what will I do today
I will pray
I will walk in the sunshine
feel the sun on my face
and I will pray
when I am too tired
to walk, I will sit
in the shade
and I will pray
everything I do in life
is done with a prayerful mind
thank you God for the abundance
of love and joy in my life
thank you for the bounty at my table
and the gift of friends that care
please watch over
and provide for my friends & family
it is with gratitude in my heart
that I am beginning another day

the dance
“you have to feel…”
this is an astounding statement
…You have to feel…
so often I have heard
the words, “I just want to die”
yes it is an expression
usually said when a person is at the end of their rope
they have lost hope or, I can’t take it anymore,
I’ve had enough….These moments pass, but while they are being lived,everything inside feels chaotic, jumbled and turned around. The stomach is unsettled, the mood is “dark” When I was still actively working my practice, I would ask..”when is the last time you danced?” More often than not, the answer was vague, they didn’t recall it was so long ago, or it would be a straight out, “I don’t dance” Dancing is an art form, it is a form of expression, and yes, to some it comes more easily then it does for others.
To be a professional dancer, one must have a passion for the working of the body and mind, in a continuous need,desire to perform, to be able to use your body in every conceivable way to express movement, fluid and flowing, using every muscle in your body, your mind focused so that not a miniscule of energy is anywhere else but in that moment.
Our bodies are important in the managing of our health and our well-being. Dance, in whatever form it takes in your life is a necessity in maintaining a balance between the “yin” and “”yang”, negative and positive in life. You cannot have one without the other.
Even if you just reach and stretch your arms up into the sky above
or out to touch the walls on either side of you, do it with the intent to stretch out as far as you can, then slowly release, exhaling as you do, it well be such an exhilarating feeling, your body will go “wow”..
Stretching is an easy way to begin bringing more activity into your life, it is with slow small steps that we increase our awareness of the body.
Our bodies are our very own, our personal shrine for all that is divine within us.
Practice doing a dance move every day. Don’t let it slip away, do it.
Your body will be with you till the very end. Open your eyes to the need it has to survive and carry you through till you are ready to let go.
Forever and Always. …Namaste – Oyashikiri
Time was
Time was…. when we all gathered to listen, learn and enjoy the experience of sharing new products, new techniques, new ideas. Then we would have time to process the information with an informal gathering around a light refreshment table…
Having worked in a large teaching hospital, I often got to speak in such rooms,lecture rooms, or auditorium. Talking to the assembled group, I could watch their faces, and body language, I often knew the ones who would be full of questions, and interested to know more. lt was fun, we all got to know more about the other person, and we could talk right then and there about what we had seen or heard.
Now I’m told that often if there are still such rooms in use, the audience is head down with technology that allows them to be miles away, even if they are sitting in the room with you. Often there is little dialogue between the group, rather questions are asked and answered online, Therefore others in the room do not benefit from the exchange.
Time was when we could help one another because as individuals we all see and think in our own unique way. Often, a different view point leads to a greater indepth understanding of a topic or situation… and in some cases, makes us even more comfortable and confident with our own decision, and chosen path.
Time was, and time is… always going to be changing. we exists today because of the past. Today in the PL churches across the world we are celebrating Ancestor’s Day. It is a time we have where through ceremony we express our gratitude for the love and virtues of our ancestors… Services on the 11th. are at 10 a.m.. We know people cannot always attend at that time of day.. closing your eyes for a moment and silently sharing our prayer, goes a long way in bringing a peaceful moment to your day. =^_^=

To You Who Searches
To You Who searches
by Q, 3,13,87
High on a hill you stand
feeling the majesty of the land
Nature in her rainbow mantle
smiles back peacefully
bathed in the golden warmth of day
yet, in your heart you feel a tug and rattle…
What is this overpowering feeling
that time after time draws you here…
To sit alone perched on sculptured granite
high above… and hidden well away
a single, solitary figure
overshadowed by the festive maples
mighty oaks and whispering pines…
Looking out through searching eyes
thirsting for the meaning of “Divine”
lazily a cloud drifts by
a lacy swirl of powder white
against a sky of innocent blue
look at you…
questions, questions,questions, is this all you do!
a search for the truth is a lifelong task
when you look out, instead of within…
listen to the symphony of life
feel… experience… with your total being
prayer/meditation will remove illusions
so that in this mortal world of questions and answers
you will discover and realize a simple truth…
The natural universe, in essence
is a mirror image, and the awe and wonder
simply… a true communion with self …
Tao
I had forgotten that there was a time when my work was copyright, etc., now I’m looking for the series of short stories I did at that time too. Mollie I may have some that aren’t adult reading =^_^=
In cleaning up today, looking for my lost cheque book, I had to empty out all the files in the cabinet drawer and begin the physical task of looking through each file folder. (This happens when one starts to do a clean up because the compter hard drive needed to be taken in for a check up.)
In PL we learn that when we take notice of something, an idea takes form in our noggin, its time to pay attention. LOL right now that for me means, sorting through old files.
Have a good day everyone, Hope you enjoyed my writings from another time… Hugs

bonjour, good morning! buen dia
Do you pray, is a very personal question. As individuals we are all unique and our way of expression, and faith is something that is ours and ours alone. Or is it? What is it that we are told growing up, try not to talk about politics, or religion, stay on safe ground.
When we become friends with someone, it is a process that happens over time, some people you may feel an immediate kinship towards, and others, well, let’s say, we have to warm to. Some we never connect with at all.
With the passing of time, the friends that stay in our lives are the friends that accept the changes that happen in life and with our personal evolvement. And of course vice versa. No one stays the same from day-to-day, the changes may be subtle at first, but change we do.
Happiness happens when we establish goals and work towards achieving them on a daily basis. Living in Perfect Liberty means we pray not only daily but all the time, it is a way of life. We connect with a higher power and do our best to stay connected in all we say and do. When we can do this every day with true appreciation, we will be filled with a genuine feeling of joy .. this will radiate and envelope those around us.
I believe our faith and good intentions will resonate with the friends we make along the way, some will stay a long time and others will be move on towards their own destiny and purpose. What is important is that you remain true to yourself.

sometimes
“I love talking about nothing. It is the only thing I know anything about” Oscar Wilde
and sometimes
I’d like you to just come over and visit with me
AND, then again…
sometimes….
I’ve taken flight to explore
and need time alone
I am secure and happy
knowing I am never on my own
LOVE is not sometimes, it is ALWAYS

have you seen my umbrella
Have you seen my umbrella? I asked myself not that long ago when the last time was I used an umbrella. I honestly could not recall when I has last used one, or even, where there was one in the house..
There was a time when just the sight of a cloud had me carrying an umbrella, what changed, Something has to have changed, obviously it was a subtle, and slow change, because I do not recall the exact moment where I no longer cared to have one with me, or feel the need for one.
Life is not something that happens instantly, nor are we always aware of how something came about, or why something is.If we are present in our everyday moments, then we deal with each occurence as it happens.
Once I stopped seeing rain as something to avoid, it simply because another aspect of my day. It didn’t affect whether or not I was happy or not.
For sure I appreciate the way the earth responds to rain, the grass gets greener, the trees stand taller, and if you are out in the garden after a summer rain shower, you often get to enjoy the wonderful fragrances of the flowers and vegetation like you never do at any other time.
At church today when the formal part of the service was being performed, I found myself drifting off into a relaxed state, the tension in my shoulders eased, and my eyes closed in prayer. The peace and power of prayer is so powerful that during that space in time, I was transported to another dimension.
Love filled my thoughts, my mind, my being was permeated with a divine sense of total Oneness with the moment.
Love = God = Prayer

captured in time
Timing when taking a picture is everything – the photographer catches that moment in time, It is an artistic moment.
The light, the shadows, the focus and the intent, will be forever on display
there isn’t always someone
ready with a camera or lenses
to capture that moment for us
no matter
if we were part of that moment, the feelings, the emotion of that moment, live within in us forever
if we were the subject(s) our perception of that moment, will not be the same as the photographer’s
Yet it was together, that the moment was captured. There could not have been that moment without the collaboration or sharing of that space and time
Today I bow my head in prayer
that my day will be one of happiness and sharing
love/GOD is within me, in sharing
even if simply with a smile
that smile will spread for miles
for GOD is everywhere
and each moment lived
will be a blessing to be shared
in love and peace with all mankind.

Vida es Arte – Life is Art
The air, fresh and clear holds promise
the moment is as soft as the morning dew
one moment spent truly with you
one single moment of feeling you in my heart
a connection so pure, so strong
nothing, nothing at all feels wrong
when you, dear God are with me
Out of nowhere, when I least expect it
I will see a flower and know the wonder
of all that you are
I pray today,that I will never miss your call
for I know that it is easy to fall
When I get lost and too involved
yet always, you are here,
winter,spring, summer and fall.
