The colours of spring

9360114a654471448445137c7a20c93aToday  without the sun shining brightly through my office window, I went in search of a picture of flowers.  When I chanced on this picture of the Keukenhof Gardens in the Netherlands, it was a BINGO the moment I saw it.(  a WOW moment).  The riot of colour is laid out in such a symmetrical pattern. The synergy holds one eye.  The attention to detail, the planning that had to be executed to give these results, mind-blowing to someone like myself an abstract artist and a lover of the natural landscape.   The picture held me in utter fascination.  Art comes in many forms, this picture gave me an appreciation of the work /labour that had to take place for me to be able to behold and enjoy such man-made beauty, using nature’s provisions.

Today’s PL lesson is about how our smile/expression can make everyone around us happy.  It makes sense, if we do everything with a smile, we feel good, but we also spread that happiness to those around us.  I’m smiling now and I share it with all of you.. Be Happy!   A smile is contagious! Oyashikiri

Hearts & Flowers

6b631c6dead44193b4e5ed4fa31a2d91Pure vintage   we would never see this today, cigarettes are no longer in vogue, but the artist put together a picture showing a couple showing their togetherness, his arm holding hers,  their cigarette tips touching, note that the gesture forms a heart connecting them.  OK OK, I’m allowed some poetic licence. LOL I thought it charming =^_^=

Hearts and Flowers day isn’t just for lovers, it is a day that celebrates caring and love. although over the years the marketing has been more and more about the gifts one gives, or tied to romantic stories, new engagements, marriages, and first dates etc.   I see it more as a day of  love,period. A good friend recently lost one of her parents, which is a time of loss,  she and  her family have chosen to celebrate their loss, by celebrating the parent’s life.  How joyful, to honour the life and the positives this person gave to other during her lifetime.  Love is a blessing in our lives.  the word itself has been so used and misunderstood, but in reality, it is  Lasting ONENESS (with God) and Vibration (energy) that is Endless.  Oyashikiri

Expression

d3139b54cdcc19f49bfed8746a8c7f42PL Precept #1    life is Art….

PL Precept#2  To live is to express One’s Self

We all have different ways of feeling, thinking and expressing ourselves.  The artist that pulled this concept together was “brilliant”  When I saw this picture I simply could not pass it by and not share it.  Obviously there is a love for biking, but to bring it into the home and use it so creatively … I was impressed, and it brought a big smile ..  what a joy it must be for visitors to walk in and find this display.  The simplicity of it all …  I know a young lady who bikes, she loves being out on her bike, she is a long distance rider, and an off-road biker.. the whole experience for her is spiritual and exhilarating.  Much like the feeling of freedom and heart felt connection to nature when one is  on a motorcycle, riding the back roads.

We are all unique in our own way.    When we live doing our best, and following the laws of “Nature” (God) – trusting and believing in our eternal connection to the “Universe” (Tao)  we become more accepting of others’ and their differences, learn to respect each other, one step at a time, we grow towards world peace.  A peaceful heart, begins in one’s Self.  God is the power, source and law of the Universe!  amen.

Blessings to you all on this 13th day of February. Be Happy.   Oyashikiri

Living in the moment, being mindful means that you are living each moment with awareness, being present, addressing the moment with a clear state of mind. In “biblical” times it is told that Jesus walked on water and that in/with faith, so could his followers.  The moment they let fear/doubt take over, they sank.  It is not easy to always be clear of negative feelings, but we can learn, we can practice the ART of trusting and truly believing that the “Universe” no matter what the challenge, has a reason for where you are and what you are living at any given time.

How do you see the world

Valentine 2.3.14_007

Do you wake up and view the world around you in a positive light?    Are you a half full, or half empty (glass) person?  Or do you tend to see the world through a cloud, or haze that never seems to go away?

Valentine 2.3.14_008

There is beauty in all times of the day or night, and if you are in a mood to find it, there is also gloom and loneliness even doom.  When we give ourselves to God (higher power/TAO) we are blessed with a divine inner strength that helps ground us and travel with us through the many challenges we face in life.  Before we can even begin to find happiness with someone else, or in the world, we have to begin with liking ourSELVES.  To take responsibility for who we are and what we do.

Acts of respect and courtesy are reflections of how much we value others.  We have all heard the expression, “no man is an island” its been around for years, and it has stayed around, because over and over it is a lesson we need to be reminded of.

All meaning in life is arbitrary.  It is not tied to god, family or self unless we define it as such.  Nothing in life gives us meaning in and of itself.  It is we who assign meaning to objects and relationships.

That said, Wake up World!  It is Tuesday, have a happy happy day!   Blessings.. Oyashikiri

Good Monday Morning Everyone

Feb.2._001

 

There is a great sense of joy when we are able to express our true selves.   Our environment and the things that happen all around us, are all materials for self expression.  In PL we are taught that with God’s blessing, we will be able to freely express ourselves using these materials.  When  I found this little church tucked away between   a wooded area and the sea, the artist’s build brought a genuine smile and joy to me.  If you are virtual traveler this is the link to ! The Sanctuary ” Our Lady Lourdes of Lourdes”,   the url is  http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Excellens/189/209/67

Always  focus on your true feelings and express yourself honestly.  It was in following where my footsteps led that I found this little sanctuary

By leading  a cheerful, joyful and beautiful life, you will learn to work for the happiness of orders as well as yourself.    PL Precept #21   LIFE IS ART

World Peace

!cid_16_1770918552@web160903_mail_bf1_yahoo

 

World peace starts with peace at home… Our world is overflowing with problems.  When we pray, let’s pray for not only family and friends, but for the happiness and peace of the entire world.  the joy of expressing kindness to others is much greater than when someone does something kind for you. When we can be genuinely happy for someone else, our lives will be blessed and we will experience a deeper sense of happiness.  Love is beautiful, it is pure, and when we share our love beyond our own borders, it flows out to the entire world.  Amen!    Oyashikiri
