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

PL Precept # 11 Always be with God
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..

PL Precept #11 Always be with God
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. =^_^=

I found my thrill
check out the grill
Bonus, the owner when he got this vehicle
got a second cab for it..
I was over the moon
To wander and discover
all there was to see that afternoon
would have been impossible to do
what time I did have
amongst the rusted tarnished metal
was pure and simple joy
each piece told a story
each shade of rust and weathered paint
presented me with a genuine
connection that I found intoxicating
my encounter with
the treasures
was not sophisticated art
but it animated
my heart

found near Bennett Lake, Ontario
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

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.

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
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

discover the true meaning of life
only then will you find true happiness

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!

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
