discovering

Finding our way in life is always an adventure. Sometimes it is a mystery and we find ourselves asking the mirror “why? how? what happened?” Some paths we traveled on have been smooth and well-worn, others if there ever was a road, it had long been reclaimed by nature, and you had to tread carefully and watch for openings in the growth around you to make your way through to find a clearing. You needed to focus and be present.

Today with virtual worlds, gaming and concept art forms, we are taken into wonderful imaginary worlds without leaving the comfort of home. Still, always, one should be present and aware of all that is happening around us.

If an explorer starts out with preconceived notions and ideas about what lies ahead he/she will not be open to the wonders that are there to be discovered all along the way. If you find yourself on a road you’ve not been on before, take it all in, This is where you are, so enjoy it, discover what there is to learn from the moment and then move on. Every day is a blank canvas

Where will you go, and what will you discover today? God bless and keep you safe what-ever your do,

Namaste – Oyashikiri

Aging – best before date

Maxine always has something to say! As we mature, age, our bodies start to lose the zest and vigor, our minds may still want to play and experience all that life has to offer, but the balance between body and mind has shifted. We’ve all at one time or another had the e-mails or faxed “words of wisdom” passed around to us.

All cute and all words to quote and use when times get tough when we think we are getting old. Usually if I am to believe the moaners and groaners out there in the 25-45 year age group getting older is a process and accept it or not, it is a journey that has to be taken. The magazines, and marketing shows all want us to think that we can stop the process, there are products out there to make one look younger, or a way to apply makeup so you take years away. The French have an expression, “whether you want or you don’t want it, life happens” that is a literal translation.

Laughter is timeless – Imagination has no age – and Dreams are forever (Walt Disney) I can tell you that when for some reason or another I’ve had to visit a home for the elderly, I don’t hear a lot of laughter. When you look into the faces of the men and women who are sitting there lined up in chairs, facing or backs to the sunshine. You usually meet eyes that are blank, with no laughter waiting to spill over, just a tired, resigned look of apathy. No one wants to be in that position, no one goes out of their way to be alone in their very senior years, but for some this is where their journey will bring them.

Even the young are facing such moments. Social media, has a lot of pluses, but it also has the potential of leaving us more alienated from life than we’ve ever found ourselves before. We (society) has taken steps to ensure that what we put into and on our bodies has a best before date emblazoned on it. We joke, and talk about getting old, but we don’t really prepare, really prepare for old age. We accept that a plant will grow and go through the cycle of its life and die, but our own life cycle, we tend to put on hold. We want to live at all costs, and we are always so busy planning how we will do that.. We do not live the moment. If we are unhappy with something, we cleverly, create other means of satisfying that itch, or passion. There is a lot of talk of improving our own SELF. it is a huge task, do we really work hard putting our utmost sincerity (makoto) into dealing with our own issues. Happiness is something that begins within. One first has to be happy with one’s SELF, in the end, that is all you have is your SELF.

Bom dia, happy Saturday everyone!

A lazy start to another wonderful day, closes my eyes, smiles and remembers yesterday. Would you look at this tree, how old must it be, how extraordinary its experiences in life must have been. It is hard to tell from a picture just how high that opening is, right away, I want to climb up to explore inside. In some ways it reminds me of a big bird with its mouth open, and other times when I look at it, I imagine its the entrance to a hobbit condo. Imagination is wonderful isn’t, so is intuition. Both are gifts we were born with, some of us use these gifts more than others.

It is still too cool in this part of the world, to lay in the shade basking under the warm healing sunshine, but in other parts of the country this could be one of your options today. Yes I am a bit of a day dreamer, but what is wrong with taking a bit of “laid back” time for yourself. Value your intuition, often we “know” a little voice tells us, we “need” to slow down, engage in some “me time”. Instead we look at our lists, or to the voices of friends who want to go here, there and everywhere, and you become “busy, busy busy”. We are not machines, and we all know that machines break down, require ongoing maintenance. Unlike the tree in the first picture, we might not show our scars and our age in the same way, but instinctively we do know when its time to rest, when we have pushed ourselves to a limit. The “Universe” looks out for us, Believe and have Faith, listen to your “intuition”, stop planning every minute of your day. Allow time in your day to P L A Y. Don’t wait for a better time, that time will never just materialize. Be good to your SELF today. PRAY=recharge, rain or shine, make this a day you’ll remember. PL Precept #18. Each moment is a Turning Point.

LIFE IS ART…… LIVE IN PERFECT LIBERTY (PL #1 and 21)

May your day be full of blessings you will enjoy and cherish forever ……. Oyashikiri

Today is a new day! ¿como esta?

Seamlessly the days become night, and night becomes day, the skies are ever changing and kaleidoscopic. The constantly changing patterns and colours provide inspiration and backdrops for our activities and encounters during the day. On first waking, do you look out a window to take in the view, gauge the weather? Dose what you see contribute to the “tone” of your day? Or do you close your eyes and pray. connecting to the holy Spirit Mioyaookami /God.

Does thunder and lightening have you running for cover? Or do you delight at the rumble and imagine the giants in the sky are bowling and having fun. That the lightening is the result of the bowling ball striking the kingpin and WOW its a strike, all the pins have dropped! YAY! Imagination, only for children, NO, it is a gift we all have and share, some use it more than others, that is a given…. I feel safe in saying that our imaginations will not suffer karoshi (Japan- word for death caused by overwork) Start your day today with a big bang, celebrate a new day, new beginnings, move forward on a path towards newness, progress and growth. Develop your skill in moving from the old to the new without a sense of loss. Move with the current, not with fear, but with a sense of joy and expectation toward the experience just around the corner/bend.
