Celebration of Life (yaya)

I’ve just come from a memorial for a dear friend, we were so many that many of us had to stand and listen from another room.One friend was there from California, another from Sweden, it is sad in a way that it is the passing of a friend that brings us all together.
Yaya was a loving energy that made everyone she interacted with feel special. IF she could help she would, and always, she was positive and encouraging. She embodied the teachings of PL. She lived them naturally.
Her energy and selfless giving was tireless. No one except her very closest of friends, knew just how sick she was or how often she battled physical discomforts.

RIP YaYa you will be forever in our hearts

In PL we say, artistic expressions are what makes our lives a work of art. YaYa was a work of art to be celebrated!

Good Sunday Morning Everyone!

Good Sunday Morning Everyone!

What a beautiful sunny day, the cherries outside my window are plentiful, brilliant shades of red against the variegated greens of the leaves.
How are you today? Feeling a little tired, rundown, hard to get the old pepperu going…
Come join us for church today, or take yourself out into the sunshine and enjoy a walk in the fresh air under clear blue skies. If it is raining where you are, enjoy the upturned faces of flowers as they bathe in the freshness of the cooling rain.

Life is good. sometimes we have to give ourselves a little boost, but always when one believes, as I know you do….. in prayer and in community, we grow and we thrive. You are loved and never alone. Never!

Blessings everyone!

God Resides in Your Prayerful MInd

God Resides in Your Prayerful MInd

PL teaching day 13 > God Resides in Your Prayerful Mind. In addition to making heartfelt and continuous effort, Let’s pray to God. He/She will surely respond to your Makoto (sincerity)

Mioyaookami -God> is not a person,male or female. God is the power,source and law of the universe. (In PL we call God, Mioyaookami.)

Just as we know that our bodies must be fed, and renewed by having a good night’s sleep on a regular basis, so must we connect with the “Divine/Universe” in a constant orderly “way”
PL faith grows not only through intellectual understanding but through heartfelt prayer on a daily basis.

” The ultimate Tao is called absolute. We cannot know it directly because it has no definitions, references or names. Our normal minds are incapable of perceiving where there is no contrast. Yet is it precisely this colorless infinity that is the underlying reality to this life.“ Deng Ming-Dao

Always look at things that appear before you with a can do attitude and accomplish your goals with strong conviction.

To embody the PL teachings, you do not have to go up into the mountains for hours of meditation. PL teachings are simple, practical and useful ways that guide us in living the PL WAY.

May your ascension along the spiritual path be blessed with many happy memories.

Maturation

Maturation

Soon to be delicious semi sweet cherries, full of healthy juice and fibers, in life, our learning cycles are much like the cycle of a fruit tree. PL teaching for day 10 – Your Enthusiasm Can Lead to Opportunities. – Chances don’t just fall into our laps. They come to us when we are putting our full effort into something.
The cherries are from our garden, you can see the various stages of growth along the branches. If only we could view our own progress as we balance our day to day activities.what would we see. Would we see the various stages of growth in our journey to maturity? In nature, the tree has a purpose, each stage it goes through is committed to the end results. In PL the teachings guide us in living in a manner that brings enthusiasm into our actions, leading us towards a more productive and fruitful existence. Everything we do in life is of value, be open to new opportunities. Thank you for sharing this moment with me.

It’s Interesting Because We all See Things Differently

July 8, 2013

Everyone has a different point of view. Let’s enjoy and appreciate the personalities and differences we all have. > PL teaching day 9

It’s interesting Because We all See Things Differently.

Meet the door. We have an old wooden door leading into the house, my husband has been talking of changing this door for some time now. About 2 month ago, I was painting a gourd and had left over paint. Inspiration hit and I applied it to the door. There wasn’t all that much, but it left this dark blob of paint on the door. Basically I cleaned my brushes by using the door as a blank canvas, or cleaning pad. My dear husband came in and out numerous times, never said a word. Over the next days and weeks, I kept adding to the door, color on color, and white washing it, the more I played with the door, the more I began to like the distressed look it was getting. Still not a word from hubby. This is the door we use daily, it is our main mode of access in and out of the house. He is not someone who misses anything. So I knew he had seen the door. Sometimes silence speaks volumes.

When I finally asked how come he hadn’t said anything about the door, part of his reply was that he was just glad I wasn’t painting the garage door. (Our back door is not seen from the outside, one has to enter onto the back veranda first.) =^_^=

Here is a good example of PL teaching #9 appreciation of “differences”. He took into consideration, my need to create and express…. The door can be repainted at any time.

I appreciate him all the more for his understanding. The man is a gem, I am truly blessed.

Life is Art!
