a cow

May 18, 2019

2013-10-29 oct 29 021

A cow waited by the side of the road, my mind began a conversation with the cow. I imagined that I was able to sit down in a field of clover and visit … just me, the open field and the cow.

How calm, how quiet my companion was. The only sound the masticating of its cud, and the swishing of its tail.

Yes, I would like to explore the possibility of such a moment. No radio, no sounds of traffic, just the environmental sounds of being in a field with a cow. I imagine that the conversation would be different with a goat. The two are very different.

If you are going to do it, put your whole heart into it

Your degree of seriousness will affect the outcome. Your daily accumulation of effort towards your goals shows just how serious you are.

wooden heart

The beauty of wood. Too big to pick up and hug, I was smitten with this piece.

IMG_20190514_125630_resized_20190514_115854909

There is something about wood, that even though it is hard to the touch, I feel its strength yet, somehow it radiates to me warmth and vitality. I would have spent more time just absorbing the story lines in each piece, however, time did not permit.

Had someone been around to ask I would have eagerly asked about the now “dismantled” tree.. I knew I could not bring any piece no matter how small home. Thank goodness for my Huawei.

Victoria Day long week-end here. Enjoy the extra day off, importantly “take time for YOU” . Sunday service at 10 a.m.

Thursday doors

May 16, 2019

The fascination of a door. I loved that the lace curtain still hung on the door.

IMG_20190514_125311_resized_20190515_120012809

This doorway was further away, however, I couldn’t resist a capture so I could revisit later.. Had someone built a fort for the children to enjoy, or… was it an old structure, repurposed. The character of places found when exploring other landscapes far from the city. Absolute heaven.

Eartha my travelling companion, shares in the delights of taking that secondary road, the quest for adventure, the joy of a discovery. We did have a final destination and arrived soon enough. But, not before we found another gem.

The past is part of our present.

PL calendar day 16

Avoid being careless or overconfident.

Even though you have put your best effort into doing something you still may have made some mistakes. That is why it is important to always work with a prayerful mind.

Why would someone put an old tire there?

remembering

May 14, 2019

rocking johnnie

There was a time when a restaurant with a juke box was a huge draw. We would leave home after supper and walk the mile or two to our favourite restaurant There we would feed the juke box, eat and dance, Not every place had a dance floor, the ones that had space for us to dance to, were the favourites on week-ends.

For those of us who were around when Happy Days on the telly, it was very similar. We even had the group that favourite the Pat Boone look, and of course there were the Elvis aficionados. Bike riding was the way the “boys” got around, Do you remember the pack of cigarettes under the sleeve of the T shirt? I don’t remember any of my gal pals smoking, but the guys did. .

I even remember getting white socks that were stitched in a way that I could make a wave round my ankle instead of having a cuff? The risky style was to wear your cardigan backwards with the top three buttons undone. My Mother had a lot to say about that.

When my husband and I would remember our younger days, it was like we had come from totally different planets. AND this was with a 5 year age difference. I can’t fathom what it is like for the teens of today. My best friends went to a different school, and lived blocks away. If we wanted to talk and catch up, we walked to a restaurant somewhere in between, to visit and catch up, or sit around one of the parks. In the winter we congregated at the rink. we would skate around and around, just exchanging ideas and having a good time. The boys played hockey at the other end of the rink, Depending on the parish, and the parents, sometimes a second rink was made up for those who wanted just to skate, and practice jumps and twirls.

The Tree 5.20.17

PL Precept #1.. Life is Art.

These past weeks, remember my husbands last weeks on earth, I have been doing a lot of remembering, thinking, musing, Memories remain, the heart still aches, life goes on. I live to discover another day. Tomorrow it will be exactly one year. One full year.

PL Precept # 16 All things progress and develop.

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

A big thank you to my family and friends, I appreciate you, each and everyone of you.

mourning – Ancestors day

May 11, 2019

a lighthouse in the rain

My mind still talks to you

my heart still looks for you

My soul knows you are at peace

I thank God for having had you

but I still miss you so much!

My niece knew yesterday that I was in having a difficult time… she sent me this quote she found on all-great quotes.com. I saw it only this morning. and yes, the above is all so true.

Ancestors day is celebrated on the 11th of every month in PL Today is the 11th. Service is at 10 a.m.

PL calendar day 11 – Remember to be thankful and humble. Appreciate the Makoto (sincerity) of the people who came before you.

But let there be spaces in your togetherness and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love. Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls Khalil Gibran

PL calendar day 10

When you are not having fun, could it be because you re being lazy? Sometimes you feel blue or can’t seem to find the joy in doing anything. At times like this, just get up and move your body or work your mind to the fullest extent.

If sadness and lack of hope knock I your heart – try to do something positive for someone else.

Day 8 of the PL calendar

First accept Everything

Life is filled with moments, sometimes happy and at times inconvenient. It is important to first accept every situation as it occurs and try to accept and understand it for what it is.

Bom dia!! Greetings on another bright sunny morning. Mid week already, where doe the time go.

It was fantastic day yesterday to travel the roads, the trees along the highway are starting to bud, I could feel the anticipation in every direction. The water levels were still very high as we approached the West Island (heading into Montreal). We observed that the water was still half way up the trees that would usually be above the water line on dry land.

Please take time to remember that tho’ the weather is currently dry, there are thousands who have suffered severe water damage over the last weeks, and need our prayers. Not just a few, but many people have lost year of memories and accumulated treasures, and are finding themselves in a place of sadness with weeks and months of rebuilding and hard work just to regain a sense of “normal”

Life is a succession of lessons, which must be lived to be understood– Ralph Waldo Emerson

face, 5.4.19

What happens when you have time on your hands nd you want to recycle an onion bag. I go into my workshop and play, Meet Ms Onion, she is now waiting for her transformation, when I have time to spend time with her in the “makeup” room.

Good morning everyone! How lovely to see so many smiling faces yesterday at service. Our new Hokyoshi from Brazil, Yoshizumi Terada was our master of ceremonies, when it came time to sing, we all got to enjoy Com Quem Contar with dance movements. It was a DELIGHT. Thank you Yoshi. Another Brazilian member Kaiser Lette Bueno added his voice to the song. “Andei, Andei E encontrei Oshieoya Sama, Oshieoya Sama.

Com Quem Contar has to be the most joyful song, I love it. In English the title is Who to Trust.

Perfect Liberty, day 6 Past, Present or Future, Always remember to be sincere and honest

At any time, the place where you are standing t that moment is the stage upon which you must express yourself. At each moment in time, there is sure to be a way to express yourself in relation to your position or status

Take note – Saturday May 11, service at 10 a.m. Ancestors Day

Sunday, May 12th. is Mother’s Day, service is at 10 a.m.

MCG demo 2

May 5, 2019

demo 2 mcg 5.2.19

Happy May 5th. Bom dia!

Another mixed media done for demo. The idea with a demo of new and old products is to show artists, budding new crafters and seasoned expressionist how to use some of the newer products that are arriving on the market daily. Yes you an see YouTube videos but a video isn’t something you can touch, feel and at the same time, have knoledegable staff who can and will help if you have questions.

I know that there are many who prefer to deal online for supplies, and if you know the product, and the supplier, have a particular way of working, and are not going to deviate from what you know.. then go for it.

My experience is that when I am in a creative mood, or am working on an idea, I want and need my inventory handy. Part of the creative process in mixed media is to be open to new possibilities. The demo -before- during prep.. sometimes, what is down could be up =^_^= Abstract work, is lived in the moment.

demo mcg 2,5219 The beauty of abstract mixed media… given the same products, no two pieces will come out the same. How perfect is that. We are all unique … talented and beautiful.

PL calendar day 5 Start by thinking “this is interesting”

Even when you are dealing with a difficult situation, it is important to find something interesting about it. From there, you will be blessed with wisdom and something new will come of it.

My bargain tulips are blooming…
