Your surroundings are a Reflection of YOU  PL Calendar day 9

Para pessoas preocupadas surgem fatos preocupantes  Para otimistas, fatos alegres e para os gentis, fatos agradaveis.

A person who constantly worries will always find things to worry about.  An optimistic person will attract happiness.  A kind person will always be blessed with kindness in return.

I love this picture, like, WoW, these mountain goats are climbing a near vertical wall.  I found it on a site, that just now when I went back to reference it again, the page was gone, or not available to me.  We speak of reflection, perception, to the photographer who took this picture, I say kuddos for your patience and ability to do this capture.  My musing is, in Nature, the animal does what is instinctively right, …. need to get to point X,  hmmm what is the best way, oh yes, this way, and simply goes about doing it.

The mind, I can speak for mine  will often prevent me from doing something, because I think about it too much.

 

PL Precept #1 – Life is Art

Every day, every waking moment, is a new beginning.

Spanish moss draped like a golden chandelier, some one with a creative mind and vision, got the idea, “saw it” “acted on it” et voila!

PL Precept #19 – Begin once you Perceive

If you are wondering how many Precepts we have in PL Perfect Liberty, we have 21 Precepts.

Love is not an emotion that can come and go

if you truly love, it is forever

love is God

Road Block

dce39eeb1c4c7a6b213931cdbc41009e

Good Morning everyone…..

It happens to all of us, at some time in our lives, we come across a “road block”… as a writer, writer’s block, when I’m in a creative mood with my sculptures, and suddenly my creative moment goes on sabbatical, it is another form of “road block”    In PL we are taught to take a step back, and to look at how we have been tackling our “challenge” (task at hand).   If I walk away do something else, then come back, I am often able to “see” with a different set of eyes.  When I was painting, I’d find that there were some forms of expression that I just couldn’t agree with.  I would keep wanting to add more paint, or take some away, make adjustments, this would go on till my canvas looked like one big mess of colour. Instinctively I would know that I had “missed” the moment…. the ah ha… of the expression was gone, no matter how much I was to persist, it would not come back. It was time to acknowledge that I had not been working with my full makoto, and the result was before me.  Like it or not,  what I had achieved was putting my “mixed emotions/feelings” on the canvas, there was nothing to do but accept it and move on.  Trying to accept the abstract mess of colour was never satisfying, especially if I tried to convince myself that this is what I must have been trying to express.  What is the expression, you can fool some people some time, but you can’t fool all of the  people all the time???   And, you may try to fool yourself, the reality is, your inner self always knows what is real and what is not.

In Norman Rockwell’s print, you can see that everyone is giving their full attention to getting the “road block” to move out-of-the-way. (found on imachild.wordpress.com)  When we are faced with a difficulty,challenge, obstacle, if we step back and think about how we can creatively get around our problem… usually with patience, the obstacle will move along.
