Thursday Doors -Sounds of Silence 3
Even closed and silent
a door will tell a story
like people
they are all unique
we need only
stop and listen

lost? or found?
a glove got lost
that glove was found
and left to wait
should it be returned to its mate
some other day
meanwhile there it sits
out of harms way
a solitary reminder
that in some cases
it’s not that we don’t care
that we are no longer there
but life got in the way
too busy with other things
we missed realizing
that a part of us
fell away
& got left behind
this happens
when we are not
in tune with our mind
and
caught by surprise
when we find
that
one of two
is gone
leaving only
one
incomplete
For to be a perfect ONE ( pair)
it takes
2 to be 1
Yesterday was a day of sun and cloud, being a work day, this boat launch area was quiet, in the summer months when we dive by, it would be difficult to even find a place to park. We stopped here to let the dogs have some outdoor fun.
This was the colour of the day, yes sunshine is nice, but I love the rather subdued and subtle shades of an over cast day, if every day was sunny, we wouldn’t get to see the full palette of Mother’s Nature’s diverse and endless inventory of wonders.
Here is another Found? or Lost? for you….
While visiting a Tim Hortons (on the American side of the border, I came across the above dime and penny, laid out just as you see them … I didn’t touch them.. I looked and found it interesting that someone would just leave them on the vanity, especially sitting there so neatly. Were they in hand, and just laid down while hands were being washed… Maybe a child had them, and left them when they were being tended to by a parent.. I didn’t know… but I wasn’t going to disturb them, so, I took a picture.
Life is interesting, fun and intriguing, how we accept our daily challenges and adventures is up to us.. Accepting, enjoying and letting go of moments.. is a life long challenge, sometimes it is easy sometimes it is not…. knowing that whatever it is, it is OUR life. Yours and mine… I’m just so happy knowing that you are part of my world, In loving, sharing, caring, the exchange of ideas, thoughts,sights and sounds,.. WOW… what gifts.

PL Precept # 2 To live is to express ONE’s Self
exhilaration
A difficult climb yes, it is rated strenuous, the hike itself to get there and do the full trail is 41 miles (65 km) and will take approx. 5, 6 days, depending on how you like to “wander”. It is the Drakensberg the highest mountain range in South Africa. It is not a defined trail, there is a variety of terrain, and sights to see and experience. Cascading rivers, waterfalls, along with some prehistoric drawings..
This was my slice of adventure Sunday, when we drove along the river, and found this quarry. Yes I’d love to climb that chain ladder, the idea is exhilarating, however, at this moment, I was exploring a part of Quebec, and the rocks here.. they drew me like visual candy… It was exhilarating to stand in the cool crisp air, make my way as far as I could into the area and capture the strong character of some of the boulders.
Live in the moment
Enjoy every opportunity that comes your way
So that at the end of the day
you can honestly say
Hurrah, Hooray
It’s been a great day
I lived it my “way”
the PL “Way”

going nowhere
Sometimes, we dream of far away places,
Sometimes these events do take place,
Other times, what was, was
and the time comes when
our dreams are shelved.
live with hope in your heart
remember the journeys
the past is what your present is built on
live each moment to the fullest

FREE
Creativity begins with an idea, then someone sets out to put the design to paper, from there, they “play” at making it work, how many times, and what number of templates were done before they got the finished product they wanted. We see the final product, and go… WOW…. Our lives are constantly being blessed because someone came up with an idea, and by themselves or with collaboration, they developed the idea into a product, idea, or service.
Please visit the blog site Next to Nicx web site for details on how to do this, and more
In PL (Perfect Liberty) the first Precept. PL Precept #1 Life is Art, is really the foundation of the philosophy we teach and practice. Begin today and everyday, with a brand new canvas, it will make your daily choices so much more interesting.
This is a YouTube clip that will keep you inspired
There was a time when we would say “everything worthwhile in life is FREE” By this we meant, LOVE, Happiness, Sharing, Giving,Caring, a Hug, and so on. Time spent with a friend was such a blessing and a special time… It was being with that person, and giving a personal, hand-made gift meant time thinking of your friend, while you made up or wrote them a letter or a note card. There was personal interaction, and exchanges.
Life does get busy, but that special connection, a personal word or visit, goes a long way in making for a stronger bond, or sense of awareness in the other person’s world. When we reach out and share with a friend, even a stranger, we are rewarded 100 fold.
Yes, I love a beautiful object, and I admire the work, the skill of the crafts person who did it. I appreciate its beauty, and sometimes I even want to acquire that object. But the greatest gift of all for me is the sincerity, and genuine love that shines in my life. Life is LOVE. Love abounds all around us. BE ONE with GOD, share your love, reach out and bring light and joy to someone today!

lost in time (a morning prayer)
another day goes by
and still I wait
under the clear blue skies
I watch one cloud slowly make its way
to another cumulus cloud
as they merge into one another
my thoughts return to another time
when I was young
in my prime
life was different then
so many fun encounters
young and old
spent time with me
now each new day brings
the trees reach out to give me shade
and the long tall grass
whispers to me softly
as they lean into me
I don’t see as well
with the passing years
my eyes have clouded over
but I know you are always
with me God
that makes every moment
worthwhile
I sit and enjoy
my fading years
another stranger will pass by
and capture me in lens
for whatever state I’m in
the glory of my life with you
will shine through
for
I am one with you

Happiness is
Finding this display of Chinese eggplants
Finding this dogwood in its brilliant display of colour
Finding this bouquet of flowers just for you
I am but one person,
yet today my heart overflows with an abundance of love and joy
and I owe it all to YOU

Tuesday,sunshine and glue
Guess who went to bed and didn’t plug her cell phone in to recharge, first two guesses don’t count. Usually no big deal, however, in an efficient mode these past months, I’ve been doing a tidy up. You know how we can get when the season is changing, especially from winter to spring. “We never use our land line” said I. let’s get rid of it, we both have a cell phone, that will work out just fine.
Good idea, right.. the hands free phones stationed all over the house for ease of access, went bye-bye. I admit there was a feeling of relief as one more item on my want to do list, got a tick mark beside it. For every action there is a reaction. I had my cell phone number changed to the main home phone number, so that worked out fine, more or less. Calls I got for “the husband” simply were rerouted to his number. BUT what happens then when our phones are not nearby, and we don’t hear them ring (ah HA! I got a blue tooth thingie, and I can answer mine from most parts of the house as long as the phone is within “striking” distance ,1,2,ever 3 rooms away .. NOT if you are not wearing the bluetooth
Or if you are busy working on some project, like making greeting cards for the Church sale coming up in June (18th) and you are working with a sticky glue, that sticks to you, but not the card stock!!! The handy hands free that used to be by the desk is gone, your phone is in need of a change, and your blue tooth gadget is ??? somewhere on your other desk in the clutter there.
That golden moment when you remember, your new set up, the cell phone has call answer and voice mail, YAY, so what your fingers and hands are full of sticky glue, you phone will take a message. All I need do, is find Hubby to get the SSS (Skin so Soft- Avon) great for taking away sticky stuff .. I’m sure somewhere there will be a website that will tell you of all it is claimed to be good for. For us, it’s getting the glue/sticky off.
The start of a brand new day
open the window wide
take in all that comes your way
for only today
will you live the golden moments
for tomorrow, they will
have flown away.

PL Principle # 3 I will live with a mind of appreciation towards others and things
We started the day with no clear destination in mind, simply one of our adventures in learning. The minister I’m working with is from Japan, although he has lived the last six years in Argentina. Now he is in Canada. Seeing Canada through someone else’s eyes is very interesting, we are together, so he can learn English, but the reality is that I am learning so much just from sharing his experience with him.
The miles of neat farmhouses, swept past as we made our way down a secondary highway back to the city, “what is that” he exclaimed as we drove by a property that was full to brimming with objects, most who had seen better days.
Having been to Japan, I could well understand his consternation. ” Look” he said “there is the entrance, but no one can enter” Looking down the lane I could see what he meant. I was still trying to figure out what to answer him. The sign said antiques, but…. there was very little space to move between what rows there were. Every available space was taken and from where we were, it looked like the rooms inside were much like the outside. we mutually without verbalizing it, simply moved on. There was no draw, or interest for us. yet to someone else, this would be a treasure hunter’s paradise. In French there is an expression, translated says, to each his/her own.
We did find a treasure of our own, in an eating place that claimed home-made meals, and baking, it was very nice. Nothing fancy, just good, home cooking and healthy portions. The whole idea of out outings is for the minister to experience our culture, and what better way then to drive out to the country. See life in the small towns, cross over bridges that span one of our many rivers and abundance of lakes. The snow is not all gone, but spring is on its way,
Never judge a book by its cover, the inside is warm and welcoming, and the food, delicious. Lots to pick from, This little gem is outside of Perth. Perth, can you say Perth… it was a lot of fun, hearing it said by the minister, he has a great sense of humour. No matter how hard he tried, the sounds would not work for him.. It will come in time, but for me… it brought home an awareness of just how spunky he is, In less than a year, he is already able to read and carry one a conversation, it may be short sentences, and one word at a time, but he is doing it. I’m so proud of his achievement. His sincere efforts to learn and his application to learning, inspires me, to do better with my projects in life.
When we approach each day like an open page, a vista waiting for the seasons to change, and new beginnings to come into our lives, we are growing, we are taking in new sights even if we have seen them hundreds of times before, each time is different. No two days are alike, every second is different.. that makes every day an adventure, and a thrill to live,
Look the crocus are in full bloom today … they are happy and singing, with their pretty faces lifted towards the sun, life is good, it is all in a day, to laugh and play, come what may, we are here today, and loving it…..

PL Precept # 1 Life is Art
he discovered Tim Bits today!!
Carleton Place,Perth. Smith Falls, Ontario
Sometimes
there are times
when inside all I feel is a void
no this is not a negative
it simply is what is
there is no colour
there is no theme
the space between my ears
is simply a blank
the hands on the clocks
keep track of the time
but my mind is impervious to its call
I am not unaware
I simply do not wish
to be disturbed
writers note… I hit publish before I thought I was done..
but since it posted, I am going to leave it..
for obviously I was done,
whether I thought so or not.
Oyahsikiri
so be it.. today is just such a day!
smiles and send you lots of love
from my place in time
