Sometimes

Look familiar

have you had such moments

They happen in any relationship

This very public television couple

entertained, and made us laugh,

Lucy and her antics where just too funny

at least, that is how I remember the shows

when I saw them when they played

reruns. She started out in movies, way before my time

but knew enough to change over to the small picture box

when it came along/

She went from showgirl, to B movie actress to a

well know and loved comedian, with a good head for business. Sometimes we forget how some

actors worked very hard to make us smile and laugh. They did so by exaggerating the day-to-day

ups and downs that a lot of relationships faced on a daily basis. They put humour into the events

and laughter was the goal, when the audience really laughed, ratings rose.

These two made it look like fun. Of course there was always a happy ending. That is not the case in real life. Many couples say that they work hard to never go to bed with negativity between them. That is not an easy task

I faced an inner battle with myself just recently, I had to withdraw to a quiet place and meditate, think on why I was so upset. Sometimes…. we just have to work things out for ourselves. It is not that …click.. I sat down, tuned out of the world around me, and bingo the answer appeared in my thoughts. Rather I had to pray, and have faith that I would do what was right. Once I made the decision, I was done with it, and it no longer took up space in my “head”.

PL Precept #19 Begin Once You Perceive.

Tonight while working on a project, I searched and searched for a picture I wanted to use. Couldn’t find it, so I used something else. The moment I stopped looking… you guessed it… I found the picture. It had always been there, I just didn’t see it. The picture I did use… turns out was the right one for that project.

La fuerza salvadora de Oyashikiri *

Whoa, hello… unexpected company for breakfast. Wow.. what a shot, the photographer had to be right there, camera/cellphone in hand. Click, Gotcha! What a moment right. Do you know we have such moments, several times a day, we just don’t always catch them. It hits the conscious mind “ping” .. after that actual moment passed us by.

We get one chance in life to live a moment, once it is passed, it is history. In the blink of an eye, you have moved on. Love with all your heart today, appreciate the blessings you receive daily, because you do. See the positives in life, they are in abundance. Believe, have faith.

My son just called to tell me that a man he thought highly of (Larry Lord) passed in his sleep during the night.. R.I.P. Mr. Lawrence Lord. I didn’t know this man personally, but I certainly know his daughter who has been part of our family for many years now. I know the love and dedication this man inspired in those who loved him. Even in his last years, my son spoke of how he loved to sing, smile and be happy. This man knew about being in a happy “state of mind”.

When we live being true to ourselves, in everything we do, with love, sincerity, and appreciation of what we have,giving joy, sharing a smile, a hug…. our lives will be blessed in so many ways. Death is an ending in this life… it means our bodies are laid to rest… a new door opens..

connecting

Caring,connecting,closeness

There is nothing else like it.

It is truly beautiful

to observe, and even more powerful when we participate

True, we don’t get to choose our family

but we do our friends.

That said, when we have love in our hearts

it is there for all to see and feel

a bond that lasts forever

is built on trust, acceptance and a love that is unconditional

Here is your hug for today..

Pass it on…

today 9.21.15

In the shade they sat, comfortable in the silence of a long valued friendship. The years had been kind, neither had much to say that the other didn’t already know, nothing of importance anyway. Love of life, and shared adventures had provided each with memories that settled happily in their hearts.

The same sky holds different hues on a tropical isle, where someone else sits silently alone in thought, Time has no place here, for in their heart, they share a love that transcends mortal boundaries, a love that fills the heart with gladness and joy that is beyond explanation or spoken word.

Autumn the season of colour, cultivation,anticipation and harvest… what better time to walk with God and spend the time needed to rejuvenate and rediscover the meaning and power of unconditional love. We cannot redo the past, nor can we bear responsiblity for the next one, but we can take responsibility for now, and for how we live each coming minute of the day. No two people are alike, yet we are ONE…. there is an invisible connection that when activated, it is a forever always moment, and everlasting.

When our lives are deeply rooted in God/Tao, we are spiritually rich regardless of circumstances.

“I didn’t know I was waiting/lost .. till I was found.”

Inspiration

To come across this colourful vignette

on the forest floor

the magical world was suddenly at my door

I could smell the moss and ferns,

the chirping of a bird music in my ears

I felt the inspiration swell into full bloom

and I knew I would sit and write to you

oh! a visitor, leaped across the forest floor

he/she has come to say hello

is this prince/princess charming in disguise

if I close my eyes.

I will know and feel the love he/she brings

Nature is, the Divine

the fabric and energy that keeps us

ONE

love a duck

I took my duck puppet to church today… I wanted to talk about LOVE, and “ducky” is a good ice breaker… kids and adults alike smile and chuckle as soon as “ducky” makes an appearance. Why the prop, well, love although a small four letter word, really packs a punch, and to everyone, it means something different.

Children have no problem saying the love you, or showing they love you, but … for many reasons, adults have a more difficult time with the word. AND if you have a problem with the word, how do you manage the emotion that goes along with that word.

When you love someone, you are saying, I care, you mean something to me. Loving someone is including them in your life, in your heart, in your space. it isn’t a restriction, it is am embrace.

Love is the freedom to be………………. love is knowing that happiness or sadness is all part of the embrace ……………………. love is being able to share your vulnerable moments and know you are safe …………………… love is knowing when you fall, or make a mistake, it is just a moment in time, that true love is forever, always and everlasting.

Friendships are built on trust

Love is the thread that binds us all

it may be small, however

the word, is one that has the power to forestall

the negatives in this world, to erase
fear,greed,wars and strife

so that, we all live with love in our life

yes… ducky went to church and made everyone smile today!

LOVE to each and every one of you.

What was, is…

Abandoned or forgotten, is there a difference…

On the 11th of each month, we in PL (Perfect Liberty) celebrate Ancestors Day,

with a special ceremony. Through this ceremony, we express our gratitude

for the love and virtues of our ancestors, asking that we ourselves, continue

to grow and learn to bring love and understanding to others in the world around us.

By now, most of you know I love to discover an old abandoned vehicle, and capture it

to enjoy and add to my Pinterest board, the neighbours I’m sure appreciate that i don’t

bring them home to display on the front lawn, or the back forty. Not all of them are left to the elements

some like the one above have been lovingly restored, and are happily on the road again.

We can do that with an object, but with a human heart, no……

Once the love and laughter is gone, and the body fails to carry on

we are left with an empty space, all that will remain is a memory in its place

Appreciate and love .. today…

In expressing appreciation to God in our daily lives, with sincerity (makoto)

we renew our determination to follow and practice a way of life that ensures

our memories and our quality of life in the moment, will be good ones.

Seek to retain focus in your faith and connection with God

Always – Forever

life is good

If you have never lived with a whippet you have not had the occassion to see them in sleep mode. They can run like the wind, jump like kangaroos, sneak like thieves, but when it is time to sleep, they zone,

Humans do a lot of running,moving, and racing about, but when it comes to sleep, many miss the boat.. We might sleep, but we seldom totally zone. Those of us who do, who are able to simply lie down and “disappear” letting our bodies totally rest, and our minds shut down, are very blessed.

I’d like to share with you a true story. A dear friend has told me over the years about how her daughters first husband went to work one day and never returned.

Police were called in and for years, there was a search for this man, The family even hired a private detective. Eventually all hope was lost, he had vanished, and there was not a sign of him anywhere.

He had left behind a daughter. My friend’s daughter and her 1-year-old child were left wondering what had happened. For years they suffered the pain of not knowing. Eventually with time, for my friend’s daughter, she was able to put the past behind, and she remarried and had another daughter.

The daughter, the one whose father had just up and left, spent a lifetime, yearning and wondering. Married now with two children of her own, she still grieved for the father she had never known. In her heart, she prayed that one day he would be found and returned to her, or at least, they would learn of what had happened and closure for her could happen.

In her heart, she kept his memory alive, remember she was only a year old when he disappeared. Yet she held her father in her heart and always in her prayers.

The other day, 35 years later, he knocked on his parents door, a mature adult man, white hair (he had been fair ) with a the question, was he welcomed. You can imagine the shock, the tears, the reunion of the parents with their son.

He saw his daughter that Sunday, she invited the grandparents, their son (her estranged father) to dinner to meet her husband and her two daughters ( his grandchildren).. After dinner with the husbands permission, he and his daughter took a long walk together, to talk and get to know one another. Love is……

Faith and prayer are powerful tools. Life happens … not when we want or expect it to.. But when it is meant to happen.

Sun and Moon

As clear as day

I saw the sun and moon

when you looked into my eyes

I know no other way

to express that moment in time

when in a single moment,

I knew the meaning of sublime

how often have I meditated and prayed

to know such intense and immense joy

suddenly I am so alive

this is not something I can contrive

no, I know… I really really know

together, we are divine.

God is love, we are ONE

remembering

Ancestors Day is celebrated in the church of PL (Perfect Liberty on the 11th of every month).. During and through out this ceremony we express our gratitude for the love and virtues of our ancestors,

An ancestor is someone who you are thankful was in your life, and helped form the person you are today. They had impact and brought positive, loving “gifts” into your life. Many people can bring awareness into our lives, usually we take for granted those who love us, we are so embraced by their love that we don’t realize till they are gone that there is a void.

Love comes in many guises, I speak not of the physical intercourse/ fornication of man, but of a mating that begins in the heart, that is given life by mutual respect and enduring love. Genuine caring. To find and share in such a partnership there has to be dialogue/communication that is heartfelt and stems from mutual desires and a respect for self. Love begins within. . .Love is trust/ faith
