautiful blue sky… hear the birds off in the distance. Smell that early morning wisp of air that is gently tousling your hair…
Today is a brand new day. Enjoy!

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)
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!
