silly billie me
not a tree in sight
just a little bungalow
tucked in under the snow

it’s a welcome sight
when its hot hot hot
unrelenting heat for days on end
with humidity that one can’t circumvent
only please
let me have my internet
xxxoooo
Ahhh another day of sunshine, just brush off the snow =^_^=

As an artist I really believe in expression, self-expression, and how it affects our lives, in what we do and say. This clip from youtube.com arrived in my mail this morning, and I really thought …. wow… I’d like to share this. The artist Glen Keane explains how his Christian beliefs influenced his animation of the Beast’s transformation in the movie, Beauty and the Beast.
There isn’t a day that goes by where we don’t evolve and change. Sometimes the changes are subtle, and other times they are over powering and we feel the experience down to the tips of our toes. For me I long for quiet, caring love that is beautiful and serene. Gentle expressions to and from friends and actually anyone that I meet or come across in my day. Honesty,and purity of heart.
Sometimes, I feel like I’m on the inside looking out… and other times, I’m walking in the rain, or through the sunshine, with the love of God all around me, rushing through my blood stream, I’m alive with the wonder of it all. Powerful.
Then there are the days when I can barely motivate myself to get washed up and changed into -hello world- clothes. The sun can be shining, and God with me still, but, I know I have to chill… I personally have to take a day off.. to do whatever comes my way, but not having to decide one way or another.
This is all part and parcel of everyday living, moving from one day to another. We all every single one of us, has these moments.
The journey of spiritual transformation is man-made, yup.. choices we make, chart our journey, step by step, minute by minute.
The creativity of man with Nature
I don’t think I’ll ever tire of sharing with you the ingenuity of the people in India who worked with nature to solve a problem they were having. Transformation .. following text was taken from Pinterest by techeblog.com
In the wettest place on Earth, the village of Mawsynram in Meghalaya, India are some of the most fascinating bridges you’ll ever see. These “living bridges” are formed by locals who have trained the roots of rubber trees to grow into natural bridges. They are sturdy enough to far outlast man-made wooden structure bridges. Because of the relentless rain in Meghalaya’s jungles, wooden structures would rot away. These root bridges are self-strengthening, becoming more sturdy

Those were not my words back when I was actively working … because back then we didnt’ text, there wasn’t a cell phone attached to almost every household, in fact likely none. But to those who came wanting to learn to meditate, it was almost always about their need to find a quiet place for themselves, within the confines of their busy lives. Young professionals needing and wanting grounding.
Just Be……… so easy to say, so hard to do.
Common when I asked, “Did you get to meditate since we last met?” Answer, “Only, a few times, but each time I was interrupted, or the neighbour, (or children etc.) were making so much noise, I couldn’t concentrate”
And there lies the problem. meditation isn’t about concentration, it isn’t about having candles in the room, or soothing music with a nice incense happening. Meditation is the art of staying in touch with your own personal connection to the “Divine”. God lives in us all… the Energy of Life is the force that makes us all ONE.
If ever you have been blessed with someone in your life where just being together, or knowing that the other is close by, is comforting, and an extension of YOU, that is a special bond, and one that – simply is – We can’t manufacture this sense of extension, sense of Oneness, it simply is. You just are…. and if someone hasn’t had that experience it is hard to explain it to them. They have to find it in themselves. Because a state of peaceful existence begins within.
So many quotes, so many words…” meditation is inaction.”.. do you believe that? There is active meditation for example when one is practicing or engrossed in working out,, dancing, focused on the moment, you are so intent on the moment, although you hear the world around you, it is lost to you in that moment. In that moment, all that is …. is where you are… and what you are doing… that is a form of meditation. That is meditation.. it is you “BEING”

Would I take this journey
Yes I would …
No doubt …
No regrets …
Because I know
that God is always with me …
If I arrived at this path
I would know that it is a journey
meant for me to take …
lessons, challenges, opportunities
they are gifts, that make us who we are.
Each day is like a new canvas
I can’t wait to see what I will discover
as my adventure begins
This morning’s lesson is about, not being swayed by the past. It is what we do now, that counts. When we begin the day with a fresh outlook, We will be blessed with an adventure from begging to end.

And why not?
Why do I have to wait to be flowery
only on one special day?
Golly gee,
the way I see it
is, I really care
and love you every day
truth be told, I like you too
so today and every day
I’ll do my very best
to let you know, some how, some way
in all I say and do
that you are the best ever, and like I really really mean it
when I say
I love you.

Happy July 4th. to all of you who are having a week-end of celebrations. When we were in Upper NY State at the start of the week, we saw many preparations already being put into place. Banners and flags, it was very festive, now that the day is here, I expect there will be dazzling fireworks and a lot of get togethers. Somehow when I think of July 1st (Canada Day) and July 4th. (American Independence Day) I relate it to happy get togethers with friends and family.
If we approach everything in life with the firm belief that everything is for the best, and that the experience, or moment will be one that will provide growth and development,… what a positive it will be,
The days have been full of sunshine, although I’m told that in Texas it is also VERY hot. Holland has been going through its own heat spell. Where I am i Canada, I look out and see the cherries ripening on the tree, the birds have been flying in and out of the branches having their morning treats. Until recently the Saskatoon berries were in abundance, if you drove by you would have seen me reaching up into the tree taking my share. =^_^= Nature provides.
BLESSINGS OF THE DAY

I happened to arrive at church today as the people in residence were about to gather in prayer to start the day. Being there I joined in. It is a prayer that is said daily, and not new to me, yet, standing there with the ministers and family members, I felt a rush of joy at being there, sharing in the morning prayer.
In prayer we are all connected. The bond grows stronger.
close your eyes and reverently pray
that today, you will keep the connection
with the Universe/God
in all you say and do.
no more, no less

Prayer
keeps me
strong and centered
