Choices

It is the start of a new month. A new beginning. In PL (Perfect LIberty) on the 1st of each month we have a ceremony, we pray for World Peace and rededicate ourselves to live as peaceful human beings in our own worlds. That means anywhere we are “present”

PL Principle #21 I will live with the spirit of “Misasage” (devotion) working for the happiness of others.

PL precept #10 Love yourself and Others

When I feel one thing, and do another, then I am not being true to myself or to the person or situation I am interacting with. It is not always easy to think before we speak, and, unfortunately, once the words leave our mouths, they can’t easily be taken back.

Let us begin this month, with a prayer in our hearts that extends out to all whose lives we touch. Let us work towards acceptance and understanding when we are faced with something that is unfamiliar to us, or not in our comfort zone. In the end, we may decide that we simply will have to agree to disagree, but at least, we listened to the option. BEFORE making our decision, (choices)

PL Precept #20 Live maintaining equilibrium between mind and matter

at the end of the day,

we have to make peace

with ourSelves

Peace

begins

within

lazy mind

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” ??

Oyashikiri

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.

the look of innocence ?

if you are a pet owner

you may chuckle at the reminder of your pet’s look of total innocence

on occasions when you know

that they were responsible for the surprise

you found on your return to the homestead

the reality, they live their moments,

they don’t plan them,

they just get right into the moment and enjoy it

they are totally baffled by our reactions

to what they probably don’t even remember doing

a child will react to a moment, they will do so, without even thinking about it

either hide or pose, but whatever they do

they do with presence. they haven’t learned the adult behavior

of avoiding a response, or colouring it.

when do we begin to change

and become statistics

with resumes that define our existence

now instead of telling you I love you

I send you an icon

so today, I think

I’ll be an avatar, a dinky to be specific

what about you

really… this is me celebrating Canada Day

how much more innocent can I look

=^_^=

Namaste – Oyashikiri

Service is at 10. see you there.

a silly nilly

Let’s start with last night I had a headache, sometimes, we just get them, and, well, we deal with them right….

we do live in the city, it can ge noisy with all the activity that happens in the neighbourhood

my furry friends did come to snuggle and did their best to chill me out

finally after a lot of this and that I was comfortable enough to sleep

When, yep… the boys next door start to play

we all have our own way of seeing ourselves, but really, I’m so tired right now, I’m going to show you my latest selfie

Yup, here I am, ready for the Dinkyville celebrations, wearing my special all time pendant, got my hair done, made myself a new outfit so when I’m on stage with my bass guitar, I’ll be the cutest kitty ever. errrr …. who is dreaming now.

The end, silly nilly moment gone.

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.

Namaste – Oyashikiri

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

You live where?

I’ve heard the expression, it’s just “a hole in the wall”, but this house in Vals, Switzerlannd, is certainly different. For sure you are not in view of your neighbours, and you are not disrupting the surrounding landscape. I also wondered what the view out was…

This house is in Trassenheide, Germany, and if you think that it is a stand alone, it isn’t. There are many more such homes in other parts of the world. Why anyone would like to live in a house that appears to be upside down, I don’t know, but if you research it, there are such homes, and people do love them, live in them and enjoy them.

This next picture has nothing to do with houses/architecture, but it is an interesting find. don’t scroll down right away … see if you know what it is.

The above is called a mortdsafe and is a unique Scottish invention. It came about in the 18th and 19th centuries to prevent grave robbing. Scotland was rampant with body snatching, thus a way to crate and deter. Examples have been found close to Scottish medical schools.!!

This delightful build in Tokyo, Japan, is by architect Yasuhiro Yamashita,crowded cities, with small lots means that creativity is a must. Home is where the heart is, home is what you make it. No matter where you live or how you live, it is what or where you chose to be … or why are you there. We can enjoy other landscapes, we can travel the world, we can fly, take boat cruises, there is a lot to see when we venture outside our familiar environments. In the end though, no matter where we land, we are always still ourSELVES. No physical distances or weird and unique inventions will take away the fact, that you are who you are. How you adorn your life, is of no matter, when you look in the mirror, it is YOU, you will see.

Tianzi Mountain, so uniquely tall and thin, they were used by James Cameron in the filming of the movie “Avatar”. Some of the columns of stone pillars have reached over 4,000 feet above sea level.

Be at peace

Wherever you may be

For it is only in loving me

The me inside of you

that you will find inner peace.

Namaste – Oyashikiri

Abandoned or lost

Where does the time go. Mid July, soon to be August, it wasn’t that long ago, that we were still in 2013, Mother Time is slowly nudging the dial along, Once upon a time I was a hedge hog, and had to decide, to stay and remain or to stand up and grow, allow and become the woman I really wanted to be. OK OK no matter what disguise one wears, we never escape being the person we are. It is so much easier to wear a mask and not face the day-to-day issues face on.

So do I abandon the Tiny in me, or do I incorporate and used the lessons I gained into the woman I am today. Of course all of the experiences one lives, become a part of who we are, it is a matter of how we assimilate and process life’s blessings, rewards and challenges that make us who we are today. Living in the NOW means that I have neither abandoned or lost any part of me. I embrace all that I have been and all that I am now. I simply AM, no more, no less.

And what am I. I’m a person who is very happy and wants to share my love of life with each and every one of you. Now and always.

Freitag, Friday morning greetings!

A smile can brighten someone’s day, it can change a mood, it can say what words can’t say, especially when it come from the heart. In life , there are days when it isn’t always easy to find someone who is smiling. Oh yes, there is the smile of recognition when you first greet, but it soon turns to talk that removes the smile that had started when you first greeted. Often the smile is automatic, not one that is really felt from the heart up on through the to the eyes. The eyes broadcast a lot if you care to look.

Yesterday I was visiting with a friend who is a DJ. She works in a virtual world, the world of Second Life, her shows can be an hour sometimes two. In a virtual world, you are looking and and interacting with an avatar. Each avatar is worked by an actual person sitting at a keyboard, just like you are. In my friend Sugaree’s room/studio, she is not just enjoying the sound of the music, she is greeting newcomers, and playing tunes, much like a radio DJ used to in the “good ole days”. She is working, for an hour or two, however long she is contracted for, she entertains the audience who has come to enjoy her “craft”. Music being played to entertain and please. Most of the audience is dancing and listening to her venue. The feedback she gets is that we speak, either in voice or text. So smiles are not somethings she can see, we have to let her know that we are enjoying what she is doing.

In the real world, we pass people every day, that we don’t speak to, we stand beside people in close spaces (elevators) and we don’t speak, we could smile.. seldom do we do that either. So.. really we could be in a virtual world, we ignore those around us in general unless we have reason to speak to them, or they are known to us. In the virtual world, we actually speak to one another so that we can interact and find out where (what country) the person is from, and to determine common interests, if any. Interesting isn’t it. Liken it to the “olde days) when we were all encouraged in school to find and write to friends overseas, in other countries or in a different part of the country you lived in. It was fun and educational to find a pen pal. I still maintain contact with people I’ve met only via the post, true now, if we can we do e-mails. Still.. we shared smiles and giggles with letters long before the internet. Now …. we go virtual.

A smile is golden. Satus knows that the little critter makes people smile. He was busy but he brought the little fellow out to work his magic, Smile I did, it was automatic, but it felt real good, I sat with a silly grin on my face and watched while the little fellow went through different programmed animations. That was considerate of Satus. a young man I barely know except through business, he owns a company in SL. Sugaree who I have never met in person, shared her time and her music to bring a smile into the lives of others.. Knowing her makes me smile. She is a special person, I hope our friendship grows, we share conversation, and laughs when we get together and she is not working. Friendships are important,and smiling is also just as important. Where-ever you are, what ever you are doing, use the smile muscle often, It is good for your health!

Rules – Good morning everyone!

Look at the dog’s eyes, I can almost hear him/her asking his mistress “really, did I sign up for this”, this is what you want me to do?” Meanwhile the little cuddly friend is happily drinking from the bottle and thinking only of how yummy, delicious it is. This is a wonderful picture. I send an enormous thank you to the artist that put the energy and creativity into bringing it to us. It brought a smile to my day and for sure, to millions of others who saw and delighted in the composition. Before social media, we were still able to come up with such clever ideas, and take pictures to show our friends and family But we couldn’t share like we do today, we didn’t have the tools to allow total strangers all over the world to share in our creative moment.

Yes we still had artistic expression, we still lived our lives moment by moment, we did our chores, played, worked and played some more, but the element of having our creativity, thoughts,dreams and expressions on display for all to see… well …. that was unknown. Until…. someone somewhere broke a rule, or stepped outside a box and brought new potential and far reaching ideas into tangible possibilities. There is a joy in being creative. Every day I see friends who live miles and sometimes continents apart sharing their day and thoughts with friends they’ve met in virtual worlds, on Facebook, in games.. and it is not just inane chatter, often is is meaningful, supportive and caring.

While we live in a world where there is a framework of laws, morals and rules to follow, the keyword here is framework…. when Divine Spirit is our constant companion and we are always in touch, (connected) love is our motivation,world peace and inner joy our goal, then a rule is a man made what? guideline?………… I know they are needed…………..but…………….
