Buen dia, a reflexion

black-white
December 9, 2016
There is a wonderland around us. We walk through it every day. There are magical people that pass us by on the street every day. People with dreams and imaginations just like ours, who from looking at them we would never know that they were actors in their own theatres and plays. Yet at night they could be transforming the world of others with their creativity and talents. You need only walk though a museum, see a window display, every where and especially at this time of year, you will see the creative expressions decorating homes and whole streets…. We love to delight.

There is an expression when you do something, do it right. Well this was not my intent, but, hey, life happens.

The congee did cool down and was transferred to another bowl, my wonderful husband, who I appreciate every day, cleaned it up .. he says I’m the best “mess maker” he has ever ever known =^_^=
PL Principle #21 I will live in true harmony with my spouse

oh no!
December 7, 2016
Oh NO! the snowman exclaimed
I’ve lost my head again
As onlookers turned away
and shoppers kept rushing by
All he could do was gasp and horror
as he saw his nose fall to the ground
all around as the day wore on
people came and went on their way
not once did anyone notice
that the little snowman
was having a difficult day
the fresh snow on the ground
made the parks so merry and gay
there was a shop down the lane
that if only someone would stop
he could tell them the way to find his friends
he knew his friends would come
help him put his head on again 
with a sigh of relief,
he saw his friends coming his way
oh joy, oh happy day!
you’ve come just in time
somehow my head fell off
and I’ve been at a total loss
I closed my eyes, and wished and prayed
and now….!!!! joy oh joy…!!!
I can stand tall and proud again
his nose and smile back in place
he was ready to smile out at the world again.
Life can get very busy, especially at this time of year. We rush from one chore to another, our mind always on the task at hand. While this is good, being efficient is always a positive, however, take time this year, to make time for your inner self, and for the friends around you who may not have the same holiday cheer you are enjoying.
Often someone really very close by or near to you can be having a difficult time. We fail to hear the silent plea not because we don’t care, but because in our “busy” mode, we don’t hear the world around us, we are running on remote control.

shades of white
December 5, 2016
white against a back ground of green
what a lovely picture you’ll see
the fragrance of a flower in bloom
will touch your senses
with a magical sensory tune
white against a sky of blue
a sigh will escape your lips
as you dream of a place
under tropical skies and
lazy sun drenched afternoons
yet white against a sky of gray
can make for a very dull day
the white is still white
but we see it in a totally different way
think about it
how many times
have you looked at someone in a different way
only because
their background
coloured your way of seeing them
my sister painted me a hobbit house
sometimes, I think
yeah, this is where I want to stay
lost in a meadow of sheep
where I can while away the day
and at night, turn in for
a fitful sleep.
everyone needs a place to stay
when they need time
away
from a world that can in disarray

The art of “Storytelling”
December 3, 2016
I am a writer of stories, but the art of telling the story, that is an art all on its own. Last night I gave myself a gift, I took myself off to a magical place, for an hour plus, I was transported to another world, and another time. The voice of the talented story teller from his virtual platform, took the audience to Lapland where a boy named Nikolas was orphaned, and how the villagers came together to look after the young boy. Last night was part 1 of Christmas Story (Joulutarina)
On the Seanchai libraries website, they explain… Seanchai (“Storyteller” in Irish) Library celebrates the Celtic tradition of stories told around the hearth or in the pub to friends, family, and welcomed strangers. Seanchai Libraries bring stories of all kinds to life, in Virtual Worlds: Second Life, InWorldz, & Kitely on the Open Metaverse. www.seanchailibrary.com
The story teller last night was Shandon Loring.
Do you have a picture in mind, of what Santa looks like, did you wonder which of the folk stories are “true” How did all this Santa Claus “stuff” all come about…. ?
Story telling is an “art” .. my time spent listening to Shandon last night, has me wanting to know more about the story he began telling us last night.
If you are interested, join us for his next reading. Next Thursday evening 7 pm. pacific time.
PL Precept #1 Life is Art
Hone your listening skills, enjoy the gifts the story tellers offer us.
unseen doorways
December 1, 2016
I remember showing you these pictures some time ago. They are vehicles to open spiritual doorways to our inner consciousness. Each one has it’s very own tone, and sound vibration.
You can visit this location to hear some of the songs that a singing bowl or lid will make.
Tibetan singing bowl meditation
Usually on Thursdays, I join in, on Thursday Doors, today, I wanted to introduce you to another doorway, and encourage you, should the interest be there, to explore the possibilities offered by this wonderful world of sound.
PL Precept #12 Everything has a way according to its name
PL Precept # 7 Everything exists in Relativity
Sometimes in life, we have to stop.. close our eyes and listen. Words can mean so many things, and how they are read, and who reads them, makes a world of difference.
When we close our eyes and listen only to the sounds… our breathing slows down, our mind begins to follow the sound, we travel to a place deep within, a place that connects to GOD.

a child’s expression
so much innocence
the emotion just happens
as we mature
somewhere, some how
we find ways
to hide or not show
how we truly feel
and in time
we ourselves forget
that the facade
is really just that
an outer face
and not what
we are feeling
at all
PL Precept #15 all is a mirror

naughty or nice
November 28, 2016
Have you been naughty, have you been nice, hear that a lot around this time of year. It is all about perspective isn’t it. When someone is being naughty in someone’s view, he/she could be being very nice and totally appreciated by someone else. Perspective.
We are all so different, so unique in our own ways. That is a gift from above. The ability to be different, so that each and every one of us is blessed in an ability to enjoy and appreciate the creative expressions of others.
The Red Blacks (Canadian Football League) brought the cup home to Ottawa yesterday, they won the Grey Cup.. It is a very big deal to football fans, a huge BIG deal. Congratulations to all you die-hard fans out there.. what an exhilarating over time period it had to have been.

Thought I’d add a bit of warm and fuzzy. Have a super fantastic start to your week-end. Bring “happy” where ever you go.

tag, your turn
November 25, 2016
Life is happily moving along, life is very good, there appears to be chaos around you, but in your little world, each day is a brand new, happy day.
And then, and then, surprise, the magic wand comes around and a little tap, tap tap, and darn, something changes.
jayeshprofitfromprices.com (PC search – computer cartoons)
You get a new computer, because your old, true blue friend, simply refuses to budge, you shut down one night, and it simply refused to wake up. Yes, the new one is top of the line able to do all that you want it to do. However, it is not warm and fuzzy, it doesn’t remember your last dinner for two, it has not shared any real “moments” with you. It is a cold black, metal box.
Nothing is where it used to be, and every time you turn it on. you just know you will discover another learning curve. Sigh. I know, these opportunities are sent to keep our gray matter from getting sluggish. To keep us eager for more knowledge, encourage our creativity.
Great way to start the day, how is your day going? Change is good, mantra for the day, change is good, change is good..
Smiles and waves, good morning, it is the start of a Friday, I’m told there are black Friday sales going on everywhere. Even here in Canada. time to take a break and go out to play.
I know my new friend here on my desk will be waiting for me when I return.
