remember the Mad Hatter
When your days start to resemble a page from the Mad Hatter’s Daytimer ( calendar/agenda) it is time to stop, take a breather and regroup. If you are content with your status quo, progress in your life will come to a standstill, and you will be running in place. Meditation/prayer on a daily basis is not just for “other people” it is for everyone. However, or in whatever way, you find your “inner peace” make time each day to touch base with the quiet in you. Life is simple, we (humans) make it complicated.
Come along with me, step inside, just for a moment, see and feel the moss how soft it is, how green the new ferns are. Wander slowly down the tracks, taking time to take a deep breath, hold it then slowly let it go. Listen to the calling of the birds in the trees, and feel the soft gentle breeze as it plays in your hair. Carefully step closer to the fog, let it wrap you in its gentle mist, feel the tension lessen in your shoulders, it is so nice and peaceful here…. please come again to share another moment of letting go.
I love and bless you all. May you find your way today still wrapped in the embrace of Nature’s caring “Way” Peace be yours always…. Oyashikiri

Freitag, Friday morning greetings!
A smile can brighten someone’s day, it can change a mood, it can say what words can’t say, especially when it come from the heart. In life , there are days when it isn’t always easy to find someone who is smiling. Oh yes, there is the smile of recognition when you first greet, but it soon turns to talk that removes the smile that had started when you first greeted. Often the smile is automatic, not one that is really felt from the heart up on through the to the eyes. The eyes broadcast a lot if you care to look.
Yesterday I was visiting with a friend who is a DJ. She works in a virtual world, the world of Second Life, her shows can be an hour sometimes two. In a virtual world, you are looking and and interacting with an avatar. Each avatar is worked by an actual person sitting at a keyboard, just like you are. In my friend Sugaree’s room/studio, she is not just enjoying the sound of the music, she is greeting newcomers, and playing tunes, much like a radio DJ used to in the “good ole days”. She is working, for an hour or two, however long she is contracted for, she entertains the audience who has come to enjoy her “craft”. Music being played to entertain and please. Most of the audience is dancing and listening to her venue. The feedback she gets is that we speak, either in voice or text. So smiles are not somethings she can see, we have to let her know that we are enjoying what she is doing.
In the real world, we pass people every day, that we don’t speak to, we stand beside people in close spaces (elevators) and we don’t speak, we could smile.. seldom do we do that either. So.. really we could be in a virtual world, we ignore those around us in general unless we have reason to speak to them, or they are known to us. In the virtual world, we actually speak to one another so that we can interact and find out where (what country) the person is from, and to determine common interests, if any. Interesting isn’t it. Liken it to the “olde days) when we were all encouraged in school to find and write to friends overseas, in other countries or in a different part of the country you lived in. It was fun and educational to find a pen pal. I still maintain contact with people I’ve met only via the post, true now, if we can we do e-mails. Still.. we shared smiles and giggles with letters long before the internet. Now …. we go virtual.
A smile is golden. Satus knows that the little critter makes people smile. He was busy but he brought the little fellow out to work his magic, Smile I did, it was automatic, but it felt real good, I sat with a silly grin on my face and watched while the little fellow went through different programmed animations. That was considerate of Satus. a young man I barely know except through business, he owns a company in SL. Sugaree who I have never met in person, shared her time and her music to bring a smile into the lives of others.. Knowing her makes me smile. She is a special person, I hope our friendship grows, we share conversation, and laughs when we get together and she is not working. Friendships are important,and smiling is also just as important. Where-ever you are, what ever you are doing, use the smile muscle often, It is good for your health!

Top of the morning !
Druid Forest, Ireland.. What an enchanting photograph. Today being St. Patrick’s day, I’m sure there will be a lot of wearing of the green today. I know that my experience has been, Irish or not, many people celebrate the day, and share in the ancient traditions. Did you know that the ascending series of green- white- red- formed the favourite symbols of the Egyptians and the Celtic druids, Dante who knew his traditional symbology, had Beatrice appear dressed in green,white and red, which expressed, hope, faith and charity. Did you know that green is a colour of antithetical tendencies…. it is the colour of life, (growth) and the colour of death.. Similarly green takes the middle place in the every day scale of colours. LOL I’m sure that today you will soon loose count of all the different shades of green you see, not to mention the many creative ways green will be shown, or adorned.
Oshieoya-sama (head minister of the Church of PL, Perfect Liberty) wrote an article (May 12, 1984) which was reproduced for us and distributed in the Perfect Liberty newsletter volume 7, issue 1, March 2014, in which he talks about the similarity and the differences in PL and other religions. He talks of how the objectives of religions are all similar , in that they all strive for World Peace, then goes on to talk about how each religion has its own unique way of sharing this with their members. One of the most important things taught in PL is to put the teachings into practice, on a daily and regular basis. For a copy of this article (it is short one page),i n the States, contact Rev. Takashi Goto goto@perfectliberty.ca In Canada Rev.Eugene Hayashi ethayashi@perfectliberty.ca for other countries, either of these ministers will give you contact information.
These cliffs in Ireland bring tourists from far and wide. When I saw them I thought of how majestic and beautiful they were, how nature over time had carved out each and every crevice in her own way as only she can do.. each section is a story all of its own, yet together they present the viewer with a formidable challenge, could they be climbed? I know myself, I would want to study all the nooks and crannies to discover the secrets that they would hold. while I gazed at the shear beauty of the cliffs, I wondered if the photographer had taken close up shots of any of the different rock compositions, and plant varieties……. Guess I’ll never know =^_^= another puzzle, that brings a smile.. Mysteries are so much a part of life when one has a curious active mind…

Reverence
Actions and reactions in the physical arena set energy into motion, forming experiences, revealing in the process lessons that the we are given to learn in life. When we do something that creates discord in another person, we, ourselves, will feel the discord. On the other hand, if our actions create harmony and empowerment in another, the reflection will be one that gives back mutual awareness. This awareness helps us learn to be more creatively responsible in our actions. Behaviour and values are often shaped by perceptions that lack reverence. Reverence, or to revere, is to respect and or have a deep admiration for…….
It struck me while watching the news the other day that I saw no sign anywhere of reverence in what I was hearing and seeing. What wasn’t negative and fraught with anger and discord, was entertainment of sorts or meaningless gossip and inane prattle. Our behavior and values are so much shaped by perceptions that lack reverence that we (I believe) no longer know what it is like to be reverent. When we take issue, and put down the competition, or strive to dis-empower another person, or country, we have removed reverence from our thought process. It is one word with a huge impact on how we act,feel and progress through life. Reverence ……….. what does it mean to you……. is it part of your life…your thought process?
Colorado by Mike Berenson
Reverence is an attitude of honouring life.
Happy Monday everyone! – where ever you are, what ever the day holds for you, Nature is all around you, always and forever…….Blessings …. Oyashikiri

February, a new year, Chinese yr of the Snake
Happy New Year -. another year has passed, and life keeps getting better
In China in olden days, prior to the arrival of a new year, the custom was to sweep away the past, make sure the house was cleaned, and that you were ready to receive all that the new year would bring. (spiritually and intellectually)
In Second Life I found a sim that was preparing for Chinese New Year celebrations. The vendors hadn’t set up yet, I basically had the place to myself. There is something very peaceful about being able to wander a virtual town, experience the artistry of the builders who put it together.
Life is busy right now, I have agreed to do an art show of my work(s) during April and May. This means going through my records, books and photographs to see what I would like to showcase, and determine how best I can talk about the many artistic expressions I’ve had in the last say decade.
I have no idea how to show my sculptures in 3D format in SL (Second Life) and anything that I would have to learn to do so, would take time. Yet, there is no anxiety, just a sense of “Wow, what fun I’ll have putting a show together” this will be my first in SL. It means show my work to total strangers, without faces, I will have to bring the RL into the virtual world, and then go with the flow.
It is one thing to build in SL and display what I have been learning and doing there, virtual creativity is not what I’ve manipulated with my bare hands, and shaped or expressed from my inner self. Or is it? All that I do comes from me, myself and I…. I loved this picture that I took of myself on New Year’s eve. There is something about it, that has captured my “mood” I’m happy, and I wish for each and everyone who read this to know, that I want you to be happy too. In PL (Perfect Liberty) we say, “life is art” and for me.. happiness is being creative. Blessings. Q
