meditation
Those were not my words back when I was actively working … because back then we didnt’ text, there wasn’t a cell phone attached to almost every household, in fact likely none. But to those who came wanting to learn to meditate, it was almost always about their need to find a quiet place for themselves, within the confines of their busy lives. Young professionals needing and wanting grounding.
Just Be……… so easy to say, so hard to do.
Common when I asked, “Did you get to meditate since we last met?” Answer, “Only, a few times, but each time I was interrupted, or the neighbour, (or children etc.) were making so much noise, I couldn’t concentrate”
And there lies the problem. meditation isn’t about concentration, it isn’t about having candles in the room, or soothing music with a nice incense happening. Meditation is the art of staying in touch with your own personal connection to the “Divine”. God lives in us all… the Energy of Life is the force that makes us all ONE.
If ever you have been blessed with someone in your life where just being together, or knowing that the other is close by, is comforting, and an extension of YOU, that is a special bond, and one that – simply is – We can’t manufacture this sense of extension, sense of Oneness, it simply is. You just are…. and if someone hasn’t had that experience it is hard to explain it to them. They have to find it in themselves. Because a state of peaceful existence begins within.
So many quotes, so many words…” meditation is inaction.”.. do you believe that? There is active meditation for example when one is practicing or engrossed in working out,, dancing, focused on the moment, you are so intent on the moment, although you hear the world around you, it is lost to you in that moment. In that moment, all that is …. is where you are… and what you are doing… that is a form of meditation. That is meditation.. it is you “BEING”

Love
And why not?
Why do I have to wait to be flowery
only on one special day?
Golly gee,
the way I see it
is, I really care
and love you every day
truth be told, I like you too
so today and every day
I’ll do my very best
to let you know, some how, some way
in all I say and do
that you are the best ever, and like I really really mean it
when I say
I love you.

praying together
I happened to arrive at church today as the people in residence were about to gather in prayer to start the day. Being there I joined in. It is a prayer that is said daily, and not new to me, yet, standing there with the ministers and family members, I felt a rush of joy at being there, sharing in the morning prayer.
In prayer we are all connected. The bond grows stronger.
close your eyes and reverently pray
that today, you will keep the connection
with the Universe/God
in all you say and do.
no more, no less

BE HAPPY – BE SAFE
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.

prayer
what will I do today
I will pray
I will walk in the sunshine
feel the sun on my face
and I will pray
when I am too tired
to walk, I will sit
in the shade
and I will pray
everything I do in life
is done with a prayerful mind
thank you God for the abundance
of love and joy in my life
thank you for the bounty at my table
and the gift of friends that care
please watch over
and provide for my friends & family
it is with gratitude in my heart
that I am beginning another day

lingering
lingering, I heard the waterfall
before I spied the lush
beauty of your curves
how mesmerizing
even tantalizing
the light on the surface
shimmered a soft golden glow
on the undulating water.
and suddenly I was totally lost
in the wonderful moment
of your hypnotic allure
this magical spell
the bliss of
pure joy

Q
– 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…. Life is Art. PL Precept #1

unspoken friendships
Remember the little nursery rhyme
now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep….
Do remember when the talk was all about astral travel
and philosophers talked on about where our minds went during sleep..
… too academic for me…=^_^=
— basic A B C’s for me….
There was a time I would not have ever allowed a dog on my bed
never mind, on the sheets or sleeping beside me..
Time and circumstances have changed that
I now understand and feel things I didn’t before
What I have learned in life
that friendships that last
are the friendships with a past
The Mother who lovingly took these pictures
over a period of time
will always the remember these moments
and even though young, the child
will grow up feeling an unspoken bond
for animals
In sleep mode we are vulnerable to the world around us
yet there is cosmic connection to what is happening
Sometimes we unconsciously know that the world around us
is not balanced, and sleep is slow to happen
Even changing rooms will not help, because the unrest
is within you.
No matter where you go, or run, there you will be…..
the bond of sharing is a delicate one
there has to be mutual trust
and the security that comes of faith
in the connection of souls
born of innocence
and a genuine love
not built on egos, preconceived ideas,,
words, promises, just unspoken
heart-felt caring
sharing
that transcends time
and mortal boundaries…
Being able to listen and care
for what a friend is saying
or doing
to walk in silence
content to know that
you are both aware of each other
but need not talk
the being together is enough
that is an awesome
inspiring connection
appreciate such moments
for they are rare
and like a diamond in the rough
the connection is felt
not seen
friendships that last
are friendships
that can stand the
test of time
for they were
born
in another
time.
My love to each and
every one of you…
now and always…

Q
Sunday Hug
You never realize the value of a kind compassionate hug, until you have received on, Sometimes we forget that in some societies a show of affection, or a hug is not something that is done. I’m sure you all know or have known people in your lives who simply don’t hug, or show any kind of outward affection.
Lately there have been groups that form so that they can experience a hug, or what is it I heard and saw on the telly the other month, you could hire someone to hug you. Oh yes, and I was told by a reliable source, that men (sorry don’t know about women) can hire someone to be their girlfriend for an hour or two, where they can just be physically intimate, holding hands, hugging (and being a grown up, should that lead to something else…) What has caught my interest in all of this is that with all that is happening, we can put someone on the moon, we develop technology that can have us talking to people in foreign lands, with just a click of a button. But we still don’t know what a hug is all about.
Remember the “air kiss”… ah, allo, bonjour… kiss, kiss… sometimes one side of the face, sometimes both… and many times it is a real sign of affection and happiness at meeting a friend. However, with anything that is done repetitiously it then becomes a habit and the kisses are given from a mile away (ok slight exaggeration )
Not everyone is comfortable with being hugged, or having someone up close and too personal. Sometimes being there, sharing a coffee, listening and simply being a good listener, with true compassion and love in your heart is enough.
Not everyone is blessed with having grown up in an environment or with people who show their love in a way that includes a warm embrace and a loving hug.
Shared laughter, and a hug that is purely one of love and friendship is a gift that only can be given from the heart. It is when we are truly in the moment and can freely respond to another’s smile, need, or presence that the joy of the moment can be felt.
You are never alone
Always I am with you in spirit
and should you doubt
you need only look out
at the evening stars,
their twinkle is my code to you
happily saying I love you in a thousand ways
or the morning sun and feel my touch
as a breeze gently tousles your hair
or sunbeams kisses your cheek
I am in the air your breath
for I am everywhere
now and always
