PL Calendar day 5 2019
Start by thinking “this is Interesting”
Even when you are dealing with a difficult situation, it is important to find something interesting about it. From there, you will be blessed with wisdom and something ew will come out of it;

Had to get a closer look. Around the block we drove, so I could really see t his entrance way to a church we saw along the way
Nice colours used in the stained glass…I like the simplicity of it.
——————————————————————————————————————————————-
This entrance was hidden, but I was determined to get a closer look. the building appealed to me, we are trying to get more information on it. Hwy 3, NY State going towards Watertown. It is not always easy getting the real estate people to call us back…
Some of you are really good at search and find, this is the real estate agent of note.. there was another sign, but it was long over grown with vegetation.
OK so it isn’t everyone’s idea of “turn-key” and it doesn’t have the greatest “curb appeal” To each his/her own, right.
I see a ton of possibility, AND it sets my mind to “dreaming” of what was, and what could be…
Never give up on your dreams. always look for the “something” that appeals to you. It isn’t about what others may want, it is what “speaks to you”
PL Precept #15 All is a Mirror
PL Precept # 7 Everything exists in Relativity
ps. I was feeling rather sluggish with the weather today, happy, but draggin.. then I started to work on this blog, sharing with you, I was pulling out my pictures of this latest “find” of mine. I couldn’t help it, my heart took wings, a smile as broad as my face plastered itself across my “pus” this building makes me smile, what can I say, the old weathered wood, the placement of the windows on the second story, watching out on the busy hwy.
The building was at an intersection, the sign was really too faded to read, but we thought we saw the word mini.. could have been a convenience store. Certainly there was ample parking. Yeah life is good. =^_^=
Blessings of the day to everyone… May you find peace and happiness, and your smile shine like a beacon of light for all who meet up with you today.

PL Precept #6 Efface your self conceptions
Show Yourself as You Are.
“What shall I do to give a good impression to others on my first meeting?”
“Show yourself as you are. Just face them with your true self. Then what is my true self? It is simply a selfless, straight-shooting self. When you sincerely pray to God you are doing so with a complete openness without any trace of your showing off. Although you are expressing yourself trying not to show your ego, the integrity of your self will nonetheless show itself naturally and beautifully.”
“Well, I wonder if this will be held in contempt by others?” “From their point of view, they may try to delude themselves by making a false show of power, and making things appear as good as possible. In fact, the more they try to do this the more they lose their personality, nullifying the art of self-expression. So do not be afraid to be held in contempt by others, but just be yourself – as you are – no more nor less.”
(By The Second Founder)

「初対面の人に対して好感を与えるには、どうすればよいのでありましょうか。」
「生地でゆくことである。さながらなるおのれの本体で対（むか）うにある。おのれの本体とは何か、それは無邪気なおぼこいおのれのことである。いかなる人も神のみまえにぬかずいたときは素裸である。そこにはなんの虚偽虚飾もない。おぼこいおのれ、そこにあｔっての自己表現には我がない。棘（とげ）がない。なんともいえないその人の個性が、出そうとしなくてもおのずからにじみ出るものである。」
「それでは相手に馬鹿にされるようなことにはならないでしょうか。」
「誰でもそう思うところから、いろいろと自己を偽り、虚勢をはり、恰好づけようとするのであるが、実際はそういうことをすればするほど、自己の持ち味は減殺され、せっかくの芸術も台なしになってしまうのだ。馬鹿にされてもいい、生地で行きたまえ、君の個性はそこにのみ顕現される。」
（第二代教祖の日訓より）

The PL 21 Precepts are the basis of the PL Teachings. They reveal the true path of life for all humankind. Beginning with PRECEPT #1 Life is Art” – It is these precepts that I write about and live in my life on a daily basis. For me PL is a way of life. Not just a philosophy or teaching. Like the TAO it transcends all earthly definition. I invite you to join me in my travels in life for we are connected by the ONE and only divine energy of Universal Oneness -God/Tao The flames spell out LIFE IS ART

Wandering and Wondering. Wow. here I was looking forward to what I had written back in September that I never got around to finishing. All I had done was the title. Goes to show, I have been kept busy with one thing or another, and for the life of me, I couldn’t tell you what exactly. That is what my head space is like thee days. I’m enjoying life. I’m happy. Content even. I flow from one task or activity to the next, living it, and then letting it go. I have been keeping up with my Long Dash Studio blog, that I do almost every day. http://longdashstudio.blogspot.com . I’m writing a short article each month for the church (Perfect Liberty) that appears in Tone Magazine. http://www.facebook.com/Tonemagazine or http://www.tone.ca
My various personas are all doing well. Qyhat Harbour is now a ginger cat, and has an art exhibit on in Raglan Shire, it will be there for two months, April 2013 and May 2013 … AloToi is CEO of LONG DASH STUDIOS, writer,model, photographer, and Xsa Queler is model and writer for the blog. The blog is now in its 14 month, and we have reached close to 15000 readers, our biggest readership is in USSR, Europe and the UK. You can find us in Second Life, http://www.secondlife.com
We did wander last year, 9 States and 5 Provinces. I must have been going to write about the adventure. we’ve talked of taking off again, but so far, we have not strayed to far from home … Maybe when the nicer weather is here to stay, we will venture out. Meanwhile, I’m just saying Hi… and putting this blog to bed.
PL thought for today.
The value of Money and Things Depends on How you Choose to Use them.
Money and things are materials for your self expression. Use them to their fullest for the sake of others and society.
