Buen dia, a reflexion
Sometimes love is about taking care of the moment. being aware of one’s inner SELF.

Exotic Bali + meditation
Tropical beach, look at that water, this is the Ayana Resort and Spa in Bali. Hmmm I have a friend who is on holiday in Bali, she has been sending back the most incredible pictures. Her face beams in every picture where she is in them. Got me thinking, admittedly some of the pictures had me thinking ahhhh yes, a massage by the pool, then a lazy afternoon enjoying the tropical sunshine and breezes.
This is Huilo, Huilo in Neltume, lodges built on a biological reserve, they are environmental wonders. they are uniquely in touch with their surroundings… perfect for nature lovers, lots of hiking, exploring, totally different kind of holiday.
This is a picture found on 500px.com, of Dawn in Bali by Ko Zaw………………….. does this calm the mind or what.. Ok, today I’ll go with the calm, quiet atmosphere of the gentle waters and soothing sounds provided by the beaches and coastline of the areas shown in these pictures to colour my day.
We can’t always be where we might like to be at any given moment in time, but we can thanks to the technology today, be where our hearts take us. The destination is usually coordinated by our often busy chattering minds. In taking the time for a quiet moment, the mind will sigh with relief…. share with me a quiet moment… allow your thoughts to travel with mine in to the depth of the blues and greens, see the little white pebble like shapes, the tiny bird,… then allow you eyes to drift beyond towards the horizon, …. feel your breathing , enjoy the soft swell of your chest as you silently allow the moment to wash over you.
Take this shared moment, the soft, sweet tenderness of now… and carry it into your day…
Seriously, luxury lagoon villa, for those of you who needed a different visual.. now did that get a smile……
Carry the smile all through the day.. you’ll see it is catching.
Short meditations work, whether you want them to or not.

on the road again
Ar this time of year,
the fall colour beckons
the call is mysterious and haunting
the sky no matter,what time of day
can’t hide the magnificent display
of Mother Nature’s awesome art
she uses every ruse at her command
to tantalize and entice us
by hooking up to all our senses
Like a spider she spins her web
we don’t even see, or notice… till it is done’
the intricate pattern, the ability to create such beauty
with such methodical precision yet delicate and balanced
we really are, part of a master plan
our reality and observations
change from day to da
so no matter where we are,
where we go
nature is all around us
ok, taking off to enjoy the day
you coming?
and NO.. this is not a selfie

sowing love
Given a choice, I want love in my life. In order to have love in my life, I have to learn to suppress my ego. Ego is something that I have to deal with on a daily basis. Ego often intrudes on my day by wanting me to do or say something that may satisfy me in the moment, but will it do so at the cost of peace of mind.
While out with a friend today. since she was driving I could sit and look around in a way I can’t do if I’m the driver. There was no concept of time, just a feeling of quiet and a gentle happiness. The day was awesome, temperature for me was perfect, the sunshine bright and warming, yet the cool freshness of a fall day would lazily drift in and around us while we walked along to where we were headed. The meal wasn’t the best… but we had fun just being together and living the moments. Others in the restaurant shared their disappointment in the general disorganization of the place.It was under renovation, and instead of closing while they did what they had to do.. they were open for business. It was not a good experience -food wise- other than that.. it was great being with a close and long time friend.
We often get to spend time alone, even when we are surrounded by people, we can be alone. Our minds either allow other energy in, or it dismisses it. I can be very content on my own, my creative juices can run rampant when I am left to be creative. But when I am sharing time with a friend, and that friend is connected to the me that is inside my head, wow, it is beyond any words that I could use to express the moments that we share. It can be as silly as eating food with the wrong end of the chopsticks. Or saying something mundane and silly yet to us it is mind-blowing and profound.
It is in knowing our true selves, that we can sow love with the knowledge that love IS eternal and it does last forever.
True love is the energy that binds us together. in solitude we are experiencing a copulative moment in the spiritual realm.. the connection pure and everlasting.
‘When our resolve is to live a life of love. Sitting in solitude is a healing energy… and when we share with all sincerity , the essence of that love grows as does the friendship.
When life is taken from us, we can only let it. LIke waves of the ocean, or the rings in a tree, we are where we are supposed to be. Acceptance makes us stronger.. pushing against Nature’s forces, will only make the lesson harder.
Be safe – Walk in peace

Sun and Moon
As clear as day
I saw the sun and moon
when you looked into my eyes
I know no other way
to express that moment in time
when in a single moment,
I knew the meaning of sublime
how often have I meditated and prayed
to know such intense and immense joy
suddenly I am so alive
this is not something I can contrive
no, I know… I really really know
together, we are divine.
God is love, we are ONE

now, today 8.5.15
PL# 18 – Each Moment is a Turning Point..
We walk past a door (opportunity)…. or we seize the moment.
PL # 15. All is a mirror
When we are calm we reflect that quiet serenity
I love this picture, like, WoW, these mountain goats are climbing a near vertical wall. I found it on a site, that just now when I went back to reference it again, the page was gone, or not available to me. We speak of reflection, perception, to the photographer who took this picture, I say kuddos for your patience and ability to do this capture. My musing is, in Nature, the animal does what is instinctively right, …. need to get to point X, hmmm what is the best way, oh yes, this way, and simply goes about doing it.
The mind, I can speak for mine will often prevent me from doing something, because I think about it too much.
PL Precept #1 – Life is Art
Every day, every waking moment, is a new beginning.
Spanish moss draped like a golden chandelier, some one with a creative mind and vision, got the idea, “saw it” “acted on it” et voila!
PL Precept #19 – Begin once you Perceive
If you are wondering how many Precepts we have in PL Perfect Liberty, we have 21 Precepts.
PL Precept #21 – Live in Perfect Liberty
By following the Precepts, we grow each day in all ways, to live our lives in a peaceful and meaningful way, helping others to know love, happiness, and caring friendships, creating an ambiance that will bring us to world peace.

Love is not an emotion that can come and go
if you truly love, it is forever
love is God
you / me
ONE
timing
Being in the right place at the right time, having your camera at the ready, and the lighting just what is needed to capture a moment in time.
When I saw this photo, taken by John Westrock, posted on Flickr, I thought, “what a good capture? and moved away, but something drew me back to look more closely. I must have contemplated on this picture for some time… I saw how the graffiti in the background sat like a halo over his head.
I wondered if the two shoes on his feet matched. Some how, I felt that this man was having a peaceful morning smoke and was contemplating life in his own way. I decided he was content just basking in his solitude.
Of course this is totally a fabrication of my own. I wasn’t there, I don’t know the man and have no idea just how long ago this was taken, or where it was taken.
What I do know is that the artist/photographer had a talent and a good eye to see what he did and click that shutter when he did. I thought I’d visit his page to see what else he had posted. Hellooooo.. not what I expected at all.
Timing, patience,total focus on the moment, these are the ingredients of a good capture, a moment caught in time, some are worthy saving, some are not. Some moments will change you forever…
So it is in our daily lives, I began my thoughts this morning with the 1st photo, that I now know was taken sometime in 2013, research and dedicated time to search precious moments, a luxury, no I don’t think so. I believe we owe it to ourselves to make each moment count, in a way that allows us at the end of the day to say, “thank you God” I had a wonderful day.
When we live practicing the Precepts and Principles of PL (Perfect Liberty) we grow to know that no matter what the day brings our way, we can deal with it, we can embrace the moment and learn just what it is about ourselves that caused that moment to take place.
In PL, there is a Precept, #7, Everything exists in Relativity – Precept # 11 is – Always be with God, two of my favourite meditations.
Timing
when we find ourselves truly embraced
and caught up in the moment
we often will find that we have come face to face
with an unspoken fear
and in that very moment
the fear is no longer buried by layers of the past
for you have recognized it, at last.

I knew
I knew I had gone in before
but today, I met with a closed-door
no matter how hard I pushed
I couldnt get in
We encounter daily problems
in similar ways
they just seem to plague our days
yet, if we step back
and take a different tack
we often find we were on the right track
only our approach needed new perspective
we did in fact, know
only our focus was inactive
it is important in life
to stop and allow your mind to chill
your body to relax
so that each day can really begin
brand new.

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”

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
