forever is now

IMG_1775

as I walk past you today

I hear only the cicada chirping away in the branches

the black bird has flown out o sight

but I can feel him watching

you see ALL

you have changed so much

over the years,

yet you still look as majestic

as you did three years ago

IMG_1780

I told you then I’d be back

it took three years, but here I am

I am changed as well

I feel like I will live with you forever

I know in my heart

that we are ONE

that forever is NOW

that tomorrow will really never come

cuz when I wake

it will be today

so just like now

this moment,

here and now

we are forever bound

Viaje comigo -let’s travel together

WP_20130802_061

This is where the International members will be staying.

WP_20130729_008

This is part of what we will be doing, there are translators for the members who do not understand Japanese, we wear ear buds

Listening, learning, exchanging thoughts and ideas

This is the Peace Tower, for those who have never been, there is a tour, from the higher levels, you can see magnificent views of the landscapes below.

Reverend Eisuke Inagaki will be there on the 30th and 31st, to do Spanish translation for the Spanish-speaking members,  If you are looking for me, it is best to ask him, he will know my schedule, He speaks Japanese, Spanish, and is learning English .=^_^=

The Church of Perfect Liberty is all about world peace.  We pray for World Peace, we sing songs for World Peace, most of all, we do our best to live our lives to reflect a life of Perfect Liberty.  World Peace begins with us. The title of this post  Viaje comigo is the first line of a song we sing in Portuguese written by Joerge da Paixai and Tereza Onaga, the song is Trem da Esperance.  The Train of Hope.

this is the English translation.

Let’s travel together

on the train of high hope.

Sit here beside me

On the seat of Love

Let’s travel together

On the train of high hope

At each station stop

we’ll leave a bright flower

Please join with me

on the journey of life

We’ll carry messages of

peace and of love

We’ll finally arrive

at the place of World Peace;

The engine driver is

Oshieoya-sama

It is mean to be sung in Portuguese, the music harmonizes with the words, but the English translation is beside the Portuguese so we know what we are joyfully singing.  The message is clear, live with love in your hearts..  share the love.  let us all be ONE.

Windows and doors.  always fascinate, a glimpse, a peek, sometimes it is the door itself that holds our attention.

WP_20130727_010

There is always a hint of mystery, when I see a door that interest me.  I want to peer inside, better yet, I want to step over the threshold and go inside.

WP_20130802_068

I always knew that behind a door would be something new.  No matter how many times I would push open the door, another “happening” would occur.

WP_20130727_009

I will be exploring new dimensions of time in Japan while I am away.  I hope to have more to share with you on my return.  I may or may not get time to post over the next weeks, so know this.  I am going to miss you, each and every one of you who share my world.

may God keep you safe, happy and healthy

may each new day bring joys for you to enjoy

Till soon, I love YOU

Chop Suey Tuesday 12th.

Although I would like to say that life is rolling along, at its usual pace, it hasn’t.  Since my decision to follow through and go to Japan for Kyososai * it has been a merry ride of excitement and new discoveries.  Who knew, that one seemingly every day decision to return to Japan, could spur such initiative, and possibilities!  Not I.  But in PL, it isn’t unusual, and I should be used to it by now, but, I’m not, I ever cease to be amazed at how far-reaching goodwill, friendships, and kindness can reach.  What is coming home to me is that miles do not separate kindred spirits, true connections are universal and heartfelt.

PL Precepts # 11   Always be with God

The teachings of Perfect Liberty unite us where-ever we are.

PL Precept # 10 Love yourself and Others

In PL, we learn to appreciate and be thankful for all that happens in our lives.  There are no failures, there are opportunities to grow and learn.  If one path is not open to us, it is because, we have to redirect our energy and find another way to reach our objective.  In TAO, we say, …… the only constant in life is change …….

When a company,church, group or individual, refuses to look at and accept that changes are sometimes necessary to progress and unite, there is disharmony,  Life can become stagnant.  When we open our hearts and embrace and appreciate the world arround us, we recognize that the unique differences  or really sometimes our own perceptions.

PL Principle # 3   I will live with a mind of appreciation towards others and things.

  • Kyososai: is a special celebration . It is celebrated annually on August 1 with a ceremony at all churches in the world.  Kyososai (PL Founders’ Day) in Japan, is HUGE, people come in the 1000s for the celebrations there, it is very famous for “the Art of Fireworks”
  • Musubi – Oneness, togetherness with Others.

 

the funny was sent to me by a friend, I found the picture adorable, and my oddball sense of humour, laughed at the caption. =^_^=

some doors lead to fantasy and fun

some draw us in because we need to heal

some are a challenge and hard to get to

IMG_0038

others remind us of another time

P1000111

Some are closed and you know that is how they will stay

 then there is that special door,  you know it’s there

and it will always open for you

because, it brings you home.

doors no matter what

size or shape

are there for a reason

LOVE will usually open most doors.

Q

Have a good day everyone, let LOVE embrace you today

you will have a very special day!

This is a sign post on the campus grounds of the PL headquarters community near Osaka.  I remember when I saw it, wondering if the construction happening off to the left, was something that would be finished that year, that was 2013.  Japan has been very “present” for the last several days in one way or another.  In particular these everyday signs/objects

WP_20130802_015

Do I know why, no I don’t.  It is as if something is trying to speak to me, so I’ve been searching through pictures and casting out greetings/messages to see if anything “pops” up that says, “hey look here”  So far nothing, just this strong urge /desire to be in Japan.

WP_20130802_044

A visit now, will mean that I will be the only member from Canada going, there will be a few members from the States I’m told, in a gathering of many, we may or may not connect.  I am surprised that I am wanting to go without the “security” of other church members being with me who speak the language and know their way around.  Previous time in Japan  has shown me that English is not a language many people speak or know in Japan.  But.. it seems there is a reason for this present moment, and I will have to practice patience to discover just what this “opportunity” is all about.

PL Precept #19 Begin once you perceive.

Pl Precept # 16  All things progress and develop

This peaceful and serene place is also on the grounds, day or night, it is tranquil and energizing.  This picture was taken from someone in the party from Spain, I love it.  I am filled with anticipation, yet I still don’t know if I can swing the trip on such short notice.

PL Precept #7  Everything exists in relativity

There comes a time when we have to “let go and let God”

as if it was yesterday

the energy and drive

remains with me today

WP_20130729_008

we came from lands far away

to learn and to pray

what I found most amazing

was that these teachers spoke not one word of English

The majority of the listeners

spoke (Brazilian)Portuguese, Spanish and a very few of us English

WP_20130801_009

we gathered to pray for World Peace

to this day

the energy from this last visit

drives me to work harder every day

to become a better person

one who can dedicate and focus on

living in a way to bring about

World Peace

In  Japan while there, it was hot the vegetation was lush

it was growing everywhere

where ever there was space

the green buds would push their way towards the light

LOVE is what nurtures growth

LOVE is what will see us through

LOVE should be part of everything we do

LOVE is beautiful

Look beyond your immediate view

a whole new and different world

awaits you

across Billings

When we make the time to

look beyond the trees

we never know just what we will see
