It was/is said

That in the sky, the heavens above, there is no east/west, north/south, it is the human need for words and direction, that these distinctions were made.  Then over time, the mind believed it to be true…  Because it was said, does not make it so.

Buddha  “You will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished by Your anger.

PL Principle # 5  I will not get angry at anyone or anything.

In PL (Perfect Liberty), PL Precept #4 Being Annoyed Limits your Expression,

PL Precept #5 is One’s Self Is Lost by Being Emotional.

“Have compassion for all beings, rich and poor alike, each has their suffering.  Some suffer too much, others too little.”

Gautama Buddha

Always

live with hope

in your heart

Your soul will be enlightened

when you learn 

not to complain

without suffering

without fear 

without crying.

do not be attached

but do not walk away

life is for living

each joy

each emotion

is a sign 

that you are alive

trust in the moment

a new memory

is being born.

Quiet day…

outer space

Some days

there is no other way

to enjoy the waking hours of the day

but to the let mind play

and have its own way

With God’s grace

I’m going to slow my pace

and enjoy my space

but I am determined that today

will be a quiet day

my dream of peace

winter scene -dreamy

On the first of every month

the church has a ceremony for peace

yet my heart yearns for peace

with each beat of my heart

Like the mist on a cold winter day

I whisper softly the sentiment I feel, into the  words I pray

and hope that some day

every day, will be a day of peace.

winter mist

out of the winter mist

the light of love will glow

   and as it draws nearer

we will all be bathed in a wordless understanding

that will deliver us from the fears

and insecurities that bind us to a world

that is man made, and not

Nature’s WAY

winter swan

Peace lives in my heart

Peace is God’s gift to all of us

Peace is love without borders, boundaries or definition

Love is how we bring peace into our lives

Unconditional love

make it part of each and every moment of our lives

Let us pray together

and nurture this wish for

Universal Oneness

Life is Art

3ac18834547d299c59315daf377391ab

Artistic expressions are what makes life a work of art.  Your life is your very own unique work of art.  If you cut corners are miss important details, you will not be able to live up to your fullest potential.  If you ignore truths, and live life half heartedly you will not live a full life.   Life is full of  an accumulation of small moments.

Where-ever you are, you are a living person, you interact with others, and situations, circumstances that come you way.  In order to do so you express your feelings.  Your life is shaped by the way you express yourself, each and every day.

In PL, Perfect Liberty, on the 1st day of every month we celebrate – Day of Peace – through a ceremony where we pray for World Peace.  We rededicate our purpose in life to live as peaceful human beings in our own worlds.  January 1, is not only the first day of the month, but the first day of a new year.  In PL this is one of four major ceremonies.  We affirm our sincere desire to begin anew, living an artistic life according to the teachings of the PL.

” We live in a vast and awesome universe

in which, daily, suns are made and worlds destroyed,

where humanity clings to an obscure clod or rock. “

Carl Sagan

7b6c26fb578ec4083a80caba2156f154

The Universe is vast and beautiful

unknown and mysterious

yet all of this wonder is part of who and what we are

we, you and I are ONE within this amazing sphere of activity/experience

not one soul or living being is unconnected from the cosmos..

may today, be a day of new awareness

where your heart, body and mind find solace

in the joy of life and living in this great world of ours..

make this the best day ever, 

let it stand out from all the rest

May the blessings of love, peace and joy 

be yours forever

now and always

Thanksgiving service is this Friday, 21st. 7 pm.

A turtle day

a5af37145413a2c598e3eb044df0540fTo the Chinese and other Asian cultures, the turtle is a symbol of longevity.  My Mother had a collection of turtles,  I remember he coming home from her travels abroad with another turtle for her charm bracelet or for the collection that was growing in leaps and bounds in the curio cabinet.  When the turtle comes to mind for me is when I am having what I call a “Turtle Day:”…   Usually a mental health day, a day where I know I want to retreat into my “make believe” shell and just sleep or day dream.

Today is the 21st of the month, the day that in PL (Perfect Liberty) we gather to show our appreciation , saying Thank you, for all that we have experienced in the previous days and weeks.  We pray for guidance and renew our dedication to live with full Makoto (sincerity)  following the practices and instructions as laid out in Perfect Liberty.  Just as we must eat and sleep regularly to refresh our bodies, so too must we  pray and give thanks to God on a regular basis and say Thank you for the blessings of life.

Whatever is meant to be, will be.  The results may not be what we expected or even wanted, but we are open to what life brings our way, we will be truly blessed.  Feelings of appreciation become real when you express them and mean them.

Tranquility

 

Sometimes we need to simply BE

To relax, listen, and drift

Our mind allowed to coast  along waves of music that take us to another realm..

Join me today in a silent meditation… 

Let the ambient sounds clear and cleanse your tired and weary spirit…

Follow along, enjoy the peace and tranquility..

Now and always..

Namaste, Oyashikiri
