somethings simply are
one day, it simply happened
I looked up and there you were
obviously you had been there before
but .. somehow.. I missed seeing you there
nature has a way of reclaiming
what man has tried to take away
there is no tomorrow or yesterday
only today
one day you wake and find the floral essence of the bloom
enjoy it while it comes alive
for all too soon, the flower fades
to shrivel and begin its journey
to another space and time
no, not into the gloom
it has come, lived, and gone
no more no less
I am a tree
grow with me

Bonjour, hello, goedemorgen
What a beautiful day
is there any other way
to start a Friday
come on now, I’ll race you to the top
when we can start on a positive note
each step we take
will take us higher and higher
above the clouds we will float
our shouts of hello world
will echo through out the land
a warm welcome
to everyone one we meet
with a simple wave of our hand
a smile from the heart
and joy in our step
we feel free
we are free
life is good
yes you can hug a tree
but please….
I’ll hug you and you hug me
love is the key
love for each and every one
of you…. pass it along
LOVE is for everyONE

fasting
Good morning everyone:
How is your day going so far? I know that many of you are in completely different time zones. For me it is the start of my day, albeit a late start. Lately I have been enjoying long fitful sleeps Yesterday I ran around like a woman on a mission, (that is because I was) I had things to do, people to see, and then a 7 pm Thanksgiving service at the church.
It never occurred to me that I wouldn’t get everything done, I just set out to do it and it all fell easily into place. However, by end of day, I was ready for my trip into slumber land. I am working on my virtual blog which takes days and sometimes weeks to do because I have to coordinate with other artists.
One of the artists is an amazing talent, she does shapes and skins for the virtual world as well as clothes and accessories. Even the virtual name she uses tells you she is going to be an interesting person to get to know. (Lush Meme)
For those of you who are unfamiliar with the virtual worlds, everyone entering into a virtual world has to create an avatar for themselves. Obviously we are all different and our likes and wants are going to be different.
Some visitors to the virtual worlds, don’t really care about their appearance, they get an avatar on entering into the new world, and they keep it, maybe change their clothes to better reflect what they like to wear and personalize themselves. but aside from that they are content to be the avatar that they used to come inworld. The virtual worlds are full of mentors, people with experience and years in the virtual environment and are willing to help out and put their experiences to use to help others wanting to grow within the community. With some it is building, creating the architecture, homes,fantasy builds more to do with lifestyles of the inhabitants.
Others, like Lush provide the body of the person (shape, size of your shoulders, length of your arms, waist, hip etc. ) and the skin,(colour or tone of your skin, make ups etc) The women more than the men tend to want to look a “certain” way, and they are apt to change their makeup, and hairstyles often. Men do however, like to (most of them) want to look presentable, once they find the shape, skin and hairstyle they like they are more likely to change outfits for different occasions, but their basic look stays the same.
It is always an interesting exercise when someone new to the world joins us and they being their transformation. There are many artists in the virtual worlds and some are more creative than others. You have to look around, you have to try the demos provided. Otherwise you will look like the person beside you. In the virtual world you get to build and create what you want to look like.
Now in the day-to-day world, it is not so easy, we are born with our bodies, skin tone and hair colour. changing is a natural process, nature dictates pretty much our rate and speed of growth etc. And to many it is a life long battle to try to fit in to the “social/fashion norms” or Photoshop pictures we have put in front of us on a daily basis.
I have to fast today for a hospital visit tomorrow.. That got me thinking of bodies/shapes, and our sometimes out of kilter food decision and choices…. what can I say I got carried away after looking in the mirror this morning. Hope you survived the visit. Love you all.
Sincere apologies to those of you, who prefer my shorter blogs.. Thankfully I don’t have to fast often. =^_^= meanwhile blessings all, and where-ever you are, have a super grand day. Be Happy.

for more on Lush, my virtual blog will be posted later today.
meditation
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”

Love
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.

When
When in life we begin to grow
We are taught by our parents,
by teachers, and by the life around us
There are some things that we
really take to, that captures our
imagination, so we apply ourselves
and we work hard to accomplish
what our heart desires.
Our passion comes from within
If we are in the right groove
we study, we learn, and we find
and cultivate friends along the way
who share our interests
If there is a connection, wow
there is such an intense joy in the sharing
in the way we move, the way we think
and how we experience each other.
It is hard to know at times
where one begins and where one ends.
Although we are often on our own,
the reality is that in life, the natural energies,
or elements, require a positive and a negative
to reach a ONENESS
If we over water, plants will drown
too much sun and dry soil, will cause a drought
love is an emotion,
emotion has a range of expressions
Life is Art. .. PL Precept #1
When dancers perform, we don’t see the work, sweat,tears, pain that they endured during their practices, workouts, and personal battles they fought for us to see the final product. Their dedication to their craft, is what enables us to enjoy a breathtaking performance. Even the work that went into taking the pictures I have used in this blog, the time the photographer took, the patience to get just the right angle, that exact moment to click the shutter.
There is complexity in all that happens. We tend to only see the surface. Life is an art form, and we, each and every one of us, is a piece of the puzzle in the whole of this wonderful, exhilarating experience called living….
Each and every time we share time with each other.. I for sure, am enriched. Thank you.

Q
– Whether we are happy or not depends on our own perspective. Life is neither good or bad, it is how we perceive the moment, that will determine whether the outcome is a good or an unfortunate one. -Live a life in Perfect Liberty, and every day will be a brand new canvas….

communication 2015
With the technology in our lives today the need to have a telephone available in public places has all but disappeared. Interesting to note though, that in some remote areas, or smaller villages cell phones and internet access is not always easily obtained. Yet, because of the lack of use .. the public phones are fast becoming non-existent. Heaven forbid you get stuck along a country road between communication towers, or in a deep valley with a lot of mountain between you and the air waves needed to work your cell.
With central air, and many controlled environments in public areas,, buildings, and newer housing complexes. We don’t use windows like we used to. Where at one time I knew many many co-workers and acquaintances who went to cottages and out into the rural areas for most of the summer… I don’t hear of that as much now. The back road summer havens are slowly finding less and less activety … the lakes and rivers are not humming with constant activity.
Yes, creative minds are still at work, all around we see the creative mind at work. We live in a society that says, individual rights and freedom of expression is important. AND it is. However, there are times, when we should be looking at how our needs/wants affect others. AND we should care.It isn’t always about what we want, I appreciate and enjoy looking at the above bed, do I want to sleep in or on it, no. Everyone around us, is a unique human being, yet they are all part of who we are… they share the same air, they think and feel emotions, hurts, love, sadness, just like we do.
Some will want to walk along a path that will mystify and rattle your nerves, Yet hearing about their journey and seeing the world through their eyes, is WoW… exciting. You can share the experience, just not in the same way..
This is an experience I would like to one day explore. For years I would drive by a frozen waterfall, and wonder what it would be like to climb the frozen sculpture I passed it 5 days a week, going to and coming home from work. I’ve not done it yet, but it remains a goal. I may never get to actually climb such a might fall as this one, but never-the-less I keep the desire alive by sharing the passion and exhilaration of those who can and have…. Modern technology is such that today, I can easily find and enjoy a glimpse into what someday might happen.
Never stop believing in your dreams. Have faith.

Expressions of our own unique selves
Each picture tells a story, evokes an emotion, thought or reaction, subtle or passionately we will take in and travel to the place we are at the time we view, visit or arrive .
Whatever it is that draws you today, embrace the moment and make it yours. Too often we are so bent on the destination, we do not enjoy or make time to be in the NOW.
