spring

Spring flowers appearing bringing a burst of colour to otherwise gray skies. The “boys” in the woodlands, showing off for me… I wanted to show you the beautiful heart the male has on his head. It really shows up during mating season. They had their breakfast and were leaving… I caught them going over the fence and called out…” stop.. want to grab a picture.”. the darlings obliged by staying still long enough for me to grab the picture. Aren’t they handsome!

Forest maintenance .. the brush gets too high, scrub trees grow, interfere with hydro lines… this is the time of year that crews come along and clear..

I asked why ….this time of year, …reply.. so that the brush is cleared away before birds come along and build nests. It does open up the area along the side of the road…. for sure it changes the whole look… I will be interested in seeing how it will fill in once the foliage begins to grow.

Meanwhile, I get to gather odds and ends of wood left behind by the crew.. not sure why some wood is taken and some is left behind. Finding odd pieces, I can let them dry, then sculpt them. Just have to find where my carving knives are, they were put a way in a safe place… meaning.. I put them away and can’t find them.

If you face a situation head on, a path will open up.

No matter how hard the situation is, face it head on. If you approach it seriously, you will be able to find a way to break through. PL2014.26

Have a great day everyone!

Till soon.

waiting

I didn’t see her at first… she stood so still…

Once I caught the glimpse of her waiting patiently, I couldn’t “not” see her

My first intention was to just grab a picture … then I thought I’d clean it up, take away the tree she stood behind. In the spring when the tree begins to leaf out, she will be hidden from view again. I might still do that, meanwhile, I wanted to share her… She obviously has been there for some time. I wonder at the stories she could tell.

Awww … someday… I’ll stop and …. Another mystery to unravel when time and inclination strike again…

Today Monday the 30th. there is one day left in the year 2024. Are you ready for a new year, another 365 days of adventures, new opportunities, new friends…

Use your results to make the next time even better

Whether “things” turn out perfectly or not, the important thing is to take what you’ve learned and apply it the next time.

NB* the Chinese new year (lunar calendar) this year will be January 29 2025, ending Feb. 16.2026 – it will bring with it, wisdom, agility and strategic foresight. If you know your sign already, this year it will be the wood snake. The wood snake year may bring some challenges in career and finances, stay positive and flexible to overcome setbacks.. Focus and health, avoid negativity and you will handle the year with confidence and success.

Sunday

Put Makoto (sincerity) into even the smallest of things. Everything is an accumulation of small things, If you do each and every thing with care, a path will open up. (PL2017.25)

PL Principle # 1 I will live paying careful attention, putting Makoto into all I say and do,

Wednesday

my attempt at wood burning… on the left is a sculpture in mixed media (garden elf) done for the outside,

Face each moment, each place with a fresh outlook. If you handle a situation with preconceived notions or prejudices, your judgement will be clouded. Take on each situation with a blank slate, as if seeing it for the first time.

The elf lasted almost 20 years outdoors in the elements, the wood burning barn, I have no idea where it is now. Life is…

What is “Normal” is different for each individual. Everyone has a different way of thinking and doing. It is important to understand others’ feelings.

Value those who are nearest to you. It is especially easy to overlook how wonderful your spouse or other family members really are. Always remember to respect and value one another.

PS. the sculpture using driftwood and apoxie sculpt is one of my earlier pieces.

beyond and back

the invisible ride

Riding free into the Universe, a fantasy so near, yet so far. The horse so elegant, graceful and unerring in its dance as it races across the lands, passing the many landscapes, gaining speed, till its hooves travel on air into the stratosphere.

I have driven by this sculpture many times. I’ve seen it, but never stopped to really gaze and wonder at its beauty. Why in life do we hurry to and fro, missing so much along the way. How is it that we are blind to the beauty that sits waiting for us to realize, “ITs Presence.

Today,. I saw, today I explored, and now, I know, the creativity and love that went into forging and working the metal into the majestic piece of art that now, I will never forget.

The shortcut to progress is to listen with a humble mind. If you are stuck in your own ways, you will eventually become bogged down. let’s remember to be humble, learning what we can from the knowledge, advice and suggestion of others.

consideration

yin/yang life

Good morning everyone, let me begin by apologizing, I got many e-mails yesterday, it seems there was no link to my second post yesterday. I have since added it, and here is is for those of you who looked and couldn’t find it. https://dymoonadventures.wordpress.com/

Being considerate of others is just as important as what works for you. Always be mindful of the situation s of othersk not just your own. To have a good relationship with those around you, always think of what is important to them too

who comes

did you know there are moments that come and go… and tho’ you don’t really recall doing something the reminder of that forgotten moment is still around.

greyhound guest

there are times, when you just don’t know what happened, how a situation came to be.  but… there it is…. and you know there is nothing that you will do to change it.

You have seen this before, but here it is again, hope springs eternal, some days, the mind functions with great effectiveness, other times, there are times, a mind that is quiet .. is best.

If you’ve read this far,  I’m headed back to Japan in July, to the searing heat of a Japanese summer. Looking forward to seeing what pictures I will be able to gather, when I’m not attending a lectures,class or in prayer.
