Feelings

feelings 1

 

Bonjour! Hey, how you doing today?  So happy to share this moment with you.

Feelings what a topic to meditate on. What a range , what a gamut of feelings to explore. smiles and send you love…..  Feelings are unique to each and everyone of us.  The depth, the breadth of our emotions belong to us. We need to learn to own them.  So easy to say, so hard sometimes to do.  AND, dear friend not only do we have to own our own feelings, we have to accept differences and respect the feelings of others.  We all have different ways of thinking and feeling.

Proverbs of Solomon  25 : 11  A word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver.

Sayings of the wise  24 : 26  an honest answer is like a kiss on the lips

China, Fuqing TempleWhen I was  younger, this place or one like it was  in my dreams, this is where I wanted to study and be, (China, Fuqing temple). I never got there physically, but today I found this photograph and my feelings of yesterday, came rushing back.  Value your ability to feel, feelings are part of who you are.  Own them, allow them to flourish and grow, even feelings that hurt or are painful, bring a lesson and their own rewards.  Trust and believe in the blessings of the Universe.  May you feel the love that surrounds you, today and always.   Amen.  Oyashikiri

We are blessed with a magnitude of possibilities.  There really are no problems in life, see them as opportunities.  Enrich your day and those around you  by being a mirror of light, joy and sunshine.  S M I L E.

lunes – Good morning everyone!!!

21991b3fd2120cb830e4954adb4acfe9Are you ready for the start of another week?    My wonderful friend Mollie ( co-minister at the Baptist church in a community near here), has been  happily posting in a shared file we have .. I’ve been so “busy” researching and “working” away at my desk, that I see she is being busy, I get a notice that she has posted, but I don’t often get to see what she has been adding.     Hmmm sound familiar.  Reminds me of the expression, about being so close to the trees, that often we don’t see the forest itself.  Or .. is it the other way around, we are so far in the forest we  no longer see the forest,or is it the trees.  OH my, maybe I’m not  fully awake yet……. smiles. …. Thanks Mollie for the above saying, with the cute picture.

Today’s PL lesson is about being making time to express our true selves.  To express ourselves with honesty and integrity  If we ask for help, we do so with sincerity in both words and actions.  The #1 Principle in PL is – I will live paying careful attention, putting Makoto (sincerity) into all I say and do.

kindness

 

Trust that you will receive all you need to get through today, then believe it will be the same for tomorrow.  Focus on your feelings, express them honestly, there is an inner joy when we express ourselves with makoto (sincerity)  The surest way to be blessed is to appreciate all the blessings  in our lives, and to give thanks for them.  Appreciate life, renew your connection with God/Tao every day, share your smile with others today.  Your day will be blessed.    … Smile…..    Oyashikiri

vrijdag nu… Good morning!

amishWhen we have been in upper NY State, we often will see a lone Amish buggy making its way down the side of the highway towards its destination.  Cars are whizzing by, driver and horse are not oblivious to the automobiles, their noise and fumes, they simply just keep heading to where they are going appearing to be in their own space and time.  I never can pass without  thinking of how in many ways it would be nice to be sitting along side the driver on a dirt road with nothing but natural woodlands  and meadows on either side.  Instead of concrete,, the horses were making their way over well trod earth.  Day dreaming and reality.  What a pair. We need a daily dose of both.

Life is a balance of negatives and positives, often we find ourselves experiencing the emotions of life on one side of the coin or the other. When you turn the coin on its side, you can see that the side is slim and though you see the rim of the coin, you cannot see both side of the coin at the same time. When I found the following quote this morning, I knew it was  to be shared.  Is love and being in love different?  Are they  different states of BEING?

e90031fba300ed47db3f5204118a9000Look for the beauty around us, appreciate the good qualities  in others. We all have our moments of “ops did I really do/say that”  The ongoing challenge is to see happiness and positives in our daily lives.  We have to begin with being honest with our inner self… loving who we are, and where we are in life.  We are alive.. this is vrijdag, Friday… we have another day to be creative.. Life is ART. And best of all.. YOU are LOVED LOVED LOVED, we are ALL ONE in this glorious UNIVERSE… reach out and touch someone today… let your smile shine!

But…… When you suddenly have an Ahhh moment, when your gut feeling is so loud you can’t ignore it,( it is always a surprise that so many of us do just that).  We push the thought, or emotion back into the safe area of our ‘brain”.  Trying hard to wish it away.  If we have lived long enough to build walls around our “hearts” we go into protective mode.

6acda2b35799 Butchart Gardens, VancouverThis picture I use as an example ….. the moment can be beautiful,  fresh and alive, but we see only the stairs that we will have to climb to truly enjoy the moment/view.  Past memories float to the frontal section of our brain.  We flounder, we hesitate, and lose our way.  The lessons that happen in life, usually keep recurring, there is a reason for that. Each time the Universe puts the challenge on our path, we make  wrong choices.  If the challenge appears, it is because there is still something to be learned.  We still have yet to really learn the lesson.

Our lives our shaped by the way we express  ourselves each and everyday.  If we go through life not paying attention, living half heartedly, ignoring our intuition, we cloud our vision with illusions.  We are missing opportunities to live to our fullest potential.  It is important to find one’s own happiness, but it is also wrong to live selfishly so only you are happy.  Looking beyond our “selves” towards our friend/partner’s happiness, builds a stronger and healthier relationship.  It is a very difficult lesson.  One we need to master to achieve world peace.

…. God, help me choose the path that is right for me… Help me understand there is no wrong or right.  Help me learn to  detach with love . I will surrender to the good of the moment, and get through the discomfort. One step at a time.  I will practice acceptance, and believe and trust the magic that acceptance will bring into my life.    Oyashikiri

Where will your path take you?  Wherever your footsteps lead, be someone who can share Joy with others.  Strive to truly understand the feelings of others.  Let go of your ego and express yourself fully.

Daily Devotion..   With a prayerful mind, once you  begin, you cannot stop, there is no room for laziness.    Put your heart into everything you do.    It doesn’t matter if you are “getting anything out of it”.   Whether there is a response is secondary.     It is sincere heartfelt devotion that is rewarding.     It brings transformation.    True worship is a daily act.  Meditate and Pray with a “humble” mind.    Blessings – Oyashikiri

How do you see the world

Valentine 2.3.14_007

Do you wake up and view the world around you in a positive light?    Are you a half full, or half empty (glass) person?  Or do you tend to see the world through a cloud, or haze that never seems to go away?

Valentine 2.3.14_008

There is beauty in all times of the day or night, and if you are in a mood to find it, there is also gloom and loneliness even doom.  When we give ourselves to God (higher power/TAO) we are blessed with a divine inner strength that helps ground us and travel with us through the many challenges we face in life.  Before we can even begin to find happiness with someone else, or in the world, we have to begin with liking ourSELVES.  To take responsibility for who we are and what we do.

Acts of respect and courtesy are reflections of how much we value others.  We have all heard the expression, “no man is an island” its been around for years, and it has stayed around, because over and over it is a lesson we need to be reminded of.

All meaning in life is arbitrary.  It is not tied to god, family or self unless we define it as such.  Nothing in life gives us meaning in and of itself.  It is we who assign meaning to objects and relationships.

That said, Wake up World!  It is Tuesday, have a happy happy day!   Blessings.. Oyashikiri

Does the shoe fit?

A  shoe can be a work of art -beautiful to look at – but impossible to wear

Love is a word often spoken,     said,      but certainly not shared

Lets try today to not necessarily say the word,     but to show someone we care.

Actions do speak louder than words.   If you can express yourself in words, do that too..

The “art” of Love is a full time, 24/7 passion

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