Buenos dias,me encanta esto

Good morning everyone!!!! I love it here…. I love Canada and the four seasons, it is a photographer/writer’s dream. Something new everyday, today the buds are breaking through the bark, little heads are peaking through. Excitement is in the air.

I don’t think there would have been room for a go-cart in the parking lot at the golf course I passed yesterday. The driving range was the same. Of course, now is also the time that everyone wants to throw open the doors, and get at the spring cleaning,

The enthusiasm is there, maybe not the same glee, but the passion and desire to get at it, and have it done is there. This desire to be out in the sunshine and spring showers seems to be everywhere,

There is no great mystery about life, it simply is an every changing world, that like the nature that we are part of, we all have seasons of our own. Learning to embrace change and to allow our creativity to flow (adapting to changes and challenges), is one of the best skills we can have and hone.

Say YES today, be happy whatever you set your mind to doing. No matter the weather, it doesnt’ matter if it rains or shines, whether you are happy or not … is determined by YOUR state of mind.

You own the day.

Pass it around..

a leap of faith

There is such beauty and grace

when a horse and rider

take flight and together

mount the challenge

and conquer the moment

the moment didn’t just happen

the rider and the horse

trained and trained

both were ready for the challenge

they both faced

and when the time came

they flew as one

that moment shared

that bond, that connection

once forged

is like the nature that surrounds us

it will flow and ebb

but it will never end

faith,

when one believes

new experiences

always open up

begin each day with faith

that all your experiences in life

will carry you through

whatever comes your way

happy happy

Good afternoon everyone. I had a wonderful time this past Sunday exploring the back roads from the city towards Sharbot Lake, it was a bright day, a bit of a chill in the air, but otherwise great. Too soon after a cold snowy spell, for there to be a lot of day trippers out. One of my finds, was this tree stump…. the colours, the recent cuts l seemed to dazzle with the afternoon sun.

These delights were found on a vacant lot of a house that is up for sale. 100 acres on a quiet country road (at an intersection) The house had seen much better days, nothing of interest to me, it was the location.. What was sad to see was that the yard around the house was a catch-all for debris and clutter. I had been drawn to the stumps because of the rich tones of the inner core. What ever happened to their tops, was not evident. So I assume, that the rest of the tree will serve a good purpose.

My husband was drawn to the old television satellite dishes. Some places tease me, and I want to hear their story. Others, well, they just don’t hold my attention. On this property it was the tree stumps.. they were my gemstones amongst the rubble. AND the QUIET. Further down the road ( a paved road, however it was well posted, that it was not a road that was maintained year round) we found this spot..

You likely had to have been there .. it was such a peaceful site. What we found was what was left of a building, that must have been part of the church that had been in this location. The lumber I didn’t think dated back to the 40’s but perhaps a makeshift building of sorts had been there and when that went, the community got together and put up the piece you see below. (1987)

How different life must have been life back when the church as in full attendance. 1893… the land in the surrounding areas you can tell had once been farmed. The further we drove down this road, with the quiet around us, and the beckoning open fields, the more the happy glow of discovery surrounded me.

Life is ever-changing, what remains a constant in life is the natural world we live in. It grows, flourishes, dies, and is reborn. The landscapes change, but the wonder of it all remains. GOD is living, GOD is life, GOD is Everything. and YES, GOD is LOVE

history, today

I’ve always been drawn to this building. The many times I have driven by, I want to stop and explore, yesterday was my chance, the season hasn’t started yet, so the parking lot was free of cars, and I had plenty of time to wander. The day was overcast, but to me, it made the whole place more attractive and compelling.

The Orleans Fruit Farm has an important link to the history in Ottawa of the francophone community. It was purchased in 1917 by the Oblates of Mary Immaculate the founders of one of the big Universities here (University of Ottawa) When it was purchased, they renamed it Ferme Saint-Joseph.

The root cellar was built in 1937 using stones recovered from the dairy barn that had been destroyed by fire. In the 1940’s the cultivated 325 Acres of land to provide food for their community, namely the U of O, Seminaire Saint Paul, l’ecole secondaire Saint jospeh and the Juniorat Sacre Coeur, in 1942 they had 90 Holstein dairy cows, 400 pigs and over 1000 chickens and by 1945 they had 750 productive fruit trees.

It is now owned by the National Capital Commission (NCC) it was purchased in 1968 and is now part of the National Capital Greenbelt. It is an operating farm, rented by a couple who have focused their business on apple production .. but also produce other fruits and veggies. It is an agriculture site that is well worth a visit. Once the season starts up where produce is available.. or plants from their greenhouses, the parking lot is full, and continues that way till the retail season ends,

With produces and meats that are always being examined and questioned, re. chemicals, hormones,fertilizers, pesticides used etc. a farm like this is even more attractive to those of us who watch what we eat, where it comes from is important, were animals free to roam, grass-fed??/???? A fresh carrot that is not perfect to look at, is just as good and nutritious as one that has been sized and shaped to perfection. Apples without layers of wax…

History does a place in the present, when it can teach us, or remind us of what is really important in life, and essential.

going nowhere

Sometimes, we dream of far away places,

Sometimes these events do take place,

Other times, what was, was

and the time comes when

our dreams are shelved.

live with hope in your heart

remember the journeys

the past is what your present is built on

live each moment to the fullest

FREE

Creativity begins with an idea, then someone sets out to put the design to paper, from there, they “play” at making it work, how many times, and what number of templates were done before they got the finished product they wanted. We see the final product, and go… WOW…. Our lives are constantly being blessed because someone came up with an idea, and by themselves or with collaboration, they developed the idea into a product, idea, or service.

Please visit the blog site Next to Nicx web site for details on how to do this, and more

In PL (Perfect Liberty) the first Precept. PL Precept #1 Life is Art, is really the foundation of the philosophy we teach and practice. Begin today and everyday, with a brand new canvas, it will make your daily choices so much more interesting.

This is a YouTube clip that will keep you inspired

There was a time when we would say “everything worthwhile in life is FREE” By this we meant, LOVE, Happiness, Sharing, Giving,Caring, a Hug, and so on. Time spent with a friend was such a blessing and a special time… It was being with that person, and giving a personal, hand-made gift meant time thinking of your friend, while you made up or wrote them a letter or a note card. There was personal interaction, and exchanges.

Life does get busy, but that special connection, a personal word or visit, goes a long way in making for a stronger bond, or sense of awareness in the other person’s world. When we reach out and share with a friend, even a stranger, we are rewarded 100 fold.

Yes, I love a beautiful object, and I admire the work, the skill of the crafts person who did it. I appreciate its beauty, and sometimes I even want to acquire that object. But the greatest gift of all for me is the sincerity, and genuine love that shines in my life. Life is LOVE. Love abounds all around us. BE ONE with GOD, share your love, reach out and bring light and joy to someone today!

lost in time (a morning prayer)

another day goes by

and still I wait

under the clear blue skies

I watch one cloud slowly make its way

to another cumulus cloud

as they merge into one another

my thoughts return to another time

when I was young

in my prime

life was different then

so many fun encounters

young and old

spent time with me

now each new day brings

the trees reach out to give me shade

and the long tall grass

whispers to me softly

as they lean into me

I don’t see as well

with the passing years

my eyes have clouded over

but I know you are always

with me God

that makes every moment

worthwhile

I sit and enjoy

my fading years

another stranger will pass by

and capture me in lens

for whatever state I’m in

the glory of my life with you

will shine through

for

I am one with you

choices

Every day we are faced with choices. Some are small, and routine, done on a regular basis, like when we shop for food. What we are looking for will determine where we go to shop.

What appeals to one shopper will be passed by, by another. I have waited while a customer before me, goes over every bag, weighing it, turning it so that he/she is able to see all produce in the bag.

Even once we’ve picked out the product we will take home with us, no two people will cook that one product in the same way. That is why there is such a great variety of restaurants as well. Though they may offer the same basic dishes, how they are cooked and served, could be oceans apart. When it comes to food, almost everyone I know, is willing to try something different and will dig in and enjoy a cuisine from a different culture. Diversity is a welcome change.

Why then, do we draw a line, or seem to be so black or white, when it comes to choices we make about our social environment? Or cultural divides? A very close someone in my life, will eat carrots, but when they came out with “designer” carrots, (different colours) he balked, why…. cuz they didn’t look the same, blind folded, they would taste the same, but……. Another friend told me her husband wouldn’t eat the new blue potatoes, why… cuz they didn’t look like a potato……………………………………………?????????????

A child is innocent, loving, trusting, … they make us all smile with their smiles, and their genuine responses to being loved. What and why do we change as we advance in years. What changes us. WE are shaped by the choices we make in life. Choose wisely. Put your full makoto (sincerity) in all you say and do.

Q&A Thursday

Petrified wood, in the Arizona Petrified Forest National park (Wood Gallery) this picture shows them sewn into logs, yet supposedly man was not around? (USA)

Such wisdom has been around for a very long time, why do we have so much trouble really practicing it in our daily lives?

Minions, what??? what is it about them that cracks me up, I even went to the big “arches” (McDonalds) when they were the “goodie” of the day.

Angels Landing trail, Zion National Park, Utah.

Some people love a cruise, personally this is still on my bucket list. Yuppers, I’d prefer to do it solo with no one else around, but… it looks like this is a trail that is well-known and I am not alone in wanting to experience it. Who discovered this trail and marked it for us? What a “high” that had to have been.

This awesome capture was in Zion National Park, It was taken by photographer Long Nguyen, posted in 500px. When I come across some of the amazing work of the photographers (artists) that search out their passions and capture them to share with us, I am so grateful to them for their skill at translating their experience into a visual format that I can enjoy and share in.

OK.. I want to visit here. Does anyone know where this was taken, the photographer was Petr Marek, the picture was posted on Fivehundredpx, the trail brought me to his pictures but aside from the title, Stairway to Heaven, there was no other info.??? anyway?? and yes, another for my bucket list. could take me a while though, and I wouldn’t run up./P

Let’s meet back at the camp site.. have the fire going… yawn, its been a good start to the day… loving it. while I ponder all of this, I wish you all a grand day, I’ll send you off, to take a long walk… with a smile and a hug of course. Enjoy your day.. I’m with you all the way, Love you!

a quiet interlude

Fingal’s Cave off the coast of Scotland

Good Morning, thought I’d share a little more of yesterday’s experience. Like many others around me, I live life at a rather “active” pace. True not always, I know to take breaks, and have a slow down time, the key words here, are I know… just because I know, doesn’t mean that I do it. I was happy yesterday to disrobe and get on the waiting table in the small room I’d been assigned to. Nothing magical, just a quiet place, soothing music and the implements used for doing facials. The table was the ordinary table used in spas, and salons all over. The table had been prepared, the colours of the towels and sheets were calm, soothing colours, the terry towels were big a fluffy. Already I could feel myself relaxing, and when I slipped unto the table and felt the warmth on my back (the table was heated) I knew I had made a good choice.

Our minds are chatty little characters, often even if we want to rest and know we are tired, the little voice just keeps babbling away at times like a broken record. I closed my eyes, letting the moment surround me. I was getting a holistic facial, the herbal fragrances were intoxicating, never mind the knowing trained hands working their magic. My mind began to still, my thoughts drifted into quiet spaces that’s I’d found along the way and wanted to explore.

Melissani Cave, Greece

There is no rhyme or reason for where the thoughts will drift. The mind and body are strongly connected and tuned to one another. When the body begins to let go and release pent-up stress, the mind feeling less smothered and pressured, will also relax. Being able to find, quiet moments where the body truly let’s go of the daily ritual of “activity” is an awesome experience. It really truly is.

The promise of spring, a new season, when we see the first signs of new growth peaking through the soil…. this is rejuvenation. we see it and we love the discovery, it is pleasing, it is a new moment. Our bodies deserve the same care and attention that we give to our gardens, our hobbies, crafts, work, it is ours.

When we invest in ourselves, in having a facial, a massage, a skin and body treatment, we are looking after ourselves, the part of us that often is taken for granted until it nudges and pushes back at us.

PL Precept# 20 Live Maintaining Equilibrium between Mind and Matter

Having a quiet interlude, enjoying the moment, was a re-energizing experience. I had booked a full hour of body massage after the facial, needless to say, my mind took itself to exactly where it wanted to be…. my smile was a mile wide… total immersion in a happy reverie is good for the soul, you really should try it.
