Look beyond your immediate view
a whole new and different world
awaits you
When we make the time to
look beyond the trees
we never know just what we will see
Happy Wednesday everyone!
Thinking of you
remembering how beautiful life is
because you are in it.

ring around a rosie
a pocket full of posies
another house came down today
what was once a quiet little community
is being bombarded
with in fill
cars & trucks are lined up
all in a row
wheels off, and hoods up
like ladies of the night
waiting for someone
to come and hopefully
take what is left of the parts
after all
their hearts were
taken long ago
yes I visited one of my favourite haunts
today
no I wasn’t out to play
I had to detour and found myself
in a place
that even in the broiling heat
gives me pause
to simply
BE
Namaste – Oyashikiri
barred
closed
no tresspassing
that is what the sign says
looking at the doors
I want in
sometimes in life
the words
and the visual
just don’t “jive”
PL Principle # 3 I will live with a mind of appreciation towards others and things
These doors – say “Happy”
Maybe someday they will once more open in

That’s right, Xmas, snow, jingle bells, and all that glitters, that is my world the last few days as I start to prepare for the making of holiday cards for seniors and shut ins . My sister is a long time contributor to various charities and organizations, this year she was able to get my attention, for the cause, and I accepted. Yes, it is not till later in the year, but as all of you who are card artists and crafters will know, to be done, with access to supplies etc. we start now.
With shops busy with current events, such as weddings, graduations, vacations, winter is far away, and many have their Xmas/winter embellishments and card/paper stock on sale.
In some ways it is easier for me to be creative about a season that is on its way, in months to come, because I get to work in a sun filled studio with the temperature a nice seasonal 60 – 70 something degrees.
With no pressure to get something done, now….. because someone else needs it to do their part. ie. know what inventory they have so they can know how best to serve their clients. I can create and play just “chilling”
The picture of the “tree” was taken a few years back when my other sister was up from California, and we toured a “green” area not far from where we were at t he time.
These are the other hikers we met along the trail.
This is a beautiful time of the year, so much is happening in the woodlands and gardens that are waking after a long winter’s sleep. We are so fortunate for our abundance. Today’s lesson on the calendar #23 is Applaud the Makoto of others (Makoto=sincerity) When you encounter good faith or kindness in others, make sure that you acknowledge it fully.
Brinde aplausos al Makoto de las personas. Cuando recibe cordialidad y amabilidad de los otros, admirelos sin escatimar.

PL Principle #1 I will live paying careful attention, putting Makoto into all I say and do
Life is good
Happy, sunshine and joyful day to you all

broken pieces of a whole
once full and promising

Native Renaissance ll
Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory, Deseronto, Ontario
Spent a wonderful time exploring the inside of this shop. Original sculptures, collectibles, jewelry along with music from award winning Thomas B. Maracle. We were passing through and I didn’t get the time I needed to see everything I wanted to see. I Understand there is also a recording studio there that I would have liked to explore, and obviously to hear music that has been produced there. http://www.nativerenaissance.com/
What I did find there, was this wonderful painting that had been done, used for advertising (guessing) and then left to linger in the elements, I so wanted to rescue it.. but left it for someone else to enjoy and discover. Instead I took a picture.
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. I looked and saw “beauty”… someone else may see nothing at all, but the little otter, swimming along with his friends, the giant turtle and the pesky beaver (?) , left me wanting to know more about their journey, and the man who painted them.
A journey without an ending? We will never know. If you travel that way, say hello.

PL Precept # 2 To live is to express one’s self
PL calendar lesson 21 – accept everything with appreciation
at the end of the day,
and that day will come
our bodies will return to the earth
we will be free
but often the results of our actions in life
will have had an effect, or changed the course
of another’s life
it is important to remember that each action,
will have, or bring about,
a responding action
sometimes positive, sometimes not.

such happy colors
so delicious and welcoming
reminiscent of visits to
places by the ocean
sad to see they were for sale
empty, vacant
waiting for someone to notice

Yes, today is Tuesday, and we are once again, taking to the roads,
off to somewhere, where we have not been in a while,
and some places, we’ve never been at all.
No, we won’t be gone long
just long enough to change the channel in our minds
we don’t really plan, we determine a direction
and a few of the stops we’d like to make
along the way
if it should work out that we
find such a place along the way
not just on the 17 of May
but really, any day, should be one of exploration
or discoveries
for honestly, we really do get to explore our boundaries
each and every day
if you always go right
perhaps see what happens when you turn left
it could be as simple as crossing a street
Till soon then,
we will be back by end of day
I’m off to play
Have a great and happy day!
