True Happiness

Good Morning Everyone… It is Wednesday another day to explore…

Years back while touring on the back of a Honda Goldwing we came across a setting much like this while exploring cliffs along the Atlantic Ocean. The past owners had obviously enjoyed sitting and watching the tides coming and going. The little cabin had once heard the sounds of laughter, maybe even tears.. Today the scene is one of long forgotten memories and charm.

We don’t just happen to be who and what we are today, we developed over time. The moss in this setting didn’t just happen, it came to be over many years, inch by inch, section by section. The scene would have been ever changing. Plant life died, and new growth developed, it is the natural cycle of life. “one door closes, another door opens” In PL (Perfect Liberty) we learn the cause of unhappiness, we learn that things and people come into our lives (this includes circumstances) regardless of what we would prefer or what would be convenient for us. True happiness is not determined by something going well or not.

PL teaches us about Mishirase (Divine warnings from the Univers/God, in the form of an illness, accident, pain,suffering, misfortune. We do not see them as unlucky, rather a challenge to rethink, regroup, we are not “seeing” or “using” our skills/talents with Makoto (sincerity) we have drifted off the path. we may be overly attached to our own thoughts and are not expressing ourselves naturally. we are born with the ability to experience pain, and to know “hurt” so that we can recognize when we need to “stop” and rethink or meditate on present circumstances. An important lesson in the I Ching/Tao > the wise man knows when to retreat. If you are a follower of the I Ching – use hexagram 53 for today’s reading. Chien (Developing)
When a situation is faced, head on, with Makoto…. no matter how hard that situation is, with sincerity of purpose, with the Universe in and around you…..you will be able to find a way. There is always something to learn when we are faced with a challenge. when we deal with the challenges we are dealt in life with a positive and open minded attitude. We find happiness in positive self expression. … Oyashikiri …

SONRIE ES MARTES

Wonderful Ana from Spain has translated my earlier blog… Thank you Ana!

TRADUCIDO AL ESPAÑOL

Con tantos lugares en el mundo experimentemos “el drama del tiempo”, en el Reino Unido muchos están preocupados con lluvia e inundaciones, en los Estados nieve, tormentas de nieve y frío lluvia y en Canadá está poniendo su cuota de “temporal”…. Voy yo y profundizó en los archivos de imágenes y encontré una carretera en Nueva Zelanda con sol y cielo azul.

El martes es un día nuevo, no hay otro coche a la vista en este momento, puedo bajar la parte superior y disfrutar del clima templado cálido. La emoción de estar en el camino, hacia un territorio desconocido, nuevos descubrimientos, amo, amor, amor…. Me encanta ese momento de ver lo que hay alrededor de la curva. El placer de saborear el momento y luego!! la alegría de ver otra curva cuesta arriba más adelante. WOW… La curva más adelante llegará tarde o temprano, pero… Ahora es donde estamos hoy. A veces somos tan decididos a mirar hacia el futuro, que nos dirigiremos por el camino demasiado rápido, saltamos caminos y paradas que son las maravillas y las oportunidades que van a enriquecer nuestras vidas como viajamos hacia nuestro futuro.

Mirar, ver, sentir, oler, y si se puede tocar, conectar… Es a través de la experimentación, ensayo y error que nos desarrollamos y crecemos. Nunca niegues a tu vida “el amor”. Cuanto más amas, más crece el amor, es un regalo precioso. Cuanto más compartes, más se vuelve a ti. Sí, puedes tener miedo al principio, pero cada paso te acerca más y más cerca de vivir una vida llena de un amor eterno al que abrazar y que te abrace para siempre.

El amor verdadero no puede medirse, ni comprarse, ni venderse. El verdadero amor es incondicional, resistirá la prueba del tiempo y trasciende a todas las fronteras mortales.

Rezo por todos y cada uno de ustedes hoy, que tu día sea bendecido con una calma interior y tranquila que refresca y calma. Puedes reemplazar el ceño de tu cara con una sonrisa… El cálido resplandor de la “divinidad” brilla y crece dentro de ti…

Bendiciones…Oyashikiri

follow your dreams

Believe in your dreams, and follow them, trust in your heart, and never give up. Today, NOW is always a new beginning. Every day you wake up to a brand new day, and new possibilities. The past belongs to yesterday, YES it is part of your fabric, it is in the weave of who you are…. but today is new, it is the present, and you only get one chance at it. Use today as a starting point, move forward on a path towards improvement and progress. Cherish your dreams, they belong to you .

Love, being loved, and loving are Blessings, sweet wonderful moments of ONENESS Oyashikiri

Welcome another Sunday =^_^=

In the last couple of years, many churches have closed their doors, Driving in the country we will often drive by a deserted church. I’m happy to say that I have seen none in this sad state the above church was in when this picture was taken. Here, in Canada, and I hope in other countries, some of these smaller churches are being bought and rejigged to house a family and or be a home for a couple or a single person….Whether home or studio, they are reborn, given a new lease on life. In my research it was a rather poignant discovery that there were just so many of these wonderful buildings now in a state of ruin.

From the state of many of these buildings, the changes happened over a period of time, not overnight. Life is amazing when you think of just how many skills you once had, are now perhaps not as honed. Take letter writing for instance, I was an avid pen pal correspondent when I was younger. In school we were encouraged to meet and write to new friends in another Province, State or country. I loved writing a letter, drawing and enclosing small pieces of artwork to share with my friend. Looking back I’ve had several from Holland (Nederlands) with the age of social media, and internet, our letters became less and less as we discovered the instant gratification of an e-mail. Soon my mailbox took on a look much like the above picture. If I didn’t write a welcome letter did not come back. where once my penmanship was art in itself. now my husband has trouble reading my grocery list.

When we stop doing something, the joy/fun and learning from that activity begins to recede, other activities take its place. Are they as fulfilling? Only you can answer that …For me I think I will sit down and write a few letters today. I will do so with enthusiasm, my journey is coming full circle, I am again interested in the Nederlands, and I am reminded of my earlier friendships ones that, shame on me, I let fall away.

This is a picture that someone titled – Determination – it shows how “Nature” will always have its way, we may struggle in life, and feel that we are locked in a place we are not happy with, but in time, you will reach through the windows and doors of your confined space and find open skies and warm sunshine. It is the “Way” (Tao) “God” – What will you do today… whatever you decide to do, walk with God! Be ONE with the Universe.

Friendships like gardens need to be tended and loved if they are to survive.

PL Principle #2

Good Morning everyone.. How are you on this lovely Saturday… Each day when I wake before I start my day, I like to read the PL lesson of the day, and after prayer and reflection, let my mind wander to what my personal meditation should be. Today I found that of the 21 Principles in PL, ,my mind’s eye caught #2.. and this is where it stopped PL Principle 2 reads – I will not have complaints about others, matters, nor the weather. Rather I will always be creative and will look for short comings in my own thinking and actions.

The lesson for those of you who have not read it today, or do not have the calendar itself, is about valuing those who are nearest and dearest to us. They are so close to us, that often we forget just how wonderful and special they are to us. We may even take for granted the love and caring they bring into our lives (smiles) My life is very blessed with a caring,understanding husband who is a real partner in life, and friends that I treasure for the many wonderful memories and the genuine caring they have shown to me over the years. Some friends we seldom see, yet we visit often in our hearts, and when we meet it is if we have never been apart. I saw on FB (Facebook) the other day, that one friend had renovated her cottage this past summer. It brought memories of all the trials and challenges she faced during the first years she and her husband bought the cottage. What lovely memories. (mental note to self) Call Sue =^_^=

Not all memories are fantastic, but all of them were of value in my personal development, in my “growing pains”. It is not only our physical bodies that “age”but our mental /spiritual selves. When we remember to value and respect one another, life takes on a more positive energy. Oyashikiri

makoto

One challenge that always seems to reoccur in my life, is recognizing and accepting that I am not perfect! My type AA personality often gets in my way.As I mature/age I’d say that I’m doing better, at one time I would have been a triple A. I’m working at whittling it down. =^_^=. A devoted and 100% practicing Taoist, I was overcome with a wonderful emotion of community when I first attended a PL service. (Perfect Liberty) I was very fortunate that the minister at the time I visited the church was one, Rev. Takashi Goto. I was never a church goer but over the years I had attended Christian services before and was very interested in finding out that this was nothing like I had ever experienced before.

For the first time ever, I heard and felt my beliefs and connection to God/TAO expressed in a way that spoke to me and said…”The philosophy here is mine”. I was able to have meaningful and thought provoking conversations with Rev. Goto, that expanded and nourished my connection to the Universe. The encounter dusted off some of the forgotten lessons I’d learned in the past, and swept out the dust bunnies in corners of the “room” I was residing int. He had words in Japanese that were totally unfamiliar to me, but explained, I understood. I began to revisit places in my mind that had been forgotten or neglected. My connection with God/TAO grew stronger, and continues to grow stronger each and every day. He would say ” we must put “makoto” in everything we do and say”… he reinforced something I’ve tried to do all my life (not always succeeding)… No matter how small the task, or light hearted the conversation, when we practice makoto in everything we do and say, when a challenges reappears in our lives, we will handle it with a new perspective.

PL is non denominational.

Rev. Goto is now Senior Minister with the church in NY City goto@perfectliberty.ca

Hearts & Flowers

Pure vintage we would never see this today, cigarettes are no longer in vogue, but the artist put together a picture showing a couple showing their togetherness, his arm holding hers, their cigarette tips touching, note that the gesture forms a heart connecting them. OK OK, I’m allowed some poetic licence. LOL I thought it charming =^_^=

Hearts and Flowers day isn’t just for lovers, it is a day that celebrates caring and love. although over the years the marketing has been more and more about the gifts one gives, or tied to romantic stories, new engagements, marriages, and first dates etc. I see it more as a day of love,period. A good friend recently lost one of her parents, which is a time of loss, she and her family have chosen to celebrate their loss, by celebrating the parent’s life. How joyful, to honour the life and the positives this person gave to other during her lifetime. Love is a blessing in our lives. the word itself has been so used and misunderstood, but in reality, it is Lasting ONENESS (with God) and Vibration (energy) that is Endless. Oyashikiri

True love is everlasting -Love transcends mortal boundaries…

Expression

PL Precept #1 life is Art….

PL Precept#2 To live is to express One’s Self

We all have different ways of feeling, thinking and expressing ourselves. The artist that pulled this concept together was “brilliant” When I saw this picture I simply could not pass it by and not share it. Obviously there is a love for biking, but to bring it into the home and use it so creatively … I was impressed, and it brought a big smile .. what a joy it must be for visitors to walk in and find this display. The simplicity of it all … I know a young lady who bikes, she loves being out on her bike, she is a long distance rider, and an off-road biker.. the whole experience for her is spiritual and exhilarating. Much like the feeling of freedom and heart felt connection to nature when one is on a motorcycle, riding the back roads.

We are all unique in our own way. When we live doing our best, and following the laws of “Nature” (God) – trusting and believing in our eternal connection to the “Universe” (Tao) we become more accepting of others’ and their differences, learn to respect each other, one step at a time, we grow towards world peace. A peaceful heart, begins in one’s Self. God is the power, source and law of the Universe! amen.

Blessings to you all on this 13th day of February. Be Happy. Oyashikiri
