Even if you don’t have what you need, you will find a way.  Be creative in your efforts.  If you fixate on what you don’t have, You will never be blessed with wisdom and way to solve your problems. Think creatively to get past any obstacles in your way .Often the Universe steps in and forces a slow down, or a rest that we don’t take time for.  the things that come into our lives, including people and circumstances, happen regardless of what we would prefer, or what is convenient for us.  Nature has a sense of humor that is all her own. =^_^= we, (human beings) are born with the ability to experience pain so that we can avoid pushing our bodies beyond natural limits.  Do we listen?

Q 1.11.14_006

 

When the world lacks colour, we have to find our own.  

Q 1.11.14_005

 

When skies are gray with clouds, rediscover your home – When it is too cold and the outside landscape seems frozen and unwelcoming, snuggle in at home.  Home can be anywhere, find a chair, close your eyes, connect with God and you are HOME.

Q 1.11.14_008

 

PL Precept 11 >Always be with God   in so doing, you will live today and everyday to the fullest.

Spiritual Balance

>A Green Tara Tibetan Temple and former refuge of Atisha, one of Tibet’s greatest teachers. Founded in 1055. Sponsored in Second Life by Free Tibet.  Free meditation zafus, thankgas and other Dharma items are available on the 2nd floor gallery.<

As we travel the roads of life, and encounter the challenges that come our way, it is important that we maintain a spiritual balance.  Our “spirit” includes emotions, energy, hope, courage, , it embraces our individual choices regarding ethics, morals, values and integrity.  How you live your life, what you take from and give to life is an integral part of your spirit.

Let us choose to put our whole heart into whatever we do. Let us practice being mindful towards achieving a better balance in our daily living.  Keep prayer a daily practice, stay connected.

You are always in my prayers, now tomorrow and always… Oyashikiri

 

 

 

Transformations

Transformation “a marked change”

Today’s lesson is to realize that we have changed over time, and to take ownership of these changes.  “Discover the Joy of Transforming Yourself”     Change is ongoing, changes are a continuous factor in our lives, if I’m focused/mindful, would I think that the changes are that remarkable?  Hmm something to ponder don’t you think?  Certainly I see changes from when I was in a career phase, to how I am enjoying life now.  But I loved what I did, I loved the challenges of going in to work every day, certainly I did the grumbling and groaning along some of the paths, but over all it was rewarding to watch projects take shape and reach their goals.  Every day was a new beginning and I still practice that today.  I grew up believing and living with TAO (Universe/God) and the Taoist philosophy -the only constant in life is change – We are all ONE with the Universe… Transformations are part of life.  How are you doing with the changes in your life?

May the Universe shine bright for you today  &  Love fill your world, today, tomorrow and always  Oyashikiri

Good morning, good morning

I’m still reading yesterday’s lesson, “Begin each day with a renewed sense of appreciation”  the sun is streaming in my office window… I slept in late, feeling lazy and happy.  Nice way to start the day, don’t you think?  Had a short conversation of sorts with a young woman from Brazil (Rio) who didn’t speak English, and I don’t speak Portuguese, so it was brief, but enjoyable, we both grabbed a dictionary and did our best.  =^_^=

In doing our best, in putting our heart and soul into what we are doing – being present/focused – we always achieve  a “connection.” In giving our best, we are rewarded with a result, it isn’t always the result we set out for, but it is a result never-the-less.  I’ve learned to appreciate the little detours that the Universe provides, makes learning my “lessons” much more of an adventure … after all…. Life is Art.

The top photograph was taken in Japan, the magnificent sculptured Tower/building can be found on the Perfect Liberty campus in Tondabayashi, Osaka, Japan. (The PL Peace Tower)  The view from the upper rooms is breathtaking.  The second photo is part of the landscaping on campus.

Make today count!  

May your day be filled with warmth, happiness and love.  Always and forever.  Oyashikiri

Another new year

We seem to hear and ask – Where does the time go? ” Time marches on”, yup, if you don’t live each and every moment of your life to the fullest, you find at the end of the year that there are  holes in your memory quilt, some of the patches lack colour, and others are simply blank.

Image

We all hope for colour in our lives, and if life was perfect, we would always live in sunshine.

Image

Making a quilt, we search out the material and patterns like a treasure hunter on the hunt for the elusive hidden  chest of gold.  Most quilters I think will agree with me, it is the hunt, or chase that is the most exciting.  Yes when we find our “prize” its nice, but 9 times out of 10, that prize once it goes into our”Stash”, we are off on the next exciting search for that piece that will just pull it all together.

Life overall is just the same.  it is one constant adventure after the other.  I’ve loved travelling through time with you .. and look forward to our next adventures in 2014.  January 1 is a special day in PL, Perfect Liberty, we celebrate with a special ceremony that marks the start of the New Year.  In this ceremony we dedicate ourselves to begin anew, living an artistic life according to the teachings of Perfect Liberty.

Oyashikiri – Blessings to you all.

Prayer of Protection

2013-01-24 137 on 7.14.13 004

Good Morning everyone!  How are you doing today?  In my world the skies are overcast and the predictions of more freezing rain,snow and then more freezing rain is making for very unhappy holiday travelers.  News reports tell of accidents, and cancelled flights, the worry and the frustrations out there have to be numerous.  The Unity Church  has a prayer that I love, I have kept it with me since I first came to know of it some 20 years ago.  I’d like to share it with you today. (Unity offers a 24 hour prayer line,(Silent Unity) and has a huge campus in the States. if you are unaware of Unity, please Google it.) With the electronic age, I don’t know if they still publish the booklet “Daily Word”  if they do, sample a copy, you won’t be sorry. I will give you the coordinates I have at the end of the post, i hope it is still current.Christianity

Prayer of Protection

The Light of God surrounds us,

The Love of God enfolds us

The Power of God protects us,

The presence of God watches over us

Wherever we are God is and all is well.

To a negative, there is always a positive, where the snow can give us a wonderland of white and crystals, it can be a very dangerous obstacle if we are trying to drive somewhere, or manouver through it to get somewhere.  Please travel safe, be aware, and mindful in all you do. Even if you stay in, eventually you have to go out, shoveling is an activity many of us will be facing.  In some areas, there may be power outages, be prepared.

Every day holds a new blessing……

Be open to divine inspirations….

“Strive for the greater gifts.  And I will show you a still more excellent way”  – 1 Corinthians 12:31

Courage

Have the courage to take the first step.

Image

Sometimes the world seems lonely and we feel a void.  To some the world lacks sunshine, not just on occasion but often enough that they forget the days of warmth and sunshine, when life was full and happy.  There are days when just getting up out of bed is an effort. We’ve all felt that emptiness that begs to be filled. Some find relief in a relationship, others dive headlong into work and stay buried there.  The void may be filled for awhile, but friends come and go, jobs change, that craving/desire for the special “something” returns, often with an even stronger feeling of “need”

In PL (Perfect Liberty) we live a prayerful life,  The goal is to live with God all day, everyday, morning prayer and evening prayer at home, meal prayers, before and after. To be thankful, appreciative,and accepting of God/Universe in us and in our daily lives.  PL Guides us to work towards our goals.  We all of concerns that cannot be resolved easily.  PL has a unique way of responding to problems in our daily lives.  Through consultations given by PL ministers you receive personal guidance tailored to your individual character and situation

You have to have the courage to take the first step.  If you are timid, you will never be able to break free and start something new. BELIEVE in yourSELF and take that first step.

God is the power,source and law of the Universe. Everything that happens in this world is God’s Act. in PL we call God, Mioyaookami.

Vulnerabilities

Vulnerabilities

A warrior takes every person as an adversary
He/she sees all their vulnerable points.
And trains to eliminate his/her own
Only the way of the sage eliminates all weaknesses.
The sage goes beyond concepts of protection,competition,honour and righteousness, and has no fear of death

The sage knows life is merely an illusion.
Life is but one dream flowing into another.  Tao –Deng Ming-Dao

Dec.17_007

A healthy mind is clear and uncluttered, always opened to the heavens/UNIVERSE

Whatever the optimal time of the day for you, set aside time to cultivate your connection/ bond with God/Tao.

World of wonder

World of Snow

Sometimes, we have to really look to see something.

When we do take the time to be present in our surroundings, we are often blessed with a deeper understanding of the moment we are living.
