lingering, I heard the waterfall
before I spied the lush
beauty of your curves
how mesmerizing
even tantalizing
the light on the surface
shimmered a soft golden glow
on the undulating water.
and suddenly I was totally lost
in the wonderful moment
of your hypnotic allure
this magical spell
the bliss of
pure joy

original verse,Q
The use of words is very powerful. Once we speak them, we can’t take them back. A teacher in an English high school showed the movie to his students. He showed the movie because he was genuinely passionate about teaching, and he wanted his students to learn, and grow as humans. It wasn’t so they would rebel, but to expand their minds and open up the world around them. Communication is key in any and all relationships.
Today in PL(Perfect Liberty), it is Thanksgiving, a day we set aside each month to show our appreciation and gratitude to God for the blessings we have received. and to give Thanks. A Thankful Heart leads to Happiness. Two services today, one at 10 a.m. and another this evening at 7 pm.
To all the Fathers out there, Happy Father’s Day.. In today’s society, I think that the day should include all the single parents, who have to pull double duty. Being a parent is a life long commitment.

You never realize the value of a kind compassionate hug, until you have received on, Sometimes we forget that in some societies a show of affection, or a hug is not something that is done. I’m sure you all know or have known people in your lives who simply don’t hug, or show any kind of outward affection.
Lately there have been groups that form so that they can experience a hug, or what is it I heard and saw on the telly the other month, you could hire someone to hug you. Oh yes, and I was told by a reliable source, that men (sorry don’t know about women) can hire someone to be their girlfriend for an hour or two, where they can just be physically intimate, holding hands, hugging (and being a grown up, should that lead to something else…) What has caught my interest in all of this is that with all that is happening, we can put someone on the moon, we develop technology that can have us talking to people in foreign lands, with just a click of a button. But we still don’t know what a hug is all about.
Remember the “air kiss”… ah, allo, bonjour… kiss, kiss… sometimes one side of the face, sometimes both… and many times it is a real sign of affection and happiness at meeting a friend. However, with anything that is done repetitiously it then becomes a habit and the kisses are given from a mile away (ok slight exaggeration )
Not everyone is comfortable with being hugged, or having someone up close and too personal. Sometimes being there, sharing a coffee, listening and simply being a good listener, with true compassion and love in your heart is enough.
Not everyone is blessed with having grown up in an environment or with people who show their love in a way that includes a warm embrace and a loving hug.
Shared laughter, and a hug that is purely one of love and friendship is a gift that only can be given from the heart. It is when we are truly in the moment and can freely respond to another’s smile, need, or presence that the joy of the moment can be felt.
You are never alone
Always I am with you in spirit
and should you doubt
you need only look out
at the evening stars,
their twinkle is my code to you
happily saying I love you in a thousand ways
or the morning sun and feel my touch
as a breeze gently tousles your hair
or sunbeams kisses your cheek
I am in the air your breath
for I am everywhere
now and always

Green
the subtle shades of green
weave a gentle pattern through my dream…
my body stirs, as I sense the life around me
birds sing, a squirrel chatters from a tree
and a ray of sunshine finds its way to my face
what is this place
so, calm, so surreal
I know it is part of me, for I am totally
embraced by the beauty
and serenity that gracefully permeates
my total being….
this moment, this time in space
it is real, it is not a dream,
it is my communion with God
the bonding and reconnection
to what is real
Oneness with Nature/God/Tao
WE can learn a lot from Nature.
We don’t have a camera on us recording all we do during the day/night
What if we did?
May the relaxing sounds of nature, bring a joyful peace into your day, now and always.

PL Precept # 11 – Always be with God
To You Who searches
by Q, 3,13,87
High on a hill you stand
feeling the majesty of the land
Nature in her rainbow mantle
smiles back peacefully
bathed in the golden warmth of day
yet, in your heart you feel a tug and rattle…
What is this overpowering feeling
that time after time draws you here…
To sit alone perched on sculptured granite
high above… and hidden well away
a single, solitary figure
overshadowed by the festive maples
mighty oaks and whispering pines…
Looking out through searching eyes
thirsting for the meaning of “Divine”
lazily a cloud drifts by
a lacy swirl of powder white
against a sky of innocent blue
look at you…
questions, questions,questions, is this all you do!
a search for the truth is a lifelong task
when you look out, instead of within…
listen to the symphony of life
feel… experience… with your total being
prayer/meditation will remove illusions
so that in this mortal world of questions and answers
you will discover and realize a simple truth…
The natural universe, in essence
is a mirror image, and the awe and wonder
simply… a true communion with self …
Tao
I had forgotten that there was a time when my work was copyright, etc., now I’m looking for the series of short stories I did at that time too. Mollie I may have some that aren’t adult reading =^_^=
In cleaning up today, looking for my lost cheque book, I had to empty out all the files in the cabinet drawer and begin the physical task of looking through each file folder. (This happens when one starts to do a clean up because the compter hard drive needed to be taken in for a check up.)
In PL we learn that when we take notice of something, an idea takes form in our noggin, its time to pay attention. LOL right now that for me means, sorting through old files.
Have a good day everyone, Hope you enjoyed my writings from another time… Hugs

Do you pray, is a very personal question. As individuals we are all unique and our way of expression, and faith is something that is ours and ours alone. Or is it? What is it that we are told growing up, try not to talk about politics, or religion, stay on safe ground.
When we become friends with someone, it is a process that happens over time, some people you may feel an immediate kinship towards, and others, well, let’s say, we have to warm to. Some we never connect with at all.
With the passing of time, the friends that stay in our lives are the friends that accept the changes that happen in life and with our personal evolvement. And of course vice versa. No one stays the same from day-to-day, the changes may be subtle at first, but change we do.
Happiness happens when we establish goals and work towards achieving them on a daily basis. Living in Perfect Liberty means we pray not only daily but all the time, it is a way of life. We connect with a higher power and do our best to stay connected in all we say and do. When we can do this every day with true appreciation, we will be filled with a genuine feeling of joy .. this will radiate and envelope those around us.
I believe our faith and good intentions will resonate with the friends we make along the way, some will stay a long time and others will be move on towards their own destiny and purpose. What is important is that you remain true to yourself.

“I love talking about nothing. It is the only thing I know anything about” Oscar Wilde
and sometimes
I’d like you to just come over and visit with me
AND, then again…
sometimes….
I’ve taken flight to explore
and need time alone
I am secure and happy
knowing I am never on my own
LOVE is not sometimes, it is ALWAYS

In life when we begin a new project, or decide to make a major change in our lives, usually the first step, is a germ of a seed is planted, it takes root and then begins to grow. With some people the idea may lie dormant for some time before they actually decide to move forward. Then again, some may begin the process but get side tracked and the idea is left to grow on its own, without any further input from the originator.
When we don’t take a firm stand or move forward with a determination to see the project through, results are often not what we expected or anticipated.
Some roots show such determination they will grow with each passing moment, slowing inching their way to the light of day and will use any way/method available to them to do so.
When we try to suppress a desire or passion that needs expression, especially one that is a lesson in life we have to learn or face… …. …. the force of nature will prevail.
There are times when we see a perfection …. however the perception, might not necessarily be consonant with reality, in moments of grace (enriching time in inner development and self-expression)… those involved in creative and artistic endeavors will find their “work” very satisfying. For it will appear to be divinely inspired and when such moments happen, relish them, enjoy the moment, then flow with the changes…. let go, let it change to what it will be…

May your day be blessed with peace and happiness!
Forever, Always
What a wonderful holiday, what views, what excitement with each new place we “discovered”, it was one “wow”! after another, the fresh air, the under travelled roads, hidden treasures. wow, wow,wow!
Whether we are driving the coast of Italy, or rounding a bend on the island of Cape Breton, Canada,Mother Nature never fails to amaze us with her awesome natural sculptures that have been long in the making.
Holidays, happen, they come and go, but the memories live on, the intoxications of the moment, the moments when words fail you, where you simply have no choice but to look out in wonder at what your eyes, mind,body, and soul are feeling. These moments are real, and will always be a part of you.
PL quote” Everything that happens to you is Material for Growth ” Keep in touch with yourSelf, your desires, your memories that resonate within you. They will keep you balanced, connected to God, grounded in nature….Keep in touch!
