A stop along the way

knock, knock

I knew no one was home

so I took time to roam

explore, and enjoy the decor

will you look at this doll

she’s had her doors done up out of wood

with no Chevy in sight

I turned to the Ford

I admit it had a charm

and, it wasn’t in a barn

this is the babe

who welcomed us in

when these ladies, give with the charm

I can’t help but beam

with delight

I raise a glass to the bad ass

owners who track them down

and give them new life

PL Precept #7 Everything exists in relativity

each picture, shows a piece of art, someone made time, to reconstruct, or build

these gems for us to enjoy.

on my part, appreciation, and gratitude is sent out to them for their time and efforts

just reliving my visit brought back a big smile.

There are times when I feel simply overwhelmed by the creativity of others. Thus was the case here, my husband is used to my hollering “stop the car, stop the car” and having to pull over turn around and bring me back to the “whatever” that brought on this outburst. I was totally taken by this building, it was once an antique car lot. The detail, the whimsical character of the architecture. I would have loved to have met the previous owner.

See the tie man!! I loved, loved, loved it. I toured around the building, as much as I could without being an intruder.

The second floor balconies made me itch with curiosity. Wanting a ladder or access to the inside to I could get closer.. I’ll post a shot from the road, so you can see what I first saw.

Like HELLO.. how could I just drive by and not get a closer look. It was on getting closer that I saw all the details, and the charming way the owner had put character into the building.

This is what life is. Think about it. How often do you meet someone, or see someone and think, how interesting, I wonder?? But, we never follow through, we never take that chance .. we are polite, and go about our business. I was blessed that in growing up, I was encouraged to meet and greet the world in a positive light.

Not only in old abandoned buildings and lost,left behind vehicles do I see beauty and wonder. I see it in my fellow-man.

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

There will be more pictures of this house, (Norm’s “Thursday Doors” ) but before I sign off, please let me show you the car that was left behind. It was being textured by Mother Nature, she was looking “some” good…=^_^=

Beauty if in the eye of the beholder, isn’t it ….

For those of you who love “rust detailing” and the different patina that Mother Nature can bestow on metal

this car is showing a lot of promise

so it was, past & present

So it was, there before me, in its majestic glory, the ocean. It was later in the day than we expected to arrive, but here we were. Other cars were parked along the road, people with their camera poised for that perfect picture. For me, it was the moment itself that was perfect. Taking in a deep breath, the rest of the world around me disappeared. In a second one can live and relive a lifetime. No matter how often such moments occur in my life, I am always amazed that such serenity and peace can wash over me, filling me with a gratitude and appreciation that no words can fully express, the blessing is to live that moment to the fullest.

The camera can capture the landscape, and perhaps a “mood”… but that moment of connection to the “Universe” is very personal and unique to each person who was there on that highway, we all experienced our own individual “blessing”

Some of us travel on the water, some of us are grounded on land, but no matter where we are in life, when we experience that intimate connection with the Divine force of Nature, we are captivated, enthralled and in that moment, we are ONE totally engaged in the transcending power of LOVE.

Wordless Wednesday – Byward Market

I would like to say I resisted bringing home some fresh corn………………. however……………….. I cannot tell a lie ……………………….. the caramel corn was too juicy and plump to resist.

FYI. I will be taking a vacation, for a week plus. heading for the ocean. I look forward to seeing you all when I return. The vast expanse of ocean, and the sound of the waves making their way to the shoreline is calling… I know you all understand.

Meanwhile, enjoy your days, take in the night

dream of delights

carry love in your hearts

for you will be in mine

love always.

Thursday doors – “doors”

Sharon Springs,NY

I don’t know whether to thank Norm or not. I have alway had a “love” for doors. From early years I collected pictures of doors, admired doors and bla bla bla…. but with his little challenge, it has put “focus” on doors again, in a sense that I see a door and wonder.. hmmm will do this for the challenge..

My husband and I for some odd reason, have taken to a game on Facebook called Cafeland. It is a cute game, we have a restaurant and we make food, sell to customers and of course, build the business and you make money, and if you keep at it, your money of course builds. I began playing the game years ago, when I first began in FB, I soon tired of it, being too busy with commitments etc. in my day to day, and my friends had basically moved on to other games.

What I didn’t know my husband who does not play games, except Scrabble and Word with Friends, who had started a restaurant to help me while I was playing, liked seeing the $$ add up, so he just over the years kept playing, Long and the short of it is, thar when a new friend learned about Cafeland, she started to play and I reopened my cafe so that I could help her with the challenges. WELL Hubby was now way ahead of me in not only points but in $$$. He’d built up a fortune.

I began to play regularly again, to try to catch up, but with years under his belt, he is just too far ahead in points and he has managed his money so that, I think there is just too much there to work through. So being the considerate wife, I offered to remodel his cafe ….evil grin…. knowing his wife, kind husband says sure, and leaves me to it on his computer and with his accumulated fortune. hehehehehehehe.. pulls my witches hat further down on my head.

I redid all the floors, walls, put in new windows, decor, and still he has millions and millions left over. I even put in new DOORS.. two of them. Here you go Norm… it is while I’m looking at the doors, what to put in, that I get this little “ping” I start wondering if I can use the doors in Cafeland, in Norm’s Thursday doors. Norm!! what have you started.

Enjoy every day, make every day worthwhile

harmony within ourselves

A student once said to me, “you tell me that happiness begins with me, intellectually I agree, but the reality is I don’t know how to begin”. It is easy to talk about the Precepts and Principles of PL,( Perfect Liberty), they are all so “simple” when stated, but they are not as easily followed as one would imagine, When someone says relax, we just can’t flick a switch and our bodies will relax.

Like the shadows on the fence the “art” of the moment, is there and if we pause in our day, we will see it, return in another half hour, that moment and play of shadows will no longer be there,.

Think on the number of times, your friend, mate,spouse, child, asks you for something, and you have replied with “just a second,” “wait, I’m busy” or I can’t right now, maybe later. We all do it, it is so easy to simply excuse ourselves from the moment because we are busy, mentally in another space.

Sometimes, the moment passes, and there is no repercussion, it simply gets lost. Other times, it could have been a life changing moment. We will never know, we let it pass, we made a choice, and come what may, we had a part in that “moment” in time.

When we make time in our lives for prayer, we are making time for GOD/TAO/Nature/Divine within ourselves. To understand and learn more about ourselves, we have to spend time with our “selves” In PL (Perfect Liberty) we are always available to “listen” and to help YOU sort out the complicated challenges that come your way. It really happens to everyone, not just you, you are never alone, although at times, it might feel that you are.

PL Precept # 1 – Life is Art

Art doesn’t just happen, everyday we live is an expression of our creativity. Our TRUST and FAITH in GOD is what will see us through troubled times.

in 2013 the #6 lesson was – A change of Heart can turn the Tide – No matter what the situation you can’t change others. The only thing you have control over is how you accept things, and deal with them.

PL Precept # 19

Each moment is a turning point

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!
