Taming of the shrew

Shrew? me?……. yes you!

oh my I had not thought of myself as a shrew…

hmmm what to do…

oh, the dictionary says I’m a cute mammal

with a long pointed snout

and tiny eyes…. kinda cute….

oooooh, you don’t mean that shrew!

oh oh, a shrew is also a bad-tempered, aggressively assertive woman

really, this is what you think of me

oh my goodness….. your reality is your perspective isn’t it???

so somewhere in my personality I must demonstrate such traits

what to do, what to do

if I care for you , which I do

I must assume some responsibility

for how I am perceived…

yes… I must, I must…

small in this world I may be

but the power of love

is huge, it will help me to

make the changes in my life that I need to

so the cute shrew I’ll be

by setting the negative in me free.

sew…sow…so

Meet Tabitha, a sewing machine (1886-1890) a work of art. The exquisite details, I wonder what it was like to work with. It looks like it must have been very heavy.

This model is a Victorian Weir Pedestal Treadle machine, operated with your feet, it would have allowed for movement of the material with two hands. Not that sewing isn’t a labour of love now, of course it is, but the modern-day machines make sewing a little less tedious than it might have been in days gone by.

So much has changed, lifestyle, clothing,technology…. change is the only constant in life.… AND…. the constant blessings of living in a world where the “Universe/GOD” is “supreme”.

Let us pray that we can come together

openly with the same goal in mind

Peace on earth & goodwill to all

Sow the seed of fellowship in all you do

Be genuine in your actions, let love surround you..

like the seamstress or tailor

that sews with positive intentions

you can be a conduit that brings calm and serenity

to those around you.

Voices

in dreams the impossible seems out of reach we climb, stretch and jump towards our goal yet we are tethered to the ground our feet seem cemented in the past how long will this journey last “who knows and who cares” says a voice inside my head ” I do, I do,” says a quiet calmer voice from somewhere within ” oh” says the mind, “ YOU are still here” ” of course” the quieter voice replies,” I’m always here look down at your feet, they moved at the sound of my voice” The choice is to know that we are always moving forward, in time, once the moment is lived, we can never relive it, know this and move on. Let go, trying to hold on, only holds you back. When we trust and believe that we are here to progress and live our lives to the fullest, we are on the right track.

Blessings all, travel safe in your journeys today.

the passing

a message to a friend

I heard about your loss today

for a moment I felt such a sadness

she had been your friend such a long time

now her spirit had been taken away

then, on reflection I realized the kindness

of it all, her pain and suffering had been released

she was at peace

a gentle caring soul, her spirit will always

be felt, by family and friends who got to know and experience

her genuine warmth and laughter

for her, the life long journey here is behind her

she left with such grace, to the very end

she walked the path she believed in

she was an inspiration

I for one, celebrate her passing

she is free and where she wants to be.

Creative start to a new day

Dispelling the darkness of night

a new day begins with the shining,warming sunlight

Take a step forward today, reach for that special prize

Throughout the ages, with every new sunrise

prayers are said, meditations are practiced

the body exercised, a new page turned

The spirit grows stronger with each passing day

live with full makato*, take in all that there is to learn

Today is a brand new day!

What a beautiful day

“I came upon a sacred view along my way;

While walking through the woods one day, Such calm & beauty gave me pause

when it appeared like a dream;

While I beheld this enchanted woodland scene,

With the steady flow of water softly falling & emitting very little sound;

As it caressed the small rocks & fertile ground…”

– (excerpt from A Woodland’s Charm, by Jean Dament)

Will be on holidays for a wee bit…. see you when I get back, meanwhile, peace be with you….. Q

Mosaics

White Rabbit 1-b by Doreen A Smaltigirl on Flickr.

Mosaics – how time-consuming a real work of love. Not something I would attempt. Nor do I always feel an appreciation for the craft. Seeing this piece on a rabbit running, looking at his time piece, reminded me of the Alice in Wonderland story and the Mad Hatter. To achieve this delightful piece of art, the artist had to first visualize what he/she wanted to achieve. The many hours (days,nights, even weeks) would have been spent putting it all together.

So it is for many of the projects we begin in life that are part of our own “make over”. There isn’t a day goes by where someone I know isn’t doing something or preparing something for … when??? If I do this now I’ll have time to do XYZ later. Its called planning ahead. Me, I no longer maintain that activity in my “top drawer” I don’t really know when this “habit” changed, somewhere along the way, unconsciously it went down to a “when I get to it” drawer.

This is another craft that requires attention to detail, planning and patience. I look at this and my mind is in awe of the time and the focus that this artist had to have had to complete this piece. My kudos to both creators of the works shown in this blog today. My hat is off to both of you.

My creative level today leans towards scrambled eggs. I kid you not…

I was late, I was late

for a very important date

you were not forgotten !

it was only a question of when

finally, the moment came

happily my enthusiasm hadn’t waned

I may get behind

but YOU dear God, are always

ever present in my mind

amen

Welcome Thursday, goedendag

A hermit slept, deep within a cave

so deep was her slumber she slept a decade

when finally she awoke

the moss was thick and the waters ran clear

in the cave she felt protected, she was calm

but blue skies beckoned and birds called

soon,she felt the longing for the sun on her face

and to once more know the joy of all the seasons

winter, spring, summer and fall

with trusting heart she responded to the call

for she knew, and believed, this need, came to her for a reason

Sometimes when we listen to our inner voice……it comes from the heart…… In stepping outside her comfort zone …..she found a new world of sights and sounds..that offered new choices. It is easy to hide, and stay where we feel safe…. but … without new challenges to expand our horizons, there is no “out” or “escape” from our self-imposed mental cage.

Life is to be lived. Value your Intuition, if you feel stifled, if current situations in life no longer stimulate and excite your passions, take heed, notice what you are feeling. Happiness is a state of mind that only you can give yourself.

Spiritual maturity requires diligence and Makoto (sincerity)

and, so it was

the rain, the mist

filled my world with thoughts of you

slowly I drift

marveling all the while

at how out of the blue

I rediscoverd the joy of spending time with you

walking in the rain

is not insane

this wonderful world is full of gifts

treasures you share every day

this is your domain

in my heart you remain

my UNIVERSE, my ONE, my ALL

and, so it was

and is

my prayer to you today

Amen

Fire and ice

Like a moth to a flame I was drawn

at first the call … was a simple spark

then the fire spread…

my gaze held captive… by dancing flames

I was lost… lost in the embrace of

of an unearthly man made calm

A blazing fire turns to ice as seen in this photograph (CBSlocal.com) – Firefighters battling a massive fire, during frigid temperatures. (Chicago 1.23.13)
