Wordless Wednesday -proof
Some people …. don’t care..
they are totally unaware
yet wonder why
the world is less than perfect
and are the first to cry
and criticize
the work of others.
Just saying….

PL Precept # 1 Life is Art

Yes she knew he was not real, of course he was made out of pewter, and the blue gemstones were not the best… or so she was told… then why did she feel that he watched her every move. She wanted ChenMay to be there, but ChenMay was not with her, ChenMay was in another part of the grounds.
She hadn’t seen him at first, and now she didn’t know what had made her look down. As soon as the sunlight had gleamed on his eyes, she had known to stop. She searched her mind to try to recall what ChenMay had told her about the dragon. The dragon was part of the Wizardology classes that ChenMay gave each fall to new Apprentices.
She looked closer, and saw the defined scales all over his body, he was majestic.
“Oh there you are” ChenMay’s voice drifted towards them, as she approached where they were standing. “You’ve met ” she smiled as she bent to pick up the dragon.
Leonie would say later, that one minute the dragon was on the ground, and the next he was gone. ChenMay bent down, and when she stood, the dragon was gone. ” I saw him” she would exclaim, “he really was there, his scales shone in the sunlight. ”
ChenMay would only say, “dragon’s play, dragon’s fly away” then chuckle and turn away.
oh dear, oh dear,
what a silly tale
a dragon who can be seen
then simply
disappear
can this be true
what need I do
to have the dragon
appear to me



are girls being girls,
or is there a story
to be told..
PL Precept # 20 Live Maintaining Equilibrium between Mind and Matter
There is a world of wonder all around us!

How wild does their garden grow
wow I don’t know said Mr Crow
For years now I come to explore
each passing year brings new colour in the rows
see the roses are in full bloom right now
& cherries are forming on the trees
come back in a week or two
the Saskatoon berries will be a feast
bring friends, this garden is here for us
nice meeting you Mr Crow,
my name is Jay
in a flash of blue he was off
cawing as he flew
I’ll be back to see you soon
Rosco chuckled as he flew higher up the tree
life is good when
friends drop in showing appreciation and enjoy their visit
he liked being called Mr. Crow
Mr. indeed, and he chuckled some more
could he be getting old
in full voice, he cawed and called out
Happy Sunday everyone!
PL Principle # 3 I will live with a mind of appreciation towards others and things

With the goings on in the world today, I’m never sure what will greet me when I first listen to the news after a lovely night of sleep.
I first wrote this little poem back in the fall of 2007, I made a few changes, to share it with you now…. have fun, let your imagination flow.
How eerie the night
when everyone looks for a fright
carved pumpkin heads
leer with evil delight
their eyes bleary and red
their lopsided grin
sends a chill from within
children cheer with delight
when ghosts go bump in the night
So tuck yourself in
don’t let the news of the day,
scare your good sense away.
Once upon a time, October came once a year
Now it seems, every day is one the speaks of fear.
Really, let’s think on this, do we want to live this way
I pray each day, that our friendships
will flow and grow
till each and every one of us
in reaching out, will overtake
the negativity spread by “others”
and put pumpkins back on the table
in tasty pies that we will gladly share
with everyone, for they will be filled with
thanksgiving, love. friendship and appreciation,
stock ingredients of our every day.
Blessings.

Hello, bonjour!
can you feel the charm
and gracious facade
this entrance way. exudes
no pretensions here
just a warm welcome
encouraging one to stop awhile
Canadian charm
veranda, door, and entrance way
hopefully brings a smile your way
It’s Thursday!
we visit with Norm 2.0 today
Happy Happy day everyone!
do egg rolls count as calories
only if you admit to having one
what if they are baked
and not fried
really .. would it still be an egg roll
OK, I will go back out to the garden
pretend we never had
this conversation
you decide
I say
no egg roll,
no calorie
but then, what do I know…
so YOU know
they are homemade
a calorie, will never hide
there is no lying
the real you
will always know
whether you admit to it
or not
Q
bake for 30 minutes

off in the distance
silence beckons
if by chance
you are nearby
your spirit hears the call
and no matter
where you are
no matter the day or night
you are blessed
with a vision that goes
beyond
into eternity

Have a wonderful day! Oyashikiri

Why?
I tried, I wanted to
I even brought my pens with me, I planned it all, the lined pages,
pristine white, blank pages,
for days I even practiced the different styles of lettering
anticipation high, time to doodle and write.
Yet when I got to where we were going,
Not once, did I use the pens to practice my lettering
The pads of blank pages, came home empty.
Why?
It is the journey, the living each day that is important, obviously, while away my time was filled with happy moments, new discoveries, a sense of adventure and of course, the cherished company of a wonderful husband and our two frisky “canine children”

Under the sea
are colourful bumble bees
how can that be
in art, the mind is free
to express all that it can “see”
PL Precept #1 Life is Art
All in life is possible,
when we believe
and trust in “God” to live in peace
World Peace is Everything!
