looking up

when walking through my dream

it seems, that all I did was walk

I searched, had no idea what I was searching for

but on, and on I went

down corridors, and carpeted halls

even ran up broad marbled stairs

this is not my first time in the maze

sometimes it feels like I’m lost for days

it’s the past, it’s the present

yes I talk to people

I ask for directions,

I’m realizing now as I recount

this tale, no one ever says good day

not me, or anyone else I meet

we are all so busy, busy,busy

how can I be lost

I’m surrounded by people

yet I am on this endless search

I can’t find my “room” my private space

everything looks the same, each corridor

I find, has numbered doors,

1st, 2nd, 21st. floor it doesn’t matter

no door is mine, besides, I seem to have lost the key

what web have I created with my nattering mind

and multi tasked habits

oh please, why do I insist on constantly searching

when if only I would stop, just stop

and look up instead of rushing

from one place to another

looking up

I will see the sky, the Universe

and in the vastness of the Universe

my spirit will find peace

from the chattering of my mind

of daily matters that blind me

to the inner voice with me

that tells me, I need not search

I need not worry that I can’t get home

I am always home

God/Tao/Universe is always with me

I am never alone

I need only stop

and look up.

Native American

The Native American… by the Native Station (this is long, but it is hoped you will find it interesting..)

In researching the Wampanaog for another blog I write, I found that there is a whole community in Nova Scotia, Canada. And, in Quebec, and Ontario… I had no idea. it was rather an eye opener.. if you would (from last blog) a light bulb moment.

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

PL Precept # 14 World Peace is Everything

Learning about another culture, meeting other people with diverse or different ways of life and doing things, will broaden my own world. I believe this to be so. What about you? What if anything did you feel about this posting… I found parts of the video disturbing, but I kept watching and listening.

goedendag, bom dia

Light bulb moments… we’ve all experienced them from time to time.. that Ahhhh moment… that moment where an awareness goes “smack” and we wonder how we had missed seeing it before.. Truth be told, we didn’t miss it, our stubborn resistance to it was just too focused on doing either something else, or wanting it to be another way.

Our minds are a cornucopia of wow, super fabulous, mundane and useless thoughts. Some are very creative and helpful and others not. I like to think of myself as a teacher, I’m bright, I’m helpful I’m a student of life, who applies and works diligently at working to bring peace and happiness to others …etc.etc…etc.. I’m a bright light….duh…NOT

LOL.. when will I learn.. when will I actually practice what I “preach” When will I tame my stubborn nature, my lazy nature, will it every happen. Will I always be like the shoe maker who makes and fashions the most beautiful of shoes, and wears run down uncared shoes him/herself.

In PL we say ” We are all born into this world with a one of a kind personality and Makoto (individuality and unique character) given to us by God.” In order to do this, it is important that we do so daily, focusing on expressing our true selves with Makoto (sincerity)

PL precept # 7 – Everything exists in Relativity

PL Principles # 6 I will not be stubborn, being captured by my own thoughts.

Light bulb moment’s happen for a reason, when we realize the lesson they are teaching .. when we grasp (once again) that we are still allowing our “conceit/determination/stubborn nature” to alter , hasten or remove what IS… try to reflect on the moment, the lesson….. and work to improve… ask yourself why???? why do you do something that you know… because deep down we do know…… that until we do… history will keep repeating itself.

Never let a good light bulb moment go to waste.–

Have a light filled day,

God Bless

excessive concern

There is a saying or teaching in Pl that encourages us to let go of excessive attachment or concern about someone or something. “EN wo Tsukeru”

In one of our books “Live with Passion” by Rev. Yumiko Tsuyama she gives an example of a your couple whose child was seriously ill with pneumonia. They were constantly at the hospital, fussing, fretting and agonizing over the state the child was in.. The fever was not going down.

They went to church and prayed with the minister. He asked them to put their faith and trust in God. After their prayers as they were leaving to go back to the hospital, Sensei surprised them by suggesting that they go to a movie. It took everyone by surprise, but they did go see a movie.

Later the friend reported to the minister, “I was so worried and couldn’t stop thinking about my baby, but gradually, as I watched the movie, I became interested and laughed and laughed. I forgot everything else. After the movie, my wife and I returned to the hospital. It was a miracle. Our baby’s fever was gone”

The worry and “negative” stress of the parents, (EN) unknown to them could be felt by the baby, it unsettled the baby’s own “energy” and impeded the work of the “Universe” True faith is not easy. It is a life long practice.

PL (Perfect Liberty) Principle #15 – I will no do anything overly

Each and every one of us, has concerns that cannot be resolved easily.Problems that could seem trivia to others may be serious problems for you, because you have to deal with them everyday. How you proceed, how you live with your “challenges” in life, makes a big difference. A positive state of mind is something that we cultivate and encourage in others and ourselves.

Live a prayerful life

story… a moment in time

The rain fell relentlessly, it poured so hard that the leaves and smaller branches outside the shelter were bowed in acceptance of the storm that raged. The winds had picked up, and taller trees were being buffeted by the fierce, determination of the gales that blew over and through them.

Thunder flashed across the sky, down below the water would be churning, the waves demonic, What was happening, she felt nothing. While all around her the world expressed her mood, her pain, the turmoil in her brain… she was a quiet witness, unfeeling to the searing pain within.

Some how, God was protecting her from the wrenching emptiness in her heart, from the cold reality of the moment.

To survive this moment, God had crystalized her heart. Under different skies they had promised never to part, to always, till forever be man, wife,mother,father. she gasped, clutched at her heart, the children, what would she tell the children.

At the thought of the children, there was a sudden change in the air, in the mood, the wind/rain seem to abate, she felt the tear slide gently down her cheek. In the distance she saw a golden glow.

The children would be on their way home now, the skies were clearing, she could make her way back to the house, and no he wouldn’t be there, but she would be…. and the joy of making a home filled with love and laughter, void of the frustrations and disappointments of a “dream” gone bad, would be the making of another chapter, in a world full of promise.

Storms happen…………but they don’t last…………….. Sometimes we have to leave the past behind…….. and move on into the sunshine of another………moment in time.

a quiet walk

learning to walk with God

to be aware that every step you take

every movement you make

any direction you decide to follow

will bring you closer to your goal

what goal? maybe you are not aware

that you even have one

but somewhere, buried deep

in the recesses of your inner Being

there is a solid reason

why, even in the crowded streets

or busy by ways

you feel a longing, even a need

at times, for a quiet moment,

a time where you say, please..

give me one moment to myself

we must sincerely apply our hearts to understanding

that God is the air we breathe, the life the flows within our veins

no matter you disbelieve, you are alive,

therefore you ARE..

Accepting and nurturing the person you ARE

that is a challenge we face

Till from this earth we part, with just a trace

of a memory by those who walked along

beside or with us on our journey

the day will come

when our days and nights become one

we will ride the mighty dragon

far into the Universe

our quiet walk

will have begun

Namaste – Oyashikiri

celebrate life

embrace love

Happiness is

you/me

we are

ONE

locked inside, looking out (this read is not for everyone)

Again this could be upsetting.. if you are sensitive to the plight of others.. read no further.

Depression is something that comes out of nowhere, and often it can go undiagnosed. It isn’t till something unpleasant” happens that we are forced to face something we have not wanted to address.

Did you know.. that at one time if a woman was considered to not be taking care of her husband properly he could have her shipped out to a psych ward for an “attitude adjustment”

What the picture above is showing is a woman wearing a face mask that was part of the conditioning. It was believed that if a woman saw herself smiling it would become natural… this was often accompanied by shock treatment. I’ll let that sink it.. archaic ? I’m sure some of us could really get into this subject alone.

I don’t think a day goes by where I don’t read or hear about some very negative incidents that happen in the world due to “”mental health” issues. It is all around us, and it begins at an early age. As a health care professional, we work with many many different forms of “health issues” .. the unease of the mind & body are constantly surfacing around us. How do we cope, how do we adjust to the unhappiness, dis-ease- and negativity that plague society today.

Life is what we make it.. right? Not always, when someone is depressed, anxious, and totally bummed out… they are not thinking with a clear health mind.. they are dealing with an illness, something beyond their control. They are not in this state by choice, they are dealing the cards dealt them. Whether young, or old, when they are placed in or on a ward that requires safety steps be put in place. Double sets of doors. Visitors can come in, and only allowed visitors at times, not just anyone.. Visitors can leave, but they are left behind the locked doors.

The pressures of life are never easy to juggle if you are bombarded continuously with one problem after another. What can we do, how can we help others to cope.. Before we can really benefit someone else. WE really have to begin with ourselves. No one, not one person , has ever been without a negative thought, a compelling lure of self-doubt.. or unease about something or someone. Imagine if those moments had intensified, gotten out of control, IF we had not had someone to speak with, be with, or connect with.

A hospital is a hospital, no matter how nice you dress it up, paint the walls, or clean the floors. It is a cold clinical environment. If you have occasion to visit someone in hospital.. the best gift you can bring, is a genuine love and sincere wish for their recovery. This is a precious gift, unique to you and the person receiving it. Wrap it with a warm loving hug and a big heartfelt smile.

Love and laughter will fill a bleak room with sunshine, and thought you may think it is not noticed.. believe me, the receiver will feel it, and it will stay with them, long after you’ve left.

God,Nature,TAo, Divine HIgher Power, whatever you call the life-giving force within, is without measure, and without definition. Love, pure unconditional love is force like no other. a smile that begins from within and radiates out to the world……………………is awesome. Share a smile today. Please... today I missed my chance, I was in an elevator full of people, and i didn’t smile. it is not easy, I will try harder tomorrow.

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..

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.
