samedi – sabado

open spaces – quiet places

the moment you realize

because words are spoken

does not make it real

actions speak louder than words

Kuei ( hexagram 38) I Ching

This is a time when you may meet with dualism in your own nature.

This sense of wholeness in a world of contradiction can bring you great depth of character and peace of mind

PL Precept #16 All things progress and develop

PL Precept # 18 Each moment is a turning point

Pl Precept #20 Live maintaining equilibrium between mind and matter.

People who like to make an effort can enjoy anything. Those who spare no effort for anything and anyone know the joy of making art. Make an effort with willingness. (PL2023.6)

You grow by overcoming the obstacle in front of you, one by one. Look at your problems as opportunities for growth and make the best of your situation. (PL2014.9)

With the heat of these past weeks, and the high humidity, I realized I had to take steps to make changes. I used to attend a Health Club “gym” on a regular basis, going 4, 5 even 7 times a week. It was a quiet place, where I could get in my walking, some biking, light weights etc. and even rowing in. Then my husband got sick and that fell by the wayside. I last attended in 2017, this week I signed up again, and will slowly adjust my daily routine to include time at Movati. There have been changes .. the quiet mat to do stretching has been moved to another area, its a big place,, you can google it if you are interested. I wandered yesterday and found nooks I can have quiet moments in, The fireman ropes are now in a strength training (heavy work out) area where I can access them easily. It should be good for me, I want to make sure I still get my 2 miles in a day.

The mosquitos and biting insects have worn me down, I need to move on.

How about you, has the season so far been good for you. ? . We all need to make the time to reflect on how we are doing/coping, There is so much turmoil and negative energy around these days.

Have a good day everyone!

Looks innocent enough. It is actually beautiful and inviting. However what you don’t see the vicious insect population that is just lying in wait for the delicious taste human flesh and the intoxicating blood that they can feed on. The extreme weather we have been having, very hot, humid and sometimes very wet weather, has been a challenge if you go out into the woods on a regular basis.

Even layered in clothes and wearing hat with netting, you are not safe, they find a way to get at you I had hoped to avoid chemical sprays/lotions and such, but … the itching, swelling welts mean having to take an antihistamine .. so either way, I have to use a pharmaceutical product. There is the option that I can stay a prisoner in my home.. not go out till the biting insect season lets up.. But .. then I miss being outdoors where I can enjoy the wildlife etc. … Choices, eh!

Let’s work towards our goals while keeping a clear vision of what we hope to achieve. Your strong conviction and Makoto(sincere effort) will help drive you towards accomplishing what you set out to do. (PL 2014.2)

Common sense.. but a reminder anyway, there are public washrooms in the way of small stand alone huts. At this time of year, be careful, you are exposing sensitive areas of your body . .. the ninja biters attack .. Use with caution. Just saying.

Isn’t this the sweetest face.. loves his peanuts.

The bigger the task, the more your convictions are tested. When ever you are undertaking a huge task, you may encounter resistance, Don’t give up, and let your strong resolve carry you to completion. (PL2014.17)

Tuesday

Chapman Mills, a lovely interlude .. whether on foot or kayak,

Don’t strain, don’t rush, and don’t be greedy. When you are doing something, you may rush things to get good results quickly. Instead, relax and enjoy the process. (PL2018.7)
