closure

Into the world you came

a fresh tender seedling

protected by the elements

you grew into a young man

strong,determined and resourceful

you married, had a family

and in turn, you sheltered

and gave your children the tools

they would require to grow

and succeed in/on their journey thru life

then one day, with your 100th year approaching

your work on earth was done

you were called away

your journey here was over

now…. your children

are left to mourn and say goodbye

saying goodbye is not the same for everyone

nor does each child really have the same memories of what was

for each child is unique, born at different times

their lessons, their knowledge base vary

often … the distance in their thinking

and the process to the solutions are and can be miles apart

The reality is that the Divine energy that connects us all

appears in different forms to each and every one of us

our past is ever-present in our moment

and our moments are always NOW

There is no real beginning or end

We either are, or we are not.

when love is pure,

when love is true

it is endless

closure, is a figment

of the mind.

the dance

“you have to feel…”

this is an astounding statement

…You have to feel…

so often I have heard

the words, “I just want to die”

yes it is an expression

usually said when a person is at the end of their rope

they have lost hope or, I can’t take it anymore,

I’ve had enough….These moments pass, but while they are being lived,everything inside feels chaotic, jumbled and turned around. The stomach is unsettled, the mood is “dark” When I was still actively working my practice, I would ask..”when is the last time you danced?” More often than not, the answer was vague, they didn’t recall it was so long ago, or it would be a straight out, “I don’t dance” Dancing is an art form, it is a form of expression, and yes, to some it comes more easily then it does for others.

To be a professional dancer, one must have a passion for the working of the body and mind, in a continuous need,desire to perform, to be able to use your body in every conceivable way to express movement, fluid and flowing, using every muscle in your body, your mind focused so that not a miniscule of energy is anywhere else but in that moment.

Our bodies are important in the managing of our health and our well-being. Dance, in whatever form it takes in your life is a necessity in maintaining a balance between the “yin” and “”yang”, negative and positive in life. You cannot have one without the other.

Even if you just reach and stretch your arms up into the sky above

or out to touch the walls on either side of you, do it with the intent to stretch out as far as you can, then slowly release, exhaling as you do, it well be such an exhilarating feeling, your body will go “wow”..

Stretching is an easy way to begin bringing more activity into your life, it is with slow small steps that we increase our awareness of the body.

Our bodies are our very own, our personal shrine for all that is divine within us.

Practice doing a dance move every day. Don’t let it slip away, do it.

Your body will be with you till the very end. Open your eyes to the need it has to survive and carry you through till you are ready to let go.

Forever and Always. …Namaste – Oyashikiri

When

When in life we begin to grow

We are taught by our parents,

by teachers, and by the life around us

There are some things that we

really take to, that captures our

imagination, so we apply ourselves

and we work hard to accomplish

what our heart desires.

Our passion comes from within

If we are in the right groove

we study, we learn, and we find

and cultivate friends along the way

who share our interests

If there is a connection, wow

there is such an intense joy in the sharing

in the way we move, the way we think

and how we experience each other.

It is hard to know at times

where one begins and where one ends.

Although we are often on our own,

the reality is that in life, the natural energies,

or elements, require a positive and a negative

to reach a ONENESS

If we over water, plants will drown

too much sun and dry soil, will cause a drought

love is an emotion,

emotion has a range of expressions

Life is Art. .. PL Precept #1

When dancers perform, we don’t see the work, sweat,tears, pain that they endured during their practices, workouts, and personal battles they fought for us to see the final product. Their dedication to their craft, is what enables us to enjoy a breathtaking performance. Even the work that went into taking the pictures I have used in this blog, the time the photographer took, the patience to get just the right angle, that exact moment to click the shutter.

There is complexity in all that happens. We tend to only see the surface. Life is an art form, and we, each and every one of us, is a piece of the puzzle in the whole of this wonderful, exhilarating experience called living….

Each and every time we share time with each other.. I for sure, am enriched. Thank you.

awesome capture

I seem alone

but I am not

in finding you

I lost you

but

never

will I forget you

for like it must be

we are ONE

in the Universe

you sun

I moon

– Whether we are happy or not depends on our own perspective. Life is neither good or bad, it is how we perceive the moment, that will determine whether the outcome is a good or an unfortunate one. -Live a life in Perfect Liberty, and every day will be a brand new canvas….

Open Up

Opportunities don’t always come and knock on the door,

Usually, they present themselves as a challenge.

Today was the church garage sale, we do one, once and sometimes twice a year

As I watched people arrive, park and saunter over to the tables, I wished I had .. more time to say Hello, Hi!, So nice that you could drop by…..

But of course, there was little time for anything but to keep putting stuff out and answering the many questions being asked by the eager early arrivals.

Church staff were kept busy, putting stuff out, or helping with things being purchased. There was a steady stream of new arrivals.
here are several reasons our church does a garage sale, and yes it is to raise money for the church… but it is also to meet the many people who drop in to visit us each year, and to get acquainted with them

What I realized today, was that the opportunity was there, but the reality was, we were not staffed to properly achieve the part about.. getting reacquainted having time to actually visit and say hello to the visitor who dropped in.

So… did we really accomplish what we set out to do? The opening our doors to say Hello and meet new people… That was/is an important part of our intended goal. Sometimes even when we are proactive, it isn’t till we actually play out the steps that we have scheduled and planned, that we are able to see the discrepancies.

hmmm time to rethink, how to “open up”

Expressions of our own unique selves

Each picture tells a story, evokes an emotion, thought or reaction, subtle or passionately we will take in and travel to the place we are at the time we view, visit or arrive .

Whatever it is that draws you today, embrace the moment and make it yours. Too often we are so bent on the destination, we do not enjoy or make time to be in the NOW.

Green

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

To You Who Searches

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

daytime adventure

Good morning everyone!

What a wonderful adventure my friend and I enjoyed yesterday, we spent the whole day living each moment to the fullest. At the end of the day we were laughing so hard that not only did we have tears in our eyes, my sides ached from all the full body laughs.

My husband bless his heart had to listen to the two of us recount our adventures when we got in. From his expression, I think our outpouring mirth and chortling was, an experience for him of ” hmmm guess you had to have been there.”

yesterday’s PL lesson, was “Handle things that come your way one by one” I can honestly say, my friend and I did just that. Not only did the weather cooperate, the people we encountered were wonderful. To the men at the border that had to spend time with us explaining what they were doing and why, we offer our heartfelt thanks, it was a quiet time at the border,, so we were fortunate to have experienced their “sunny” dispositions. Perhaps quizzical at our having wandered into their domain…. they were gracious all the same.

We saw a lot of these badges, being worn by young men in navy uniforms The many many times I have crossed into the States, I’ve never had the pleasure of seeing so many uniformed personnel. Yesterday we got to see where they worked inside the building that is there. Now I know what is inside the building. There is always something new to learn. =^_^= Having never seen this area of the border crossing, we were both rather curious and looked around us much like we would have enjoyed a stroll through a museum, or a first time visit with a friend. (which we also did yesterday)

Ok so the decor was rather severe, and the colour scheme was not meant to be welcoming. It was a no-nonsense environment, the metal seating in the waiting area gave us a clue that not all visitors to this area enjoyed the visit, nor was their any indication that tea and crumpets would be offered. However, the staff, the men we interacted with, were cordial and did their best to make sure we were at ease.

As a Canadian living near the border into the States, we travel there a lot and we love discovering the vast array of geographical countryside they affer.

The people we meet along the way have always been welcoming and happy to share their country with us.

Be aware, that even though we are neighbours, they have their own rules, laws and ways of enforcing them.

I think that what made the days so special for my friend and I was that everyone we met was so special, each in their own way.

Best of all each encounter we had with a challenging opportunity, we saw the humour and the fun side of the experience.

It was a long day,and each moment was lived to the fullest, it certainly will be a day that will have lasting memories for us, and our friendship has taken on even more sparkle.

We should live each day with enthusiasm, after a good night’s sleep, wake up refreshed and ready for whatever comes your way. One of my frist thoughts for today was that perhaps, since we travel so much into the States, we should look into the Nexus card. =^_^=

Life is good! I’m happy happy happy….. how about you? You ready for a “boss” day, May each and everyone of you feel the love I send out your way, may your day be blessed with sunshine and the making of happy memories.

a story, people,time,places

Don’t worry .. this is a short story =^_^= I was recently asked to go through long forgotten boxes (husband doing a clean up and rearranging in part of the house).. I got to go through several boxes of pictures. Pictures, tons of pictures, there was nothing to do but sit down with a box and begin.

What emerged were pictures of another lifetime,in fact ..many life times . People, places long gone from my present. Although I did remember some of the moments, if I’m honest, many moments captured were really no longer part of my current bank of memories, and most of the people who I came across would be total strangers to me now. I wouldn’t recognize them unless they came up to me and said, “hey, remember me…”

Like pebbles in the ocean

being washed in by the waves

daily our lives change…

sometimes the changes are subtle

other times, the change is drastic

shattering your life pattern

so that nothing remains the same…

the quiet slow changes do the same,

only you have time to assimilate

and are always on top of your game.

The memories were and are good … I realized that although at the time I might not have appreciated the growing pains…

( IF there was any) but in seeing the happy faces, and the recalling the moments/events/happenings, I felt really blessed to have had such caring and loving friends.

People change, friends drift apart, what was, was, and what is, IS. The saying “when one door closes, another opens” is so bang on. When we enjoy life, with all the opportunities we are offered, greet the day with enthusiasm, our days become more rewarding. Not matter what it is, what the day bring, really get into it. Put your heart into everything you do, don’t squander the adventures offered by the Universe.

When you go through a door, don’t just open it, walk through, and forget it, each door tells a story, make sure you leave your presence known. What will your story be today.
