lazy mind
August 30, 2016
A lazy mind can sit and ponder, wonder and consider her options for hours on end. there is nothing wrong in daydreaming, or taking time out to unwind, de-stress, or as some of us say, just chill. However, often it is after spending hours drifting aimlessly through imaginary and often lingering moments of “fantasy”, we emerge and finding that all the “stuff” we had waiting for attention in the “immediate” world, is still there, waiting …..
Sure, we can make a list, and we can plot out just how we will get to this project and that one, what materials we will need, even “see” it in our heads. But all of this is not getting “it” done.
Maybe a walk will sweep out the cobwebs and give inspiration. Wow, it is so nice out here, such a pleasure to be out in the fresh air. hmmm yes, hear those birds, and look… look at how white and fluffy the clouds are today.
Oh my goodness, look at the time, where did it go, it must be dinner time, and I’ve not even started to get things ready. where did the time go. Must have closed my eyes after the walk, it was only going to be for a few minutes.
Hello Mr. Crow, will you help me while I start preparing for supper. I had a good day, thank you for asking, how was yours? hmmmm oh I see, you were busy with your pals clearing up left over seeds at the neighbouring farms.
Well compared to your day, I guess I didn’t get much done.. but then again, I was “busy” all day.
Can any of you relate….. to my “busy” day, shared with my “lazy mind” ??

PL Principle # 14 I will not have a mind to be lazy. I will not have complaints while working nor be overly concerned and complain about others.
PL Principle #1 I will live paying careful attention, putting Makoto (sincerity) into all I say and do.

Be unique
be yourself
if you feel like hiding
in a tree’

if you can climb the tree
do it
remember though
sometimes
we think
we are hidden
but we are in plain view
careful
someone could be watching you
but then,
who cares,
you are where you want to be
safely up the tree
have a purr-fect week

PL Precept #2 To live is to express one’s self
at the locks
August 27, 2016
Big imposing, a lot to take in. What catches my attention, are all the interesting geometric details, with the fading light, I lingered here and there with my eyes, chasing shadows that were by now long and wide ready to call it a day.
Although my husband and I were both taking in the scene, our focus and attention was drawn in totally different directions. The time was spent by each of us in his own “world” at that given time. The crowd gathered at the picnic tables, were oblivious to our wanderings, and really, that is how it should be…. if you are paying attention to other activities besides the one you are “involved” in, then you are not being “present” in the moment, with the people you are meeting with.
My husband and I are aware that each has his/her own “interests”, we respect and allow that to happen, when we are back in the car and on our way, we share the “adventure” and often get a new perspective to entice and draw us back.
Like the birds, we will fly by and explore another time

what was
August 26, 2016
Sterling, handsome young man, caught in a suit. Would we think this was the norm… we could, he carries it so well. Confident, charming, years from now, this will be what was in 2016 on the day that picture was taken, it will not reflect anything else, but that moment in time. We are often reminded of what was back in … pick a year, any year… What we discover is, that what was back then, although still part of our “make up” is in no way where we are in the “now”
Will this young man remember the day he was off to play golf and was caught in the moment. Maybe. Life is filled with so many wonderful adventures, and we get to live each and every one. I am often asked if I remember something that happened some many years ago. My honest answer, is probably not. If the person is able to give me enough information, I might catch a glimpse of what that person is remembering, however often my memory is not the same as theirs.
People come together for a reason, strangers meet and become friends, or not.. But the encounter is one that often leaves a lasting impression, sometimes, it is felt right away, and other times not till sometime yet to come. When you live in the NOW (present) you are living in the moment, and that moment will be with you forever. Even if you are lost in thoughts of the past, what is happening to you in the present, is still happening, you simply are missing the moment, and that is too bad, why, because you can never get it back.
Like the exhilaration of fireworks, they happen, then they are gone. It is our decision whether or not we go forward, or try to hold on to the past. Whether you want it to or not, life will continue to flow in and around you. One season will roll into the next, enjoy the changes, you will blossom and with each season, your blooms will change.

Thursday Doors – @ the locks
August 25, 2016
Cute as a button, too bad it wasn’t open the day we were there. there was an event going on at the picnic area next to it, but I managed to get in a picture of the shop without bothering the small gathering.
The door was creative and festive. We will try to head back that way before the “season” comes to an end. We did notice, there some of the trees along the road side, were starting to show shades of colour.

share a smile and hug today…

stop and …
August 22, 2016
gaze on my face
see the heavens
far off in space
somewhere in the debris
is a story of days gone by
my soul is free
with God I am ONE
what you see
before you
is physical evidence
of a past
when we live
in the present
we are alive and free
to BE
for our home is carried
in our heart
I am….. now
forever…. and….. always

giving thanks

a pile of wood you say
more a work of art
I’d say
look at the array of colour
the texture and the pattern
of each and every
piece
come winter
someone will find
comfort and warmth
to bring peace
and sanctuary
on a cold winters day
on this 21st
day of August
thanksgiving day
for those of us
who walk the PL “way”
I give thanks
and pray
with gratitude
in appreciation
for all that comes
my way.
