2 sisters, two styles,

PL Precept # 1 Life is Art

How we express ourselves, whether on canvas or another form of expression, is us, being true to ourselves. We are all unique, let us respect and do our best to understand the differences and challenges around us.

We are all ONE.

late night visitors

Good morning…. Bom dia, Obviously the playground I posted pictures of the other day, stayed with me.

Remember this… There is something playful about the design, I’m not usually drawn to bugs and the like. Yet last night I found myself playing with the liquid acrylics and delighting in watching the shapes take shape.

If asked to do something whimsical, I would be hard pressed to come up with something, I consider myself to be more abstract.

Oh dear am I in a philosophical mood today, let me see.. today is the 14th. hmmm Hearts and Flowers day. I can show you my totally not dry yet heart, cuz I’m trying a new medium that takes forever to dry, like 72 hours or more before it is totally dry and finished reacting with itself. Oh dear I can smell it, but don’t see it, where did I put it..

Sorry I didn’t crop the picture, just snapped it with the handy iPhone. That black stuff is something I got yesterday, now I know why the gal suggested I might prefer clear or a white. It supposedly contains the liquid medium. They tell us not to marry up with your first impression of what you do cuz as it reacts with itself, what you see will change.

There is a mixture that is very liquid, called Vitrail (pebeo) one that is ceramic, one called Fantasy Moon, and one other in the Fantasy line called Prismo. When mixed together they all have their own way of interacting with the other.. In theory if you know what you are doing, you can create wonderful fantasy pieces.

I am very new to this product, days if that.. AND no one I know uses it.. so it is a trial and error process. That black I got yesterday and is called relief outliner. All this to say, Good Morning, how are you.. I’m doing fine.

Today’s PL calendar (if you need one, contact me) says… Work Happily with Good Rhythm can you hear me humming =^_^=

Here we go, romantic picture, dancing in the Universe, carefree and happy. I wish each and every one of you, a day filled with love and appreciation.

Never give up on your dreams, always remember that each moment is a lifetime, live NOW

PL Precept #1 Life is Art

We really are so blessed that we have the creative ability in each and every one of us to be ONE with the Universe…. always & forever…

chop suey Tuesday

1-30-17-c-towards-osgoode

Blue skies, dazzling sunshine, a fresh crispness in the air, it was time for a day trip. We are fortunate that we can just pick up and go, if the spirit moves us. The landscapes look so different when they are blanketed with snow and the trees are bare of their leaves.

1-30-17-towards-osgoode

Notice the happy shadows, at the time of my visit, they are free of critter tracks, but I’m sure had I ventured in further, I would have found evidence of the abundant life within the little woodland patch.

1-30-17-a I was content to simply peak silently into the little world I’d come across. Hoping that by standing very still, I’d catch a glimpse of another wandering nomad, or furry critter going about its day.

1-30-17-b-towards-osgood

The simplicity of the moment, the beauty of the shadow a silver-gray on the textured snow brings tranquility and beauty to my tired eyes. The natural sunlight, the fresh air, background noises of the woodland and the cars in the distance, all blend to harmonize into my moment of communion with Nature.

It takes but a second to connect, to allow God to colour our day with a joy of recognition, that it isn’t man-made news that is important, rather the essence of happiness lies within. Life IS.

To achieve peace and happiness, we must find it first within ourselves. Peace is a by-product of LOVE.

time was

dandelion-puff-1s

Time was when we met people face to face, spent time engaging in conversation, and learning about one and another. We exchanged information, experimented with little bits of information here and there, that gave us an idea of how similar or how different we were from one another.

Some acquaintances became fast friends, and others, drifted in and out, never really rooting in a place close by. Like a carefully planned out garden, we build friendships on personalities that compliment our own. Some bolster our insecurities, others are comfortable, and nurturing, time spent with them is rewarding no matter what you decide to do.

P1000273_edited-1

Other times, we miss out on a new opportunity because we have only focused on the familiar and not ben receptive to a new encounter. With the age of social media, the internet has changed how we gather and tend to our friends. Some friends, we have never met in person, we may share time with them, and exchange views and ideas, but we have never looked into their eyes, or known their touch.

2014-05-03 2014-05-03 001 015 I admired this trunk when I came upon it on a walk. How many little critters worked to create this fascinating design, I’ll never know. But it was through their collective energies, likely at different times, and stages in the tree’s life.. I was enchanted by a piece of history.

When I think of what is happening in the world today, I wonder how someone somewhere in time and space, will look at how we (human race) spent our time while on this earth. Will we have squandered the wonderful possibilities we have had placed before us. Will we build on our intelligence and creativity, or allow negative forces to stunt and cripple the beauty and transformation of love and friendship.

Now more than ever, we should all be united, in a common goal….World Peace.

finding Monday

4efef7f7e3503cced3dad81b5a0c3e65 In quiet reflection today, I wanted to transport myself back to the Holy Land (Japan, headquarters) if only one could simply snap one’s fingers and voila.. we would be standing where we wanted to be.

Wanting, wishing, does not make it so. I am where I am, thousands of miles away, different continent, time zone and season.

On my mind this morning, is Rev. Toyomi Hirayama, he was the minister who did the translations for me when I met with Rev. Mitsuo Michishita. Sometimes when we are living a moment we don’t realize just how much that space in time will actually impact our everyday until months later.

Rev. Ise Kouji who I only met during my last visit there, was so kind so thoughtful, always a big smile.Unable to speak English, he still conveyed happiness at sharing and exchanging time with the English visitor.

The minister there from Argentina, Sensi Arthuro Higashigata, it was the same, so friendly and outgoing. We came from all over to attend the celebrations and lectures. The actual physical time was short .. but the learning, and discovery of self, is ongoing.

sunshine and flowers Faith will shine through, even the darkest of times, Nature will go on with her infinite art forms, and in quiet meditation, I can be “home”

making friends

As I pondered my life this morning, my Mother in the hospital, cherished friends in far distant lands, others busy with their lives I reflected on the current project I’m working on.

book-cover-started-jan-20-17

This is another of the books I collected out of the throw away box. It was published under the direction of the Baptist Union of Great Britain and Ireland, The church of England, The church of Scotland, the list goes on. It has maps and plans inside, along with the text of course. The cover was rather battered, especially I don’t know how long it had been exposed to the elements or where it had been prior to being thrown away.

I’ve used masking tape to protect the center of the cover and I’m working at giving the rest of the cover some strength and I hope character back.

Our lives are lived pretty much like this book. We are conceived, given birth to, presented to the world, and then…………… who knows where we will go or end up. Each one of us has our own path, destination/goal, and how we achieve or get there.. is our own personal journey.

Facing the possibilities of my Mother’s journey, gives me plenty of time to reflect on my own journey. Which brings me back to friendships. Some friends you have known, have carved a place in your heart that will last forever, yet you may never see them again, for their paths have gone in different directions. Or… the value of the friendship was not balanced, that happens too.

The one person, that is the most important person of all, is yourself. When I’m working doing art projects, or creating, I’m allowing my self-expression to be seen or heard. I may be the only one who sees it, but the act of BEING is…. in fact.. making friends with mySELF.

c’est bizarre, c’est jeudi

What happens when suddenly you realize it is Thursday! Wow, like how did this happen, it came at me right out of the blue.

img_20151206_130030109

Like the seasons, was it just yesterday I sat and watched the birds fly by on the horizon, couldn’t have been, when I look out side now, the world is white, we’ve had snow. Lots of it, although, it was so mild yesterday, temperatures went up to 40 degrees F. Today is going to be another mild day.

img_20151206_125944719 I had thought of going to New York city for the Perfect Liberty Thanksgiving service this month. The thought of seeing NY again, I’ve been away from some time, actually a LONG time, so close to the Chinese New Year, a side trip down to Chinatown would have been a real treat.

If you saw my blog the other day on Chinese New Year, and took the time to watch the video on the foods prepared for the special celebration, you would have seen a lot of colour, especially reds.

img_20151206_125955915_hdr

It was not to be. In the Japanese Church of Perfect Liberty, we use a word, Kamuwaza, it basically means, “God’s Act” or through no other reason, but that “something” just doesn’t happen, due to many different circumstances. In this case, all the signs were not pointing towards a good productive trip, my pushing the envelope to go anyway, would mean that, my desire, my wishes, were “mine” and not necessarily were they going to happen.

The TAO. also addresses this, there are times when we simply need to listen to the “signs” around us, and STOP pushing forward. It is time to STOP, reflect, and regroup.

Noooooo I’m not bummed about it, a tad disappointed maybe, but I have learned, that everything has a reason, (season) and by staying tuned in .. PL Precept # 11 Always be with God.
PL Precept #17 Grasp what is essential AND

PL Precept # 20 Live maintaining Equilibrium between Mind and Matter.. Things will progress and develop (PL Precept # 16)

naughty or nice

Have you been naughty, have you been nice, hear that a lot around this time of year. It is all about perspective isn’t it. When someone is being naughty in someone’s view, he/she could be being very nice and totally appreciated by someone else. Perspective.

We are all so different, so unique in our own ways. That is a gift from above. The ability to be different, so that each and every one of us is blessed in an ability to enjoy and appreciate the creative expressions of others.

The Red Blacks (Canadian Football League) brought the cup home to Ottawa yesterday, they won the Grey Cup.. It is a very big deal to football fans, a huge BIG deal. Congratulations to all you die-hard fans out there.. what an exhilarating over time period it had to have been.
