remembering

Ancestors Day is celebrated in the church of PL (Perfect Liberty on the 11th of every month).. During and through out this ceremony we express our gratitude for the love and virtues of our ancestors,

An ancestor is someone who you are thankful was in your life, and helped form the person you are today. They had impact and brought positive, loving “gifts” into your life. Many people can bring awareness into our lives, usually we take for granted those who love us, we are so embraced by their love that we don’t realize till they are gone that there is a void.

Love comes in many guises, I speak not of the physical intercourse/ fornication of man, but of a mating that begins in the heart, that is given life by mutual respect and enduring love. Genuine caring. To find and share in such a partnership there has to be dialogue/communication that is heartfelt and stems from mutual desires and a respect for self. Love begins within. . .Love is trust/ faith

Give and forget

Receive and remember…

now, today 8.5.15

PL# 18 – Each Moment is a Turning Point..

We walk past a door (opportunity)…. or we seize the moment.

PL # 15. All is a mirror

When we are calm we reflect that quiet serenity

I love this picture, like, WoW, these mountain goats are climbing a near vertical wall. I found it on a site, that just now when I went back to reference it again, the page was gone, or not available to me. We speak of reflection, perception, to the photographer who took this picture, I say kuddos for your patience and ability to do this capture. My musing is, in Nature, the animal does what is instinctively right, …. need to get to point X, hmmm what is the best way, oh yes, this way, and simply goes about doing it.

The mind, I can speak for mine will often prevent me from doing something, because I think about it too much.

PL Precept #1 – Life is Art

Every day, every waking moment, is a new beginning.

Spanish moss draped like a golden chandelier, some one with a creative mind and vision, got the idea, “saw it” “acted on it” et voila!

PL Precept #19 – Begin once you Perceive

If you are wondering how many Precepts we have in PL Perfect Liberty, we have 21 Precepts.

PL Precept #21 – Live in Perfect Liberty

By following the Precepts, we grow each day in all ways, to live our lives in a peaceful and meaningful way, helping others to know love, happiness, and caring friendships, creating an ambiance that will bring us to world peace.

Namaste – Oyashikiri

Love is not an emotion that can come and go

if you truly love, it is forever

love is God

you / me

timing

Being in the right place at the right time, having your camera at the ready, and the lighting just what is needed to capture a moment in time.

When I saw this photo, taken by John Westrock, posted on Flickr, I thought, “what a good capture? and moved away, but something drew me back to look more closely. I must have contemplated on this picture for some time… I saw how the graffiti in the background sat like a halo over his head.

I wondered if the two shoes on his feet matched. Some how, I felt that this man was having a peaceful morning smoke and was contemplating life in his own way. I decided he was content just basking in his solitude.

Of course this is totally a fabrication of my own. I wasn’t there, I don’t know the man and have no idea just how long ago this was taken, or where it was taken.

What I do know is that the artist/photographer had a talent and a good eye to see what he did and click that shutter when he did. I thought I’d visit his page to see what else he had posted. Hellooooo.. not what I expected at all.

Timing, patience,total focus on the moment, these are the ingredients of a good capture, a moment caught in time, some are worthy saving, some are not. Some moments will change you forever…

So it is in our daily lives, I began my thoughts this morning with the 1st photo, that I now know was taken sometime in 2013, research and dedicated time to search precious moments, a luxury, no I don’t think so. I believe we owe it to ourselves to make each moment count, in a way that allows us at the end of the day to say, “thank you God” I had a wonderful day.

When we live practicing the Precepts and Principles of PL (Perfect Liberty) we grow to know that no matter what the day brings our way, we can deal with it, we can embrace the moment and learn just what it is about ourselves that caused that moment to take place.

In PL, there is a Precept, #7, Everything exists in Relativity – Precept # 11 is – Always be with God, two of my favourite meditations.

Timing

when we find ourselves truly embraced

and caught up in the moment

we often will find that we have come face to face

with an unspoken fear

and in that very moment

the fear is no longer buried by layers of the past

for you have recognized it, at last.

awesome capture

I seem alone

but I am not

in finding you

I lost you

but

never

will I forget you

for like it must be

we are ONE

in the Universe

you sun

I moon

– Whether we are happy or not depends on our own perspective. Life is neither good or bad, it is how we perceive the moment, that will determine whether the outcome is a good or an unfortunate one. -Live a life in Perfect Liberty, and every day will be a brand new canvas….

PL Precept #1 Life is Art

PL Precept # 15 – All is a mirror

How we perceive and live our lives, is of our own making

we learn to take responsibility for our actions

The actions of our children often reflect one’s they observed

while growing up at home

When we are living our lives and moving through the maze of distractions,

wonders, and pitfalls, sometimes it is only in hindsight that we realize

the fall out or repercussions of our interaction with others.

whether we mean to or not, something we do, say, or not do or say

can be hurtful and cause sadness in another.

Wisdom comes from living life

not from reading about it

An artist that can bare his/her soul

using visual or auditory expression

is usually someone

who has lived and learned through mistakes and hardship

when we do something and it doesn’t work out

it is not a failure, it is a success story

the hard part was stepping outside

the comfort zone

expanding your horizons

allowing the depth of your Being

to experience all of what

Nature/God has provided

life is a banquet of choices

a seed was planted

& you were born

to live a life of art

It was/is said

That in the sky, the heavens above, there is no east/west, north/south, it is the human need for words and direction, that these distinctions were made. Then over time, the mind believed it to be true… Because it was said, does not make it so.

Buddha “You will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished by Your anger.

PL Principle # 5 I will not get angry at anyone or anything.

In PL (Perfect Liberty), PL Precept #4 Being Annoyed Limits your Expression,

PL Precept #5 is One’s Self Is Lost by Being Emotional.

lost

This is an Inca rope bridge (Qeswachaka) above the Apurimac river in Peru. Rope bridges were simple suspension bridges over canyons and gorges (Pongos) that provided access for the Inca Empire. traffic was limited to pedestrians and livestock and were an integral part of the Inca road system …

This bridge is known as the most dangerous bridge in the world. The Hussaini Hanging bridge is only one of many precarious rope bridges in Northern Pakistan. These rickety cable and plank bridges are long and poorly maintained. Planks go missing, and strong winds shake the bridge as you cross it.

OK 1 more. This is how one scales Putucusi, (Peru) it is a hike that brings you up adjacent to Machu Picchu, it is said to be about 5 stories high. One hiker hiked for 4 days over the top of the Andes on the Inca trail to get to this ladder.

PL lesson, Everything that happens to us, is material for Growth.

I lost my cell phone today. Won’t bore you with the details, suffice to say after searching and searching some more, it has not turned up. There are a few more steps to be taken tomorrow, but the long and short of it is that I simply will likely find myself with out a phone. (cell) Didn’t use it much, will I miss it, it will be inconvenient at times. However…interestingly I am not really concerned. whatever happens it will be for the best. I believe that.

Would I cross the bridges I’ve shown you in this blog. If I needed to get to the other side,and that was my option, yes I would. Would you?

Peru – me and you?

missing – 1 gym bag

PL Principle # 6 I will not be stubborn, being captured by my own thoughts.

For weeks even months I have talked of getting back to the gym. Always there was a reason why I just couldn’t get there. Now with the sun shining into my office, and a day facing me with my feeling blah and ho hum, I thought, I’ll go to the gym after my morning meditations etc. The Virgo/goat that I am, I wanted to organize. Couldn’t find my gym bag, I looked and just couldn’t find it. Husband to the rescue, he came and looked with me, wandered down the hall and came back, “its in your office, you can’t miss it”

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

“How did it get in there, that isn’t where I usually keep it?” said I with a bit of the morning

surliness. Wise husband, quietly says he doesn’t know and returns to his morning activities.

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

I come into my office and there it is sitting in the corner waiting to be found again.

PL Principle # 2 I will not have complaints about others, matters, nor the weather. Rather I will always be creative and will look for shortcomings in my own thinking and actions.

Are you someone who goes to a gym…. have you ever considered working out with a punching bag. The jabbing, kicking and punching gives an immensely powerful take no prisoners feeling, and it also helps with weight loss, co-ordination and strengthening. Great for sharpening reflexes too. Find someone to show you the how to’s though before you jump in.

PL Precept 19. Begin once you Perceive.

Have a great day, thanks for sharing this moment with me… you’ve helped me get going today… thank you, thank you, thank you!

PL Precept # 21. Live in Perfect Liberty…..

Namaste – Oyashikiri

# NB – In the Pl Church we live by 21 Precepts and 21 Principles.

are we learning

How we adapt and adjust to the changes around us says a lot about how we manage/cope in life. This Panda was not deterred by a bit of snow.

These roses were spotted by a photographer (@Reuters/Cathal McNaughton) pushing through the snow after a storm in a city cemetery in Londonderry, Northern Ireland, 1.14.15

With the snow came promises of a toboggan ride, it was a great adventure, building snow forts, snowmen, skating, in the young there is just the innocence of a new adventure. (Pitlochry, central Scotland 1.14.15) (Reuters,Russell Cheyne)

Even grown ups can have a good time, how we see and perceive the day is how we will proceed. Our perspective determines the outcome of our day/nights. These men are enjoying their fun in Pyeongchang-gun,South Korea (Getty Images)

This of course is would could be in store if we are not focused and being aware of the road we are traveling during or after a winter storm has descended on us. (Reuters,cathal McNaughton, Ireland)

This is all that could be seen of buildings and cars during a heavy smog day from an observatory tower in Beijing, I’d heard of the smog there, but not seen just how heavy and dense it is.

Is this how we want to live our lives, do we want to wear face masks when we step outside our doors. This is how people in Beijing have to protect their lungs during polluted days in their city.

This beautiful picture was taken in Tuscaloosa, Alabama after winter weather plunged the area into a deep freeze and broke records Jan.8.2015. note the clear blue skies, and how the light makes the ice and snow look picture pretty. (Michelle Lepianka Carter/Tuscaloosa News/AP Photo)

Hand, la main,mowng

We often take for granted the body that we use on a daily basis. We learned to walk as children, and to use our hands as we needed. An example I often use, is I drive I get into a car, start it, then with the training and experience of years of driving I get on my way. I don’t think about how the car is driving or what mechanical wonders it has under its hood, I just drive. Yes yes, I do make sure it is serviced and that it gets the proper attention it should, but I myself don’t get under the hood.

Hands are however another matter. With the passing of time I have learned to live with minor bouts of arthritis, I’ve watched as my middle finger on one hand developed its own slant and curve, and I’ve accepted it.. what else could I do. Then a few months back I noticed that there was a tingling, and a funny sensation in my fingers that sometimes worked its way up my arm. Had to take notice of that didn’t I. I use my hands daily for a number of things, one big task they perform is that I use a keyboard for hours on end.

http://http://www.webmd.com/osteoarthritis/oa-treatment-options-12/slideshow-hand-finger-exercises

When the discomfort began to really be a bother, I began to speak of the malaise. Wonder out loud if you will if it was connected to my being diabetic. When it began to act up enough that I was getting really concerned, I made an appointment with the doctor. After some discussion the leaning is that it is more than likely carpal tunnel … this I’ve had before and dealt with it… (no surgery)…. it was many years ago, I’d forgotten…. and yes…I had also slipped up on the exercises and stretching of the fingers and wrist joints.

PL Principle #15…. I will not do anything overly.

This is a perfect example, where I have been happily going along typing away every day for hours on end and not making time to do exercises, and to rest my hands. It is like driving the car and expecting it to continue functioning at top-notch speeds and efficiency, while I neglect to have it tuned up and keep it gassed up etc. (clinicalposters.com)

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

I got lazy, I didn’t tend to my needs, I got arrogant believing that I could just “keep trucking”, but the “Universe” stepped in and let my body speak … and it did, loud and clear. I have a greater appreciation for the work my hands do for me… and I will at making amends.

PL Precept # 15 .. All is a mirror

PL Precept #20 Live maintaining equilibrium between mind and matter.
