love is….

I’ve lived all my life without ever having felt such an immediate connection

I knew that there was a horse in the paddock

his beauty I could see when we drove in

however, my focus was on the man raking the leaves

he was who we had come up the drive to see

when I disembarked from the truck

2 mature and protective great danes came to greet me

although strangers, we all got along

the visit went with ease

when I turned to leave,

for some unknown reason,

it was not to the truck I went

but to the compelling figure at the fence

our eyes met, and I felt a sudden rush of recognition

of what I knew not what,

only that this handsome beast

knew my name and was wanting me closer

we met, we touched, both wanted more

how is it that I’ve never had a desire before to connect with a horse

I didn’t want to go, but I had to leave

will that moment come again,

I don’t know, but the encounter,

the soft muzzle, warm breath and gentle nudge

is etched in my memory

it was a moment REALLY lived….

PL Precept # 18 EACH Moment is a turning point

When we live with a mind of appreciation towards others and things ( PL Principle #3)

Each Moment, really and truly

is a work of art!

Wordless Wednesday -fragile heart

I made this card many years ago

yes, those are egg shells

there are times when

like an egg shell

on a hard boiled egg

a moment lived, just feels cracked

try as you may

the egg simply won’t peel

in just the right way

it is, what it is

no more, no less

BUT

when life is an art

we find and do it our way

PL Precept #18 EAch Moment is a Turning Point

sometimes, I my intent is a few words but the mind and fingers keep going. =^_^=

Je t’aime ~

garden sprite tell me true

what will the morning bring

when the sun shines high in the azure sky

bathing the world in a light so bright

will I find my love come night

silly child how will you find

something you have not lost

you need only look

deep into your heart

to see and feel the love

that constantly beats

with each pitter patter of your heart

je t’aime, je t’aime

true love has no beginning and no end

Good morning everyone!!!! I love it here…. I love Canada and the four seasons, it is a photographer/writer’s dream. Something new everyday, today the buds are breaking through the bark, little heads are peaking through. Excitement is in the air.

I don’t think there would have been room for a go-cart in the parking lot at the golf course I passed yesterday. The driving range was the same. Of course, now is also the time that everyone wants to throw open the doors, and get at the spring cleaning,

The enthusiasm is there, maybe not the same glee, but the passion and desire to get at it, and have it done is there. This desire to be out in the sunshine and spring showers seems to be everywhere,

There is no great mystery about life, it simply is an every changing world, that like the nature that we are part of, we all have seasons of our own. Learning to embrace change and to allow our creativity to flow (adapting to changes and challenges), is one of the best skills we can have and hone.

Say YES today, be happy whatever you set your mind to doing. No matter the weather, it doesnt’ matter if it rains or shines, whether you are happy or not … is determined by YOUR state of mind.

You own the day.

Pass it around..

caught in time

There are moments when I am caught up in what I see. We were in a drive through, when suddenly an ordinary moment became one of dimension and depth.

I was drawn into another world, each blade, each stem took on personality of its own. I wanted to capture that moment, and I did. It all took place in probably less than a minute.

PL Precept #19

Begin Once you Perceive

Even now, hours later, when I look at that moment in time, these pictures, speak volumes to me. I want to experience every blade. each leaf, and discover the marvel of the textures in the bark

How awesome. Simplicity, I was inspired, I took action, and I’m blessed now with the happy feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction… Life is good.I so love being part of it. Thank you for sharing the journey with me. =^_^=

Thursday doors – A new day

some rooms are very small and confining

and if one could

they would keep you in that room

allowing only the essentials

not out of cruelty

but under the false illusion

they are protecting you

It is true that a door can shut out elements

restrict freedom

and bring with it the clouds of gray

like on a cold winters day

The beauty of a door

is that it is meant to open and close

one needs only to believe

they hold they key

and trust in me

we all do (hold the key)

appreciate the beauty of the door

understand that its presence

is not a menace

simply a challenge in that moment

tomorrow

tomorrow is guaranteed to come

and when it does

it is a brand new day

stay or walk away

for YOU

hold the key (you really do)

to your destiny

happy happy

Good afternoon everyone. I had a wonderful time this past Sunday exploring the back roads from the city towards Sharbot Lake, it was a bright day, a bit of a chill in the air, but otherwise great. Too soon after a cold snowy spell, for there to be a lot of day trippers out. One of my finds, was this tree stump…. the colours, the recent cuts l seemed to dazzle with the afternoon sun.

These delights were found on a vacant lot of a house that is up for sale. 100 acres on a quiet country road (at an intersection) The house had seen much better days, nothing of interest to me, it was the location.. What was sad to see was that the yard around the house was a catch-all for debris and clutter. I had been drawn to the stumps because of the rich tones of the inner core. What ever happened to their tops, was not evident. So I assume, that the rest of the tree will serve a good purpose.

My husband was drawn to the old television satellite dishes. Some places tease me, and I want to hear their story. Others, well, they just don’t hold my attention. On this property it was the tree stumps.. they were my gemstones amongst the rubble. AND the QUIET. Further down the road ( a paved road, however it was well posted, that it was not a road that was maintained year round) we found this spot..

You likely had to have been there .. it was such a peaceful site. What we found was what was left of a building, that must have been part of the church that had been in this location. The lumber I didn’t think dated back to the 40’s but perhaps a makeshift building of sorts had been there and when that went, the community got together and put up the piece you see below. (1987)

How different life must have been life back when the church as in full attendance. 1893… the land in the surrounding areas you can tell had once been farmed. The further we drove down this road, with the quiet around us, and the beckoning open fields, the more the happy glow of discovery surrounded me.

Life is ever-changing, what remains a constant in life is the natural world we live in. It grows, flourishes, dies, and is reborn. The landscapes change, but the wonder of it all remains. GOD is living, GOD is life, GOD is Everything. and YES, GOD is LOVE

Charm of days gone by

This was taken in New York State, a few summers ago. It was a sunny day, and I was out exploring, in fact, this was my first time to this part of the State, I had read an article on an abandoned health resort, it was so intriguing I wanted to see it for myself. I blogged about that trip the year I went. This is one of the pictures that in that file.

Timing in life, is so important, PL Precept #19 Begin Once you perceive and PL Precept # 17 Grasp What is Most Essential

Had I not been in the States on that day, enjoying the sights, and wandering down a side street I would never have been able to capture that picture. The home was bathed in sunlight and shade, the breeze was just right, lifting the flag for almost picture perfect memory. Whenever I see this picture I’m reminded of that trip, and I want to explore more of the small towns in that area.

Rev. Eisuke and I were talking yesterday of how it is so easy to “perceive” something, yet not take action… for whatever reason, we don’t follow through, guess what “something” doesn’t get done. Or we miss something that was essential in the grand scheme of things. We didn’t look at or take into consideration the full picture.

In the teachings of PL, we try to encourage and show why following the Precepts as best we can, is so important to our own quality of life and the happiness of not only ourselves but those around us.

Make someone happy today, SMILE share the LOVE include it in your day, it will radiate in your smile.
