Yesterday I looked up as I was walking back to my car, and saw a Benedictine monk standing behind a stand of trees, I got out my camera.. I had to look a few times, but yes… I saw him standing there as clear as day. As I put the camera into a different position, and moved to get a better shot, a big white van backed up and obstructed my view. The moment had come and gone.
The photographer driving the van offered to pull out so I could get the shot but you all know, if you don’t catch it when the light is just right and you are in the one spot where the “moment” appears.. its gone, lost.
Life is a series of moments.. no more.. no less.
Move forward with confidence. Experience you have acquired through efforts so far are wonderful. Give it all you’ve got.

A drive through a rural area that I had not visited in some time … a breath of fresh air, living in a bustling city with constant traffic, near 4 major hospitals, a baseball stadium, and bustling commercial areas, this was a drive that was soothing and restful. Hope you enjoy the doors that we passed along the way,

Have a good day everyone… smile …brighten your day and those around you,
When the leaves begin to fall, that is when we find secret treasures in the woods. There are times when life happens,
When this car was found late one autumn day .. in an empty lot .. off a country road, far away from anywhere I would usually be… even tho’ I knew nothing about the car.. I felt a sadness … somehow it just felt abandoned, I thought of that car for days,… and then the vision faded and the moment was lost in a folder somewhere … today I found the folder again.. and all the feelings of that moment when I first saw the car came flooding back… Only this time.. I appreciate the rediscovery of that moment. It had been a fun day, a day out with a friend, simply exploring.
If like myself, you are a person who captures memories/moments … you know the happy moment of rediscovery. What was is gone, but the memories live on. Only constant in life is change. ( one of my mantras)
Make today a “Give back day” We can live our daily lives owing to our ancestors, our elders, and the work of our predecessors. Above all, kindness for others is the best way to give back,
Talk about a quiet little hide-a-way. I was just telling a friend who asked how I have been doing the last while how much I enjoyed the change of seasons. We have gone from days on end of above average sunshine and hot weather, to typical fall weather, cool, damp, raining days/nights / with periods of clear skies.
Colours were appearing everywhere, the skies were blue and beckoning. Not so yesterday when I passed by these trees, the rain had pelted down for hours on them, many of the leaves had given up and let go, Change can happen in an instant. When it does, what is there to do but accept. Today is another day.
I came across the picture of the little hide-a-way when I was looking for something else, It struck me as being peaceful. Had me wondering what it must be like to live tucked away like that ,.. is it an opening to a cave, or just a deep overhang.?? I had collected the picture for one of my Thursday door blogs, and today isn’t Thursday, but I wanted to spend time “imagining/dreaming” of just what this little “home” was all about. Anyone out there, does it spark an interest?
Enjoy what happens. people who can enjoy anything happening to them receive wisdom for the next step. Try to work on things without being overly concerned.

Thursday Door … to find a treasure of doorways from Europe taken by wandering photographer MC. (this is a barn building I see every day as I drive to and from conservation area.)
Always be humble. If you work on things with the attitude of asking a favor, people around you will advise you what they have noticed, There is something in fact you are not aware of that you do.
