First Snow

November 17, 2022

There is a quiet that transcends all else when you can stand in the middle of the forest and simply take in the moment. The birds are eating .. they are busy off in the distance, the snow is still falling, you are alone on the trail, everything is fresh and covered in a blanket of white. I love these moments… it was true, roads were a mess, driving wasn’t the best… but.. all of you at one time or another has had such moments where you have simply been awed by nature and her all encompassing beauty.

Start today with a fresh outlook. Even though people and situations may look the same, they are constantly changing. Start each day with a fresh mind.

P10 Lime Kiln trail

November 16, 2022

It was cold enough that there was a layer of ice on the water. I was the only human there, it was a delightful walk, I was able to take my time and just wander in and out off the main trail.

Of course it wasn’t long before I heard the sound of voices coming up behind me. I moved over to let the people by, I didn’t want to be rushed. I took my time and walked all the way to the ruins of the old Kiln. The trail continued on to another entrance off another road… from the signs I could see it would be a long jaunt. I’ll do it another time. I got my two miles in, and that was my aim.

Good morning it is now very early 16th. and we’ve had a blanket of snow… I will be leaving soon to see what kind of pictures I can get after I feed the birds. Have a good day everyone… Today’s calendar quote follows.

Have a joyful day by being a little more creative. You will enjoy your day more by adding a little creativity to your daily activities.

“I wanted to be home,” he said.. …we both smiled because of course we both knew he had never left my side.

Imagine being everywhere at the same time…. the breeze rustling through the grass, or dancing across the surface on deep blue waters… it is not the physical space but the “moment” that captures and teases the imagination The “energy” the “BEing”

“Listening is also a form of expression. Listen with Makoto (sincerity) ” PL 2022.15

Face the speaker, make eye contact and listen carefully

Listen with “full presence” Be in the moment.

Bom dia

seek and u shall find

November 14, 2022

seek with a prayerful mind… each moment is a turning point.

Q's Story Telling

A journey begins when we take that first step, or ride. One cannot discover if one doesn’t take the first step, There are many places one can go, but we can never escape from our own thoughts. By car, boat, plane, yes, they all are vehicles that can take us places. But it is in the silence spaces that we discover our most exciting moments… Once the chatter fades into the background, You can actually hear what’s in your heart.

I realized that if I wanted to find an answer, I first had to know the question. To know the questions, I had to listen, pay attention to my inner Self.

The questions I have etched in my mind, the questions that have guided me my entire life, what, where, why, when, who. One word can elicit so many scenes, possibilities,

I watched a movie about a couple, snapshot –…

#19 Begin once you Perceive

November 12, 2022

When you face difficulties .. start with anything you can do. When you are able to grasp the situation, you will surely be able to notice something that you can do.
Perfect Liberty 2022.12

We can see crows everywhere these days, they are gathering along the roads I travel, I see them in the trees, I hear them… Their calls, and greetings fill the air … Mornings are filled with their chatter. At the feeders yesterday the evening grosbeaks were singing, how can one not rejoice at the sound of such “community” spirit. Actually it wasn’t just the Grosbeaks, the Blue jays, Doves, Chickadees, Nuthatches, and the Woodpeckers were all enjoying the start of a new day… the pesky squirrels needed to join in.. no one wanted to be left out.

Friday…

November 11, 2022

When it is just you and the moment you are in. When the calling of the sea gulls and the questioning crows is the sounds that you hear. Off in the distant horizon where one would usually see a big steamer slowly making its way down the channel, there is nothing but emptiness. This was a time for quiet reflection… I actually parked myself down on one of the benches and just enjoyed. (this was a memory from 2017)

The leaves are gone now, but yesterday was spent touring one of the X country ski trails that doe a loop near where I have the bird feeders. This is done to check for big roots that could be dangerous on the trail, hanging branches that are too close to where people will be skiing/walking/running… trees that are leaning over and could prove to be dangerous should they topple.

Being in Nature is one of the easiest ways for me to “chill”… to loose myself in the shadows and the intrigue of the forest itself. WE all have different ways of finding what “works” for us.. Whatever it is that reaches in and connects with you… try to find some time in your day to enjoy that “space” It is important to our “well being” … to find time to regenerate…recharge…

Today is the 11th. in PL. it is a special day where we have service (ceremony) each 11th of the month to express our gratitude for the love and virtues of our ancestors and ask for guidance so we can continue to live the PL Way. I also make time during the service to do special prayers for all that have asked for and that require special prayers. YOU are all part of my day… service will begin at 10 a.m.

Today is also a day of remembrance – in Canada we call it Remembrance Day in the USA I believe it is called Veterans Day… Silence is observed at 11 a.m.

You can be with God by having a prayerful mind. Let’s pray for World Peace. we are all one big family. Let’s start by praying for the happiness of those around us.

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.

Sometimes there is more said in silence than with words.

Express yourself clearly so others can understand you. When you can’t communicate clearly it can lead to problems. always express yourself carefully to avoid any misunderstandings.

The magic of waking to another day, is realizing that there are so many possibilities, and each one will be a new beginning. I heard the other day that someone had made up a “mood board” they had collected and gathered materials to make up a poster with a collage of inspirations and aspirations. Sounds like a fun project, I am currently in a declutter “mode”, must ask if this is something they will put up somewhere or if it is like a journaling page. It is always fun and interesting to learn how others cope with mindfulness

a walk with myself

November 8, 2022

Today I forced myself to return to Pine Grove Trail .. it has been cleared .. above is what it looked like after the storm.. below is what I explored today.

At first I confess I was filled with a sadness, my feet were reluctant, and my whole body tensed as I made my way through the gate to walk along the once familiar trail Then I began to notice the new growth that was bravely dealing with the coming of winter. The young shoots were bravely waving their fall colours.

I was reminded that in nature, there is always tomorrow, and another day. Out of the broken, devastated remains of what was, there was new growth, Strong young shoots reaching up into the clear blue sky, their leaves a riot of colour showing their pride at having attained a place in the world.

The message was loud and clear, never let a set back, deter you from your goals or purpose in life. It may not be the easiest path, but it is your path, and you are here, live it… experience all of what life sends your way… if you come face to face with it, it is because the Universe knows you can cope/deal with it.

When you let go of what was… you are blessed with new opportunities .. you face new potential … you will make new memories … and you yourself, will grow, you open the door to new possibilities.

What began as a simple walk, turned into a moment of discovery, I feel so blessed, and that you are here to share it with me, makes it a pure delight.

Start by thinking “Let’s do it!” Once you decide to do something and put your whole heart into it, things will start moving forward.

Enjoy the moments of quiet reflection when they come along … Life is a continuation of “now” … these moments will become history, and new vistas will present themselves.
