darn I missed the bus

Palermo

when we travel in unknown places

our first impression

often is a lasting impression

often we are on the tourist routes

and explore the areas

we are directed to by travel guides

or the familiar places we’ve read about

or seen on the silver screen

japan off the beaten track, away from tourists

In Japan off the beaten track,

in small villages and towns

you will find places

like above that are where

people live and tend to daily life

away from city life and

commercial hype

4.8.15 Zen_001

sometimes missing the bus

is a personal message

to slow down

594b85c47ce327c738971eaece42ffe0

… to reclaim

life….

and the beauty of living in a more

peaceful state

unique

OldTree BC Canada

we are all unique

some of us are tall,

some of us are small

best of all

God loves us all !

Nature/God is always around us

reminding us

no matter where we are

or where we go

we are all part of a whole

appreciate your roll

in life

you will wear many hats

and be a character

in many plays

but always

you will be center stage

living life,

page by page

look in a mirror

what you see there

is what I see

and brother/sister

you are in my heart forever

we are ONE

**Q

Hey how is it going?

2dc35c7b4670ff57cdf118cdc6d72cce

how you doing my friend

its been awhile

I got to thinking the other day

of the times we had back when

we had time to play

remember those lazy days

at the lake,

we had so much fun didn’t we

our world was so full of adventure

the discoveries were amazing

fcd365f874f78d1c23bc444785ed52ed

What happened to the fairgrounds

and all the dreams we had

how is the family, especially your Dad

remember how he used to joke around with us

does your Mom still makes those awesome pies

d824924a147f607abcde32f32f27f144Those early morning

boat rides, especially

if we got to take the canoe

how well I remember the

calm and the thrill of it all

gosh, was it really so very long ago!

f5e0ca8663a6194cd59fd2ad76eb8e8c

I know we can’t go back, the sands of time are slowly shifting.  R.I.P. my friend, say hello to family and friends you meet on your new journey. I’ll see you soon, meanwhile know you are forever in my heart.

What if

Zen 4.1._003What if, you went to the ball,

instead of dancing all night

you sat alone and listened to the music

and didn’t dance at all

Were you waiting for Mr. Right

or could it have been your heart was tired and sick

Why, why cries the inner voice

you do have a choice

stand up, turn and walk away

David Kyn  April 1

some times our dreams are not centered on reality

but rather an illusion of another time

when love was blind and you believed

in once upon a time.

10668897_460719010743255_1842880486782350751_o

love was raw

the passion intense

yet it didn’t last, it faded like a summer’s day

before the  first winter storm

and you were left to find the pieces of your broken dreams

David Kyn does it again...March 8 (Darkyn Dover)did you really believe he was your prince

that finally at long last, all the make believe was coming true

there is only one way to find your one and only true love

and that is to know what makes you happy

and to want it more than anything

because it will be for you, and only you.

for two to be one

both have first to know themselves

saying I love you, is not enough

words are words,

actions speak louder than  words

1966225_435511973263959_3399222912206811443_o

we are never alone

we may feel alone, but we are never alone

we have but to listen to our hearts

and know that we our connected

the miles  disappear

when we are connected by the awareness

that we are all ONE.

compromise

d32d9e24148310bce6ea28f49d63113aShould I …. or shouldn’t I

we may not say it out loud

but our hesitation, our actions

or non actions

speak volumes

9da3f3320415cdad3b34bb83c0ab7fee

do we some times, learn to late

that perhaps we should have given a bit more thought

to a situation or opportunity,

before, we stepped out to meet “fate”

mirkwood_nursery_by_ethe-d5tf6bg

sometimes it is our choice

of friends, and/or toys

we surround ourselves with

our time on earth is a gift

02f190ad6f58276eff7d8e55c815f5dc

and yes, it seems that we are constantly being challenged

by one choice or another

and, yes, our minds just never stop chattering

one solution always brings up another possibility

788f8b0121508195f905acd684b85b4f

compromise can make  life more complicated

know what YOU want for yourself

never compromise with your SELF

once something is said or done

we can not take it back

bridges

2a8268ca-a0d8-427a-8842-b994e5311781

sometimes I find myself standing by a bridge

not sure whether or not to cross to the other side

I wonder, should I stand and  enjoy the view from where I am

even while I hesitate, I know I want to see the other side

86a2f374-6cda-4e66-ae95-b22ecb0a9d5f

others are seen crossing bridges every day

why do I hesitate

why is it that I seem to be cast in stone

my feet not moving, my arms by my side

I appear to be still, but I’m all a muddle inside

cb919886-886c-4d50-8962-378cbc98df68

by day it does seem so inviting

and really, we can walk back if the other side is not to our liking

or can we…

having crossed over, we are looking ahead

coming back, we would once more  be starting from the other side

and the way forward, would be a totally different path

d82023b8-8865-497f-a159-3a68a4022cd7

why, because, day is day and night is night

and try as you might

we can never go back to where we started

nothing would be the same

yes it is a shame, but such is life

if you fail to live the moment, when it happens

tomorrow it will be gone

5df705f6-b23d-49ec-aa9e-783e615015b6

is it wrong to want to cross every bridge we see

when your heart is strong, and your head is clear

you will know what to do

your feet will fly like the wind

and you will meet your destiny

happily and cheerfully

549321b5-4633-41c7-baf2-b2f9caad63f8

bridges were built to be crossed

and we were born to live our lives

crossing bridges, learning and growing

each step of the way

today while watching  the sun melt the ice

I delighted as it  crystalized before our eyes

the morning sunlight cast a golden halo

around my furry little friend, as she watched with me

0119ceae-5926-4028-bf52-e609ccddbb3f

how about some tea, she said

I had to smile she was being such a silly little nilly

is this not what life is all about

new discoveries and sharing with friends

2ba1810b-adf8-45ab-a0ad-1121f8db687f

oh, have we met yet? said Mrs. squirrel

to my friend  Sal  and her little charge baby Pearl

8aeed60d-0f17-4cae-b121-6d6541dbf589

no we haven’t yet, but you are welcome in our world

we love to  laugh, share and hug

 we truly care about our friends, ,

happiness is the order of the day

bad5b3e9-0a0a-464e-b010-7e4db8cf0ca7

I’m all for that said Mrs Squirrel

36c0c195-9dbb-4b19-baf6-7f3f3620d980

What are you waiting for, grab a cuppa tea

and join with us on this glorious day

it is up to us to make this a memorable day

Friends bring the sunshine to our days

handle things that come  your way

one by one, and there is nothing

that can’t be done

one way or another, a moment shared

is a moment lived as ONE

Snow in March

It was a fresh blanket of snow when that greeted me when I opened the door to let the dog out. That magical soft white that sits like powdered sugar on the trees and dusts everything in sight with a crystal blanket of angel dust.aa9cf2966c07c98e8351f4910fb7ba66The early morning sky still had a soft gray shading that had the world around still in sleep mode.  No buses, no cars, just the soothing quiet of an early morning.  T’is lovely, and I was tempted, very tempted to step outside and sit in a deck chair to extend the beauty of the moment.

89719dc678ce0c9547340e843b1e78b5The season’s change, sometimes they simply blend one into the other, and other times, the change can be more dramatic. Life, mirrors the cycles that transpire in Nature . Sometimes we are very much  center stage, at other times we are back stage,making it all happen, or in the audience, enjoying watching events unfold.

9bb9961853a2ec5afd42236da1505e4f

Wherever the path leads today, I know it will be a great day, why, because it is my choice to have a good day.  I will share with friends I meet along the way, and will be blessed by the joy of sharing.  Even if it is for a moment or two, when we connect and focus on the moment, we are, in that moment,ONE with God/life/Universe.

I commit this day to be one of growth in every area of my life.

Drudgery ?

d4b2c1af36e8945186dfcb4122c5ca16Life can become repetitive, yes it can, the same old routine, same people, same tired old jokes, same complaints, and boy are their negatives.  It seems that the whole day is spent dealing with the problems of others, or the dissatisfaction(s), you yourself are experiencing.

90f67282ff2ce5b6ee7bb7c5669f3251

It is true that often our lives are regulated, or for whatever reason, our days are compartmentalized.  We develop routines, we make or are put on a schedule, this leads to deadlines, objectives, goals, and on and on it goes.  What we do is monitored, evaluated, assessed and rated.

797de6233ec0f8601240a653b9d0b9e5

What we eat, the cars we drive, the clothes we wear, everything it seems comes off some kind of production line, assembly line, processing station, and yet we don’t know or realize that we have let our own lives replicate a mechanical and programmed “lifestyle”

f9762bfa96962b7bff910e27902ded26

Oophs, what happened here, LOL … a time shift, this was a picture taken for a community post by Nat Fabman in 1954 (Life Magazine) of a Fresno dairy farmer (Arch Badertscher) milking his cows alongside his two farm cats, Blackie and Brownie.  A little playfulness in the day, sort of gives a warm fuzzy, and a bit of a smile.  The first few pictures, didn’t do much for you did they?

c18f49b3360565654a20e3cc0bd2ddbf

Sometimes, NO, not sometimes, on a regular basis, we have to STOP and get off the treadmill, and get out to explore, and smell the roses(flowers} no one else can do it for us.  When we repeatedly do the same things day after day, life gets stale, and we find ourselves in a rut.

165b1e4e38c512583343e7fb302eae0b

Usually the fences and walls we find around us, were man-made (look in the mirror).  John Wayne was said to have started his day by saying,”yes, looks likes it is going to be another fine day” no matter what… begin your day in a positive way, and work towards carrying that thought with you throughout the day.

Faith

f074a2327642ae68f5cc2a51e04c1c5b

Some days we climb the stairs to our destination

without a thought or glance

at the world that surrounds us

we hurry, we let our thoughts race ahead

never stopping our chattering mind

till our tired head hits the bed

75148da8b6d4be26d30fcfdedd83f640

we compartmentalize our days

storing memories away

to maybe revisit on another day

a08c405ea1d23c3cc2bd32ff9278fcd6

Time does get away from us

and soon the memories

lie like dust on all that was

and we are left wondering

how so many years were squandered

because we didn’t take the time

778fde46a2daf12422ad1a140b461d76

to cultivate and look after our core

we always wanted more

yet that never satisfied the need

for what we sought

we already owned

it is never too late

to rediscover our faith

f7637a3f536c8005b73e6075b3521d83

we are all ONE

life is for living

faith in our oneness

our connection to the Universe

faith will open the doors

so we can once more explore

only now, we will be

aware of the road we are travelling

and feel the sun  as it nurtures

and makes us ONE
