Happiness is… … discovering

Every day, I look for inspiration for my meditation/prayer and this blog. Today I travelled to Scotland, I’ve not been personally but my sister and nephew have, both have come back with stories and pictures of a magical place.

I also found this text, by Peekytoe Crow, the picture that will follow the text is what inspired this person to write what they did. His/her words are worth sharing with you today.

People universally tend to think that happiness is a stroke of luck, something that will maybe descend upon you like fine weather if you are fortunate enough. But that’s not how happiness works. Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it. You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestations of your own blessings. And once you have achieved a state of happiness, you must never become lax about maintaining it…

This was my next find.

Being at Peace

and being who you are … that is

Being yourself … are one.

Your only opportunity to be at peace

is Now.

Make peace with the present moment…

The secret in life, of success and happiness

is to be ONE with life…

Life is the dancer, and you are the dance.

I love being open to what the day will bring my way. Sometimes I’m ready for it, other times I may not be, but how wonderful it is that from day-to-day a new canvas, new opportunities appear. In everything we strive to do, maintain makoto (sincerity) in your heart, the Universe/God will see you through today and beyond. Always and Forever.

a story

It was wild, it was fierce, the wind and rain pelted viciously against the window, there was nothing to do but wait.

Thunder rumbled across the angry sky, I could feel the shuddering of the wooden floor in the little cabin, as the storm picked up its tempo. Across the bay I could see lights flickering along the shoreline. Everything was blurred by an almost solid curtain of falling rain. A loud staccato filled the air, a sharp piercing light filled the sky as yet another bolt of lightning shot across towards the distant shore.

Suddenly there was quiet, the lights across the bay had all gone out. It was silent, and it was black.

The all-encompassing passion of the storm had passed. Where before, the rage, the immediate explosion of emotion had grabbed all of my attention. Now I was alone again with my thoughts. For a time I had fed on the energy that surrounded me, now it was time to listen to the quiet.

Such is life. Each day is a new beginning. How you handle each circumstance that appears before you, will determine the outcome. Storms are necessary to clear the air .. storms return balance to an atmosphere that has become toxic. Life is for living. No more…. No less….

shadow art, and verse

“First impression” are not always what they seem

even though, the 1st impression is

often what stays in our mind.

Never “judge a book by its cover”

when we respect the differences in others

we learn more about ourSelves

we, are all more than the image we see

reflected back to us in a mirror

Good morning everyone, blessings be….

may your day be full of wonder and mystery

may a gentle Hand of God/Tao, guide you through a magical day

haunting

so hauntingly beautiful

so hypnotic to the soul

how is it that such visual rendering

can so silently enter

into our personal world of fantasy

silent echos weave through the mind

leaving emotional images recreate moments in time

when only the sublime is left

to imprint a message that cannot be easily defined

love is such an emotion

so awesome, so divine

its haunting power fills the mind

in no way can it be confined

there is no me

there is no you

we are united in the

haunting Universe of ONE

hello, my name is……

Bonjour, mon non et……

my telephone number is ….

je rappellerai plus tard….

I will call back later…

Au revoir….

simple sentences

said in another language

can be so confusing

when we are new to the language and culture

express yourself freely says the lesson of the day

how do you do that when you are in a strange country

with a language totally different from your own

PL Precept # 15

All is a Mirror

the languages may be different,

but the human being

will always have a caring heart

with a need for understanding

compassion and love

look, listen,

pay attention

what have you heard, what did you see

“beauty is not in the flower or image you admire,

beauty is in YOUR Being ” (Lily Bright)

a story, people,time,places

Don’t worry .. this is a short story =^_^= I was recently asked to go through long forgotten boxes (husband doing a clean up and rearranging in part of the house).. I got to go through several boxes of pictures. Pictures, tons of pictures, there was nothing to do but sit down with a box and begin.

What emerged were pictures of another lifetime,in fact ..many life times . People, places long gone from my present. Although I did remember some of the moments, if I’m honest, many moments captured were really no longer part of my current bank of memories, and most of the people who I came across would be total strangers to me now. I wouldn’t recognize them unless they came up to me and said, “hey, remember me…”

Like pebbles in the ocean

being washed in by the waves

daily our lives change…

sometimes the changes are subtle

other times, the change is drastic

shattering your life pattern

so that nothing remains the same…

the quiet slow changes do the same,

only you have time to assimilate

and are always on top of your game.

The memories were and are good … I realized that although at the time I might not have appreciated the growing pains…

( IF there was any) but in seeing the happy faces, and the recalling the moments/events/happenings, I felt really blessed to have had such caring and loving friends.

People change, friends drift apart, what was, was, and what is, IS. The saying “when one door closes, another opens” is so bang on. When we enjoy life, with all the opportunities we are offered, greet the day with enthusiasm, our days become more rewarding. Not matter what it is, what the day bring, really get into it. Put your heart into everything you do, don’t squander the adventures offered by the Universe.

When you go through a door, don’t just open it, walk through, and forget it, each door tells a story, make sure you leave your presence known. What will your story be today.

a story that begins with a door!

history

Can we obliterate the past

If we turn the other away

will the memory be erased

like a brush wipes away the chalk marks

on a well used blackboard

We edit, rewrite, correct and revise

even with all the amendments

the past is still present

in our minds, even echoed in

perhaps diluted form, but repeated

never-the-less

for even when a lesson is learned

lt only gives birth to yet another

phase of the adventure we embarked on

when we were first conceived.

no more… …no less

the wedding

I attended a wedding yesterday, the bride wore a beautiful white wedding gown, the groom and his best men were all dressed in a classic tux, bridesmaids all wore lovely gowns, it really was beautiful to see. The service took place in a lovely garden, the setting was perfect for the union of two people who so in love they have committed not only to themselves that they will love each other and enter into that very special bond of man and wife… they are now making that vow public, for their friends and the world to share in their happiness. The picture, the water, all so inviting.

When one looked beyond the pretty ambiance, fashion, decor, and “stage” settings, and took in the people and the overall vibe of the place, suddenly the picture wasn’t so pristine and pretty, it took on a different season, and the water was less inviting. Couples were not sitting in harmony with each other, they were many of them simply there. Some I knew were openly negative with each other. Others were simply there because it wasn’t “polite/right” to not be there.

Life is like a river that is always on the move, sometimes it is raging and driven with purpose, other times it is mellow and simply meandering, but always it is active.

A wedding ceremony to me is like a moment in the building of a bridge between two people. How well that bridge is built and then maintained will determine how long the two parties will remain connected.

Always however, they will be joined in the Universal bond of ONENESS, their roots will be forever entwined.

The cosmetics of the rituals that humans put on the sharing of one’s life with a partner or soul mate, or self defined.

The reality is, that we are all ONE.

How we reach out and interact with our other “selves” is very telling on where we are in our personal journey of growth.

Like a tree in the forest, we don’t always get to choose where we will sprout and grow, but grow we will, it will be the depth of our roots and the determination of our will, and our faith in our ability to grow that will see us survive.the test of time.

I am a firm believer that in using the word love ( a word that captures a lot of imagination, and can me so many different things to anyone who uses it) … LOVE … if we replace it to say ..in GOD, I will, or I am, our actions will be/would be entirely different, and our thought and commitment would also be different.

We all need air to breathe, and we all need love in our lives.

When we commit to being with someone, sharing our lives with that person, we are saying, you are the air that i breathe, the bridge between us is strong, and I will work very hard to maintain my part of the bridge. Our roots will grow stronger, and though we may not always see the same view in or of the forest, our roots will be forever entangled and our commitment to live together on this earth will be evidenced by the security and strength of our bridge.
