things

What is it that attracts us to something, in this case, was it the bird emerging from the tall grass, perhaps it was the grass itself, wait, could it be the unknown at the bottom of the picture, lying in wait to be discovered. who knows what it is that draws us to an area, an object, or a landscape. I have a house full of “things” that have found their way home with me. Some I just had to have, and they fit perfectly where I thought I wanted them…………………….. and then……………………they were forgotten.

Meet Chester, he is not a thing, he is a dog I met in the park. Rather taken with him, he was so like my Canaille (Porti).. I sat down and had a good chin wag with him. I enjoyed my conversation with him immensely, he nodded at the right times, acknowledged my banter… it was a fun meeting… and then we each went about our business. I did take his picture though, so i could remember my visit with him.

This geisha is in our garden, bet you can’t find her, unless you just really wander all the grounds and look under bushes and overgrown vines. You can see when she got home with me, she was given a place from where she could view and be viewed. Time moves along, our moments change, our lives keep moving forward and the “things” we so “wanted”, “enjoyed” their moments passed too. If they were left outside, nature welcomed them into its fold. If inside, they were likely soon coated in a mantle of dust and neglect. Or see, when daily chores were being done, but no longer recognized as a “treasure”

PL Precept # 16 All things progress and develop

PL Precept #18 Each Moment is a turning point

I now try harder every day, to simplify my life. I’m rediscovering treasures, and letting them go. I enjoyed and lived my “happy”, when we live in the moment, that is what life is like…. we live each moment, treasuring what we find, there is a saying, for each moment you spend being sad, you are missing a moment of “happy” that might not be it, word for word, but you get the idea,

Have a sun filled day!

Chop suey Friday, 9.2.16

a Japanese pastry shop in Japan where one can always count on a tasty treat

Wa Cofffee in Osaka, Japan (see below)

another look at the side of the building I posted yesterday…

there was a house behind it, picture will be next

as a writer I would love to interview the house

have it tell me of its previous lives

of course it can’t be done, but the writer’s imagination

hankers for a story, a peak into the past

today, I’m resting my eye,

one cataract gone, the other one in October

I slept off and on all day yesterday

up to eat and have my drops

otherwise, my mind was drifting

lazily through the fertile fields

of my endless dream states

see, disco dancing @ Pacifique

Eclair in the lead

=^_^=

asleep or awake

life is good.

have a good one dear friends

I think I should be able to get another 24 hours of pampering

Choices

It is the start of a new month. A new beginning. In PL (Perfect LIberty) on the 1st of each month we have a ceremony, we pray for World Peace and rededicate ourselves to live as peaceful human beings in our own worlds. That means anywhere we are “present”

PL Principle #21 I will live with the spirit of “Misasage” (devotion) working for the happiness of others.

PL precept #10 Love yourself and Others

When I feel one thing, and do another, then I am not being true to myself or to the person or situation I am interacting with. It is not always easy to think before we speak, and, unfortunately, once the words leave our mouths, they can’t easily be taken back.

Let us begin this month, with a prayer in our hearts that extends out to all whose lives we touch. Let us work towards acceptance and understanding when we are faced with something that is unfamiliar to us, or not in our comfort zone. In the end, we may decide that we simply will have to agree to disagree, but at least, we listened to the option. BEFORE making our decision, (choices)

PL Precept #20 Live maintaining equilibrium between mind and matter

at the end of the day,

we have to make peace

with ourSelves

Peace

begins

within

lazy mind

A lazy mind can sit and ponder, wonder and consider her options for hours on end. there is nothing wrong in daydreaming, or taking time out to unwind, de-stress, or as some of us say, just chill. However, often it is after spending hours drifting aimlessly through imaginary and often lingering moments of “fantasy”, we emerge and finding that all the “stuff” we had waiting for attention in the “immediate” world, is still there, waiting …..

Sure, we can make a list, and we can plot out just how we will get to this project and that one, what materials we will need, even “see” it in our heads. But all of this is not getting “it” done.

Maybe a walk will sweep out the cobwebs and give inspiration. Wow, it is so nice out here, such a pleasure to be out in the fresh air. hmmm yes, hear those birds, and look… look at how white and fluffy the clouds are today.

Oh my goodness, look at the time, where did it go, it must be dinner time, and I’ve not even started to get things ready. where did the time go. Must have closed my eyes after the walk, it was only going to be for a few minutes.

Hello Mr. Crow, will you help me while I start preparing for supper. I had a good day, thank you for asking, how was yours? hmmmm oh I see, you were busy with your pals clearing up left over seeds at the neighbouring farms.

Well compared to your day, I guess I didn’t get much done.. but then again, I was “busy” all day.

Can any of you relate….. to my “busy” day, shared with my “lazy mind” ??

PL Principle # 14 I will not have a mind to be lazy. I will not have complaints while working nor be overly concerned and complain about others.

PL Principle #1 I will live paying careful attention, putting Makoto (sincerity) into all I say and do.

at the locks

Big imposing, a lot to take in. What catches my attention, are all the interesting geometric details, with the fading light, I lingered here and there with my eyes, chasing shadows that were by now long and wide ready to call it a day.

Although my husband and I were both taking in the scene, our focus and attention was drawn in totally different directions. The time was spent by each of us in his own “world” at that given time. The crowd gathered at the picnic tables, were oblivious to our wanderings, and really, that is how it should be…. if you are paying attention to other activities besides the one you are “involved” in, then you are not being “present” in the moment, with the people you are meeting with.

My husband and I are aware that each has his/her own “interests”, we respect and allow that to happen, when we are back in the car and on our way, we share the “adventure” and often get a new perspective to entice and draw us back.

Like the birds, we will fly by and explore another time

PL Principle # 10 I will live in true harmony with my spouse

PL Principle # 3 I will live with a mind of appreciation towards others and things

what was

Sterling, handsome young man, caught in a suit. Would we think this was the norm… we could, he carries it so well. Confident, charming, years from now, this will be what was in 2016 on the day that picture was taken, it will not reflect anything else, but that moment in time. We are often reminded of what was back in … pick a year, any year… What we discover is, that what was back then, although still part of our “make up” is in no way where we are in the “now”

Will this young man remember the day he was off to play golf and was caught in the moment. Maybe. Life is filled with so many wonderful adventures, and we get to live each and every one. I am often asked if I remember something that happened some many years ago. My honest answer, is probably not. If the person is able to give me enough information, I might catch a glimpse of what that person is remembering, however often my memory is not the same as theirs.

People come together for a reason, strangers meet and become friends, or not.. But the encounter is one that often leaves a lasting impression, sometimes, it is felt right away, and other times not till sometime yet to come. When you live in the NOW (present) you are living in the moment, and that moment will be with you forever. Even if you are lost in thoughts of the past, what is happening to you in the present, is still happening, you simply are missing the moment, and that is too bad, why, because you can never get it back.

Like the exhilaration of fireworks, they happen, then they are gone. It is our decision whether or not we go forward, or try to hold on to the past. Whether you want it to or not, life will continue to flow in and around you. One season will roll into the next, enjoy the changes, you will blossom and with each season, your blooms will change.

Thursday Doors – @ the locks

Cute as a button, too bad it wasn’t open the day we were there. there was an event going on at the picnic area next to it, but I managed to get in a picture of the shop without bothering the small gathering.

The door was creative and festive. We will try to head back that way before the “season” comes to an end. We did notice, there some of the trees along the road side, were starting to show shades of colour.
