PL Precept 7 Everything exists in Relativity
Lately I have been watching a lot of Chinese Documentaries, learning about China, not the China I grew up with in my imagination. ( I was born in Canada) but historical and social memories, offered up by CGTN.com. To say it has been a learning experience would be an understatement.
Today a dear friend in Australia sent me this link… Hans Zimmer “light”



Being healthy and staying in shape, is a choice we make.
This cartoon was in one of our PL Publications, I saw it, it just spoke to me, said, share me, Now I have.

The beauty of discovery. I have driven here many many times, yet for some unknown reason, I only “saw” it earlier this week. How I could have driven past and not seen it, is a mystery.
Someone once said… when you are ready.. you will know/or see. It was time!
I am not sure what appeals to me more, the colours, the peeling paint, the shuttered windows and/or the fresh looking paint on the door and little side shed. Part of me thinks someone tried to paint over the old bricks with left over paint from discarded old cans. Whatever, the overall look, works for me.

Once more I saw the open doorway, showing me the path to the other side, this time I dared to wander closer.

There was a silence in the air, yet, there was a breeze and the bird (on the right) made a soft cooing sound as he flew by. His bright feathers so fitting against the blue skies

As I walked my feet made no sound, yet the grass beneath my feet was soft and lush.

The pathway was inviting, I gladly let it lead the way.

Around each corner a new discovery. Can you imagine my delight.

I felt rather than saw the light that seemed to guide me along through the growth that surrounded me on all side. I knew no fear, I felt content and aware of the life around me.

There was much to see and take in. Such creativity, such vision.

When I entered a great hall, I felt small, I was one of many to stand within the walls, I stood alone at that moment in time, yet in my heart I knew, I was not alone. I was surrounded by each and every one of you. See you are here now. . Just not at the moment I was there. (smiles and winks)

There is much to see, enjoy, learn, and share as we grow as human beings and wandering souls. Don’t be afraid to share and love the ALL that you are. Dreams are part of our reality. Whether you believe, or not.

text mine Q
the artists in the virtual worlds, are creators, and imaginaries

you are right’
there is not a blueberry in sight
the cukes are fine
certainly not the same
is a nickel a dime?
oh gosh and darn
maybe a tomato, cucumber sandwich will do
nope, the thought does not appeal
Only blueberries will calm
so sound the alarm
I will be up at dawn
for that sweet, tantalizing taste
of fresh blueberries sold by the case

Sometimes we just have to make do
there are no blueberries, there is nothing to do, but wait.
tomorrow will be another day. tomorrow will come and I will no longer want blueberries.. maybe? What do you think?
Sweet dreams dear friends. If your cloud floats near mine, please wave.
Smile as you pass by, I will feel your vibe… and pass it on.

Good evening dear friends
I like to share. I tried this new product today 5 black grain congee. totally unknown to me, I saw it, and after reading the label decided it was time to give my taste buds a change. Black rice, black soybean, black glutinous rice, black sesame, mulberry fruit and goji berry Doesn’t that sound simply yummy. I followed the directions for cooking it in my rice pot. I had it with Chinese BBQ pork thinly sliced and a bowl of steamed Chinese greens.
For dessert I played in my studio, starting a new page in my October junk journal. For some unknown reason to me, I enjoy the fun of October. This is my second ‘art’ journal dedicated to the silliness of witches, bats and things that go bump in the night. Non fattening too.
There need be no reason or rhyme for the “hobbies” or fun things we do to relax, as long as we take the time we need for ourselves to recharge.
Plan to do something different this week, try something new, spend time with someone you haven’t seen in a while. The boost we get in bringing new vibes into our routine, really helps us to rediscover our own possibilities.

Bom dia, Greetings dear friends, another week-end is here and again, I see that the sun is shining down giving us a beautiful day. The time has been flying by, it seems it has been one sun filled day after another.
That said, I know it is end of August, and soon the magnificent fall season will be here. The countryside will be alive with the jewel colours of autumn. This year I will be ready to explore the changing colours.
LOL One can never have enough shoes. At one time I would have thought that this applied mostly to women, but now I know better.
When we live each day, really live it, we extend our capacity for life and the joys in it No matter what that happiness is. Yesterday I got to have an unexpected trip to my favourite shoe store, the pleasure of a friends company, and then came home to find a wonderful bouquet of flowers waiting for my pleasure and enjoyment. Two wonderful surprises in one day. Wowwwweee.
Yes life is unpredictable, and not every day is a grandstand day, but everyday will hold the mysteries of our environment, it is up to us to be receptive and open to the gift of life, and living.
Sharing and spreading joy…. what a blessing for you and those around you. Reach out and say hello, smile, for no other reason than because you can.
PL calendar, day 28 Always Remember to be Humble
If you take on everything with a humble attitude without being conceited you can learn many things, as well as become a person who can work for the sake of others.

Pansy Patch Park
It is a protected environment, and very special in a way that stands out in today’s world. The grounds are a real lawn, not artificial looking,( perfectly green, no weeds), it is a pleasure to walk on such a lovely patch of yesterday where it is left to nature and the squirrels and plant that live there. The mature trees around the grounds, allow only so much sunlight. A treasure for sure, a turn off a street, down a country lane, et voila!!!
Life is to be enjoyed, appreciate the beauty of the world, and the creative works of others who have spent lifetimes giving back to the world around them. LIFE IS ART. PL Precept #1 Life is Art
