Time – space

sin aferrarse al pasado, comience de ahora en adelante

The past is the past, whether it be failures or successes. It is what you do from today, the present, that counts.

Start each day with a fresh out look

Yesterday a friend and I took a long drive, we left the house shortly after nine and didn’t return till about 12 hours later. We did nothing that could be called exciting, we simply did what we felt like doing, ate when we were hungry and enjoyed time together. We took back country roads, letting the countryside roll past us like beautiful wall paper scenery. We were not in front of our computers, we were actually seeing the landscapes for ourselves. The day was sunny, the skies were blue, a tad on the chilly side if we were in the shade too long, and walking around a corner, or into the wind was =^_^= let’s say, refreshing.

Even towards the end of the day, we were both tired, but it was a good tired. We were able to end the day each in our own homes, with a contentment that took us into the evening, with a positive glow to our energy.

Del sentimiento de gratitud nace la felicidad

When we truly appreciate, we will find Happiness

My prayer today is that each and every one of you, has a happy and rewarding day.

without crying – nem chorar

“Have compassion for all beings, rich and poor alike, each has their suffering. Some suffer too much, others too little.”

Gautama Buddha

Always

live with hope

in your heart

Your soul will be enlightened

when you learn

not to complain

without suffering

without fear

without crying.

do not be attached

but do not walk away

life is for living

each joy

each emotion

is a sign

that you are alive

trust in the moment

a new memory

is being born.

Sem reclamar – not complaining

~ the message of sadness~

like a garden overgrown with flowers

an abundance of color

an ambiance fragrant and clean

even on days when I am weary

and my heart heavy

and I know not what each moment is made of

I feel

I look

but I don’t see

deep down I am accepting

that this is simply

another day

and

when tomorrow comes

I will once more

tend the flowers

and make my way

towards the open door

and beckoning sky

not complaining

accepting

that not every day

no matter how I pray

will I find

peace

on this given day

one day, one step at a time

I move towards

the unknown

sublime.

ralentissez!

Today I saw a transformation that until I witnessed it, I had only heard about. In the PL church, not so much in North America but in Japan, and Brazil, during service, members of the congregation will stand and testify of the changes, positive and affirmative that Pl has made in their lives. I myself have felt and been blessed with knowing the wonder, contentment, joy and rewards of having a profound experience. Today I saw it.

A friend was in a very anxious state, and asked if she could come to our church and pray. She is not a member, nor had ever expressed any interest, I was surprised but pleased that she felt that coming to the church would help her to cope with her current “problems” I called ahead to know if a minister would be available, and yes there would be.

This friend is a strong woman of faith, she attends her church on a regular basis, and makes every effort to do a pilgrimage yearly to the bigger cities and the shrines there. I had not seen her in a number of weeks and was taken a back when I saw her, she had aged, and seemed totally defeated and sad. Life had been throwing her “a lot of curve balls.”

We get busy in life, and I immediately felt a pang of guilt that I had not kept in touch, but life is what it is, and there simply had not been the “right” moment. Our church as I have mentioned is non-denominational, I knew my friend to be a very staunch catholic and I wondered what had brought her to this moment, where she wanted to pray in “my” church. If you are aware of the inside of a catholic church and the inside of a Japanese, zen type room, this would have been a totally “new” experience for her.

She walked in with what appeared to be the burdens of the world on her shoulders.. When she came out of her consultation with Rev. Tiago, she literally glided out into the area where I was sitting. Her face was radiant, and as she threw her arms wide, she said,”I feel a hundred pounds lighter”. She glowed. Her face, her posture, her voice, it was amazing.

The 21st is Thanksgiving in PL (Perfect Liberty), I will give thanks for having been a part of this wonderful day, I myself had to slow down, I had to go into waiting mode… while she was with Rev. T. and I really really enjoyed it. I was present in the now, and simply B E I N G.

a sincere request

In the quiet of my heart, I ask

that I be blessed with the ability

to disagree without being disagreeable

share my convictions

without being contentious

to lift up truth

without putting

others down.

In this quiet moment of prayer

I ask for help with unresolved

perplexities that weigh on me

I trust in the Universe to guide my thinking

unravel my difficulties

and empower my decisions.

I am ready for this day

I plan to live it with

freedom and joy

Grant me the wisdom to know

When my time on earth is done

help me enjoy life as it unfolds

to live to the fullest each hour and second of the day

if life has its own holding pattern

that requires patience

Help me trust in the way of the Universe

by your grace and with your guidance

I will live with makoto (sincerity)

in your comforting embrace.

into the mist

So tired, I found a place to lay my head

slowly I felt the tension ease away

the world was quiet, yes there were sounds

but somehow, I knew that they were not part of me

I was safe in my space, this warm welcoming embrace

I am set adrift

like the quiet days at the cottage

when I could paddle on the lake while the mist still danced

along the water and the soft sounds of nature

filled my head with joys of solitude

when I was ONE with nature

and my heart, body and soul

found peace

on warm summer days I made my way

through the trees, to the cottage on the cliff

the sun would shine through the trees,

the rough path to get there

always familiar to my feet

I’d climbed it since my youth

now, love and faith

draws me home

ahead there is a light

I know my loved ones wait for me there

its been a good life

can you hear me God

I’m coming home

like a seed

like a fertile seed

I blew in one day

and found a place to lie

I remember sunny days

and others, where I only wanted to hide

days bleak and overcast

pounding pellets of rain forced me underground

with time I accepted the darkness

it felt nurturing

I felt protected

as time went by I noticed that on sunny days

I began to sprout and reach towards the warmth

even the rain became my friend

after a long period of drought

I sighed with ecstacy when the crystal drops

bathed and fed me

I had been lost, alone in the world

my days and nights were spent alone

yet even through times of darkness

I never lost faith, I waited

knowing when it was time, I would know why,

why, I had the capacity to know my thoughts

to feel the various ” states of being “

I experienced with the unfolding of my life’s story

while at times I may look dormant

there are other times I am alive with colour

my thorns can be a challenge,

but I really am worth knowing

I am a seed in this Universe of ours

that thrives with your unconditional love

I took root, I believed and I blossomed

now, I accept the various seasons

you gave me life to experience

and every year, I grow stronger

knowing that always you are the sun and rain

you are my all

no more, no less

my dream of peace

On the first of every month

the church has a ceremony for peace

yet my heart yearns for peace

with each beat of my heart

Like the mist on a cold winter day

I whisper softly the sentiment I feel, into the words I pray

and hope that some day

every day, will be a day of peace.

out of the winter mist

the light of love will glow

and as it draws nearer

we will all be bathed in a wordless understanding

that will deliver us from the fears

and insecurities that bind us to a world

that is man made, and not

Nature’s WAY

Peace lives in my heart

Peace is God’s gift to all of us

Peace is love without borders, boundaries or definition

Love is how we bring peace into our lives

Unconditional love

make it part of each and every moment of our lives

Let us pray together

and nurture this wish for

Universal Oneness

…

lazy >< motivation

What if I feel like having the best darn lazy afternoon i can have. Objective, doing only what makes me feel sinfully lazy, resting in a chair, feet up, with nothing but a good book, or better still, closing my eyes and enjoying the sound of nothing in particular.

Why, must I feel that I should be motivated to do something, like wash the bathroom floor, or dust the cobwebs from the ceiling. Or, motivated to answer a phone because it is ringing. We are often compelled to respond to the “need of others” rather than to listen to our inner voice, to chill/relax and to let our own thoughts and feelings take their time to materialize.
