totally silly

did you know there are moments that come and go… and tho’ you don’t really recall doing something the reminder of that forgotten moment is still around.

there are times, when you just don’t know what happened, how a situation came to be. but… there it is…. and you know there is nothing that you will do to change it.

You have seen this before, but here it is again, hope springs eternal, some days, the mind functions with great effectiveness, other times, there are times, a mind that is quiet .. is best.

If you’ve read this far, I’m headed back to Japan in July, to the searing heat of a Japanese summer. Looking forward to seeing what pictures I will be able to gather, when I’m not attending a lectures,class or in prayer.

take 2 and rest

take two Friday’s and rest

Friday, for me is like the rest

every day is a holiday

when you like what you do

and enjoy the challenges of the day

your days and weeks

are enjoyable and great

one ring e dingie

two ring e dingies

hi, can you come out and play

today

distance doesn’t keep friendships away

it in fact can bring them closer

true friendship

enables is lasting

and so rewarding

spiritually, emotionally you thrive

PL Precept # 11 Always be with God

when we live expressing ourselves

with love in our hearts

PL Precept #1 Life is Art

becomes our way of life

I once sat down with a wood burning tool and enjoyed the moment

now, I can’t even tell you where this piece is

live the moment, enjoy the experience

then, let it go

material things, will come and go

true love

is with us forever

Thursday doors 6.9.16

Doors for Norm

some doors will no longer close

when we look inside

we see the remnants of what was

meanwhile

other doors

are salvaged and become

a work of art

one door has been left to decay

another lived to

see and brighten another day

doors reflect a lot of things

that is why

so many of us

love our doors.

HAPPY THURSDAY EVERYONE

Chop Suey today 6.8.16

The definition of staple in the dictionary is = a main or important part of something.. this applies to many things in our lives. As life has rolled along over the past years, with technology becoming more and more a part of our day to day lives. One place and company that has become a staple in my life is “Staples” or known on the Quebec side as Bureau en Gros.

Almost every Staples that I have gone into, whether here or in the USA have shown friendly staff, and good customer service. Our local Staples. is at 1233 Donald Street at St. Laurent. Ottawa, Ontario. They look after my computer, iPad and any other technical dilemma I come up against Thank you, Tom, Matt and Aaron This location may be the smallest in the area, but it is always busy, people are always coming in, why.. cuz they may be small, but they give Excellent customer service. They do every thing they can to help you resolve your problem and/or find what you need.

While I am saying thank you, I want to include a restaurant that I can visit, and know that I will enjoy the buffet. the Eclipse has two locations, one in Ottawa on Innes Road, Depending on when you want to go, Reservations are helpful if you want to ensure a table. the other store is in Burlington www.eclipseasiancuisine.com

Art is in the eye of the beholder. the setting, the metal, tires left to bake in the sun, the lush green that is carpeting the area. It was like a walk in my own private garden. There were birds singing in the trees, just enough of a breeze that the vegetation danced lazily against the rusting metal. Have you ever tried to capture all the different colours of rust. Here the metal parts and pieces, all became works of art, just for me.

Today, I give thanks for all in life that makes me happy, and brings interest and flavour to my days. For sure the people in my life are awesome, always a smile, always a lending or helping hand. Life is good. Happiness shared, is so satisfying … Till next visit, thank you for dropping by.

Namaste – Oyashikiri

chop suey Friday 6.3.2016

I’ve been days in trying to get this picture into a format that I could share with you. It was taken the first day out with my new camera, I was so chuffed at getting to the water where the Queen’s swans had been released for the summer touring. There they were, so lovely so elegant. Snap snap and yes they were on the camera, BUT when I got home and tried to put them on the computer…nothing.

The fault was mine, not the camera, I had not read through the instructions.. (yes, I know that there are those smiling and tsk tsk tsking now, and you know who you are) but hey, I’ve used a camera all my life, yeah yeah yeah… but not this one.

PL Principle # 7 I will not have a mind to be hasty….etc…

PL Principle # 6 I will not be stubborn, being captured by my own thoughts…

What I had managed to do, was take 3-5 seconds of movie frames.. so to actually capture the screen in a format I could put in the blog, I had to use the software Movie Maker.

Pl Principle 2 reminds me to be creative and look for shortcomings in my OWN thinking and actions.

LOL… I get a lot of practice. It may take me awhile, but I figure it out. In time, I’ll get better. I will because I want to. Paradise is where we find it.

Namaste – Oyashikiri

the more I use the camera, the more I love it.

Thursday Doors #2

a door can be many things

when it is no longer on hinges

it is still a door

whether inside

or outside that door

we really never know

what we will find

doors are gateways

whether coming in

or going out

never under-estimate

a door

in any size

shape or form

Wordless Wednesday, almost

Look beyond your immediate view

a whole new and different world

awaits you

When we make the time to

look beyond the trees

we never know just what we will see

Happy Wednesday everyone!

Thinking of you

remembering how beautiful life is

because you are in it.

Namaste = Oyashikiri

chop suey Friday

When we journey beyond our day-to-day, we come across forgotten places, faded dreams of a yester-year. There are such places, that I can acknowledge and let pass. Two ships in the night. Other places shout out to me, calling for my attention. So we stop and I survey the land, the energy and “vibe” of the place. What is it that makes one location stand out from another.

Same stop, different camera angle. Maybe seconds have passed, maybe it was more like a few minutes. But in the fraction of time my gaze and attention was diverted. The light, the view was different. So it is in life. When first a challenge faces us, if we listen and take in what it is we are dealing with, our response and reaction will vary. If you are two people, arriving at the same time, seeing the same thing, neither of you, will see it the same way, sometimes close, and other times..totally different.

That is why communication, conversation is so important, if there is dialogue between two people, even between two energies, there is compatibility or there isn’t. To be a good communicator, listening has to be one of your most used tools.

The place may seem empty, but…………. the reality is ………………………..it is alive with memories.

Native Renaissance ll

Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory, Deseronto, Ontario

Spent a wonderful time exploring the inside of this shop. Original sculptures, collectibles, jewelry along with music from award winning Thomas B. Maracle. We were passing through and I didn’t get the time I needed to see everything I wanted to see. I Understand there is also a recording studio there that I would have liked to explore, and obviously to hear music that has been produced there. http://www.nativerenaissance.com/

What I did find there, was this wonderful painting that had been done, used for advertising (guessing) and then left to linger in the elements, I so wanted to rescue it.. but left it for someone else to enjoy and discover. Instead I took a picture.

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. I looked and saw “beauty”… someone else may see nothing at all, but the little otter, swimming along with his friends, the giant turtle and the pesky beaver (?) , left me wanting to know more about their journey, and the man who painted them.
