…. buen dia…. a hug? abrazo?

hey.. wow … need HUG

gosh, you look like you could use a HUG

Actually I have friends that would be in utterly fantastic bliss to be out there on a beautiful day, sharing their off road experience with friends, and no they aren’t in need of a hug, they are having fun. Perspective.

Awwww now this is a true hug

wrapped in a warm embrace by a friend

relaxing and just sharing bonding time

What, no? Oh you have allergies, and you can’t be that close to an animal, dog, cat etc. So this wouldn’t be your idea of a nice happy moment…. ahhh…. Perspective

We are all unique in our own ways, and we each and everyone of us goes through life trying to understand our selves and the world around us. It is when we share our dreams and differences, that we learn about someone else, their culture, their world, in doing so, we broaden our own.

Please come by for tea, the door is always open, careful on the way over, it can get rather steep, but I’m always happy to meet and greet a friend, we can chat and exchange views (smiles), visiting and getting to know you, will be a very special kind of “hug”…sincere sharing/caring… is a hug in itself. Blessings.

same to you

This is Tianmen Mountain in China, the road leading to it is often called the road to Heaven, Tianmen Mountain, Zhangiajie is in northwestern, Hunan Province. It is long and winding, the view is amazing, one can only imagine the work and the planning that went into putting this road through the national park. Each worker, visitor to this unique part of the world has to be caught up in the wonder of it all.

There is a hike/climb of approximately 7 miles one can do, to reach the gate itself, (1st picture) if you make that journey the Chinese say, it i the “closest Earth Landmark to God”

The natural beauty of the place has an almost ethereal feel…. I can only imagine what it must be like to actually be there.In taking in the celestial ambiance of the area, I feel myself slowing down, and letting my thoughts drift into the mist. Yet to some the hike is among the 10 top adrenaline pumping hiking trails there is.

And yes, depending on circumstances, and the people I was with, I would consider doing this hike. I mean, wow, what an adventure and a heart thumping beyond words experience it would be. We really never know what tomorrow will bring, or where we will be. Just because we plan something, doesn’t mean it will happen. I often think of the many times I hear “have a good day” and the automatic response, is “same to you”. Do we mean it? and if we do, what are we really saying, a good day to me, might not be a good day to someone else.

Just like these pictures invoke in me a sense of pure delight, they are temptations for my imagination and I longed to share them with you. But…they may not be your cup of tea, however I can hope that you will happily indulge me and enjoy my absolute fascination with this place.

My heart was lifted to a smiling place while sharing this with you. I feel transported to a magical place, where all is peaceful and well…. and…. dear reader, my virtual friend, I sincerely wish the same to you.

enthusiasm – opportunities

This is the Aqua dome hotel in Austria, don’t know about you, but I find it very inviting. Today I watched people jumping into cold water where the ice had been chopped away for the annual polar bear dip (fund-raiser) we are not talking one or two people, there was a large gathering. All for a good cause, they put on their swim trunks and other festive costumes to jump into the freezing water while a crowd gather to watch the antics. Weather here was below freezing at the time of day they took the plunge.

I have since learned that this is not uncommon .. the above was the picture of the day 7 December 2012 (Telegraph.co.uk), a winter swimmer drove into freezing waters, Beijing Lake in Shenyang China.

The Huffington Post, posted this picture along with a story on how in an effort to help a family in Missouri, thousands across the country took a dive into freezing waters across the USA. What kind of determination and hardiness does it take to prompt a person to take this challenge? In our daily lives we might not take such extreme actions, but we do have to gather our inner strength to tackle some of the difficulties/problems that drop in on us.

This is more “me” – a Japanese Snow monkey settles in to a hot spring (Jigokudani,Nagano, Japan) for a warm soothing lazy laid back, meditation, (private time).. The enthusiasm in which we tackle our challenges, can often lead to opportunities that bring about positive results into our lives. Especially when we put our whole effort (Makoto=sincerity) into our actions.

A day of activity leaves us tuckered out and ready for a good sleep, especially when we have applied ourselves to the day’s events, living each moment to the fullest….when we finally find that quiet patch, we can easily lie down and effortlessly sleep.

Good Morning everyone! qu’est -ce qu-on va faire aujourd’hui?

By the light of the silvery moon……………..

Over the years I’ve had a strong attachment to the night, its inky black skies, with dancing twinkling stars. Those of you who remember one phase of my life where bling on my fingers was de rigour. ( a must, never met a diamond I didn’t like ) =^_^=. Like the moon, for me all that is bright gives my spirit a life. Where my friends would drool over the sun and gold, I had this love affair with silver, white gold, and platinum. The night skies could turn my romantic young heart to butter. While the heat of the scorching sun sent me running for cover. Differences…. that is what life is all about… The trick is balance and moderation.

The high mountains of China – Tibet

Thank you for sharing these moments with me… Enjoy whatever you are doing today, my thoughts and prayers are with you. and remember -SMILE – allow your beauty within to shine through, not just with your lips but through your eyes.. Blessings – Oyashikiri

Feelings

Bonjour! Hey, how you doing today? So happy to share this moment with you.

Feelings what a topic to meditate on. What a range , what a gamut of feelings to explore. smiles and send you love….. Feelings are unique to each and everyone of us. The depth, the breadth of our emotions belong to us. We need to learn to own them. So easy to say, so hard sometimes to do. AND, dear friend not only do we have to own our own feelings, we have to accept differences and respect the feelings of others. We all have different ways of thinking and feeling.

Proverbs of Solomon 25 : 11 A word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver.

Sayings of the wise 24 : 26 an honest answer is like a kiss on the lips

When I was younger, this place or one like it was in my dreams, this is where I wanted to study and be, (China, Fuqing temple). I never got there physically, but today I found this photograph and my feelings of yesterday, came rushing back. Value your ability to feel, feelings are part of who you are. Own them, allow them to flourish and grow, even feelings that hurt or are painful, bring a lesson and their own rewards. Trust and believe in the blessings of the Universe. May you feel the love that surrounds you, today and always. Amen. Oyashikiri

Makoto on Ancestors’ day

Good Morning everyone, how are you today? For those who are new to my blog, welcome. Today is the 11th, of the month, in Perfect Liberty, the 11th is a day for remembering and expressing gratitude for the love and virtue of our ancestors. In China and other countries, it was a natural and everyday part of life to honour our elders. It is thanks to our ancestor’s virtue and Makoto (sincere effort) that we are here today.

The above picture, evoked a moment of tranquility from my memory banks. A summer day, visiting in the country, playing in the tall grass, and escaping from the heat by playing by a creek that ran behind the old country store a relative had in the Algonquin Park area of Ontario. For a city brat, this was so different and a totally new experience. When you are young, you simply live the moments, you aren’t analyzing or looking at your new friends with a ton of baggage in your head, you are taking life in, and responding to it with an innocence yet to be tested. You are living the moment, building your experiences in life, finding new emotions, discovering more of the world around you.

In my research this morning, I came across a picture of Betty White (actress) and a loaf of bread, interested in the connection I delved further into the post. “Did you know that Betty White is older than sliced bread?” was the the sentence that went with the picture. Of course, I know of Betty White, I’ve seen her in many sitcoms, but to be honest, I never really thought of her as a person of age, probably because in my journey through life, I have been entertained by her talents over the years, and have simply accepted her as “Betty”. We all do it in some way form or other.. we take someone or some thing for granted….

Today, lets take a moment to give thanks with Makoto to our past, and our present!……. Let us ask for guidance and protection so we can continue to live the PL Way.. (a life of Perfect Liberty) (life with God/Tao)
