Expressions

This is a vintage print that appeared in a mailing I received, I wish I could credit the artist, but I can’t. Art is very subjective, what appeals to me, may not be your cup of tea. For me the moment I saw this print, I was mesmerized. The colours, the position of the model, the bird cage, the total image evoked a sense of longing in me. Certainly not in a negative way, just a feeling, a passion that set me to wanting to create prose, or write a poem. I’m sure that at one time or another, such moments have happened to you. What do we do with these inspirations, these “ah Ha” light bulb moments.. do we act on them, or does the moment pass and we move on.

PL Precept # 3 – God appears through one’s self……..

In PL (Perfect Liberty) we believe that the Universe is always guiding and directing us, It is we who fail to listen or hear…when something happens out of the blue, or suddenly we find ourselves faced with a challenge we are not prepared for. In Pl we see that as an act or happening created by the Universe to get our attention. We are taught to take stock, pay attention, open our minds to possibilities, to focus and seek resolution.

PL Precept # 7 – Everything exists in Relativity….

When I saw the above print, it started a thought process, that began with the emotions I felt when I saw the print, and then the various stages of evolution the initial thought produced in my mind’s data base. More than 12 hours later I still wanted to share the print with you. Perhaps it will inspire a thought process in you?

For me… it had me looking for a gaudy ring full of bling……. go figure……..hey…………….. what is… is, I share with you all of me, imperfections included.!

The PL 21 Precepts reveal the true path of life for all humankind. Beginning with Precept #1, Life is Art…. as the foundation. There are 20 more precepts that stem from it and are closely interrelated with one another. Each Precept is written in simple and clear language, but the truth revealed in their words applies Universally to ALL….

Thank you to all of you who read and follow me on my journey. You are my inspiration.

Feelings -Thanksgiving

What comes to mind when you think of Thanksgiving……….

A meal shared with friends and family………..

Is it the joy you take in gathering supplies to make colorful decorations that will please the the eye and delight the senses? Small gifts for friends, or just to brighten your home.

As the color titillates our awakening senses, we are open to new adventures Where ever we are when the leaves start to change, we feel it in the air. Our appreciation of life is aroused and we find ourselves more open to changes, in fact, our creative juices start to bubble with ideas that want expression.

This picture evokes the desire to explore, to walk down this sun filled path, to smell the autumn leaves as they progress through their cycle of change. You know that the photographer who took this picture, felt the sun and heard the birds and wildlife that surround her/him. They managed to capture the moment beautifully. If you listen closely you’ll hear the rustle of the leaves as a gentle breeze makes its way through the spectrum of fall colored foliage.

Life is to be enjoyed, Thanksgiving is a time to express and give thanks for the bounty we receive in life, In Perfect Liberty, (PL) we give thanks each month for the many blessings in our lives. We do so on the 21 st . of each month.

Faith grows not only through intellectual understanding but also through actively participating in life, the PL WAY.

overcoming obstacles

An obstacle in life can come at us in many shapes, sizes and ways, it is how we deal with them that either stabilizes are stress levels or drives them around a bend.

A natural disaster, well…. there really isn’t much to be done, but find another way to reach our goal or destination. We grow in life by experiencing and creatively dealing with the situations that come our way. If we see the challenge as an opportunity we are more apt to enjoy the day no matter how we proceed.

May you be granted wisdom for your decisions,

hope for discouraging experiences,

your energy replenished during your tired times,

and renewed vision during down moments.

Always and Forever

Dentro das regras, viva livremente

Express yourself freely, within the rules.

There are many ways to express ourselves, workout, find ways to keep in shape, not only in body but in spirit. It was when I joined a gym that I got to really work with a punching bag. Until that time I had only tried cardio kick boxing, where you bounce and jab into the air etc. Then one day I found myself alone in the lower gym where the boxing classes were held. No one was around so I tentatively put on a pair of gloves and walked over to the punching bag. I could only mimic what I had seen others doing, I made sure no one was around to see me (so conscious was I on looking foolish) before I took a punch at the bag. It was a soft punch, but it felt good. I liked the feeling of skipping back and forth and taking aim, then landing a punch. I maybe played around with it for 2, 3 minutes, it was invigorating. In those few minutes I had bumped up my heart rate and felt that I should come back and check out a class. I did go back and what I saw the participants doing was a steady grinding workout, not just having fun doing what I had done, they were working out, warming up all the muscles, push ups, core work, it was total focus on whole body training.

I told myself I’d have to think about it some more and returned to my old reliable treadmill. Still to do on my bucket list is to go back and have another go round in the gym with the punching bag. You asking yourself what does exercise have to do with self expression? In my humble opinion it has a lot to do with how we process thought and keeping physically active/healthy. 20 years ago I might have been more pro-active in attending a boxing class. Now in my “senior” years, I tend to see my body in a different way, I want it to be strong, flexible, and healthy, but I recognize that it has limitations. Often it is the voice inside my head.

See what this gal is doing, this looks like fun to me. This I would like to try. I would also like to try the exercise where they run through tires that are laid out on the ground. Mind you in slow motion. When I do exercise, I feel that I am expressing a part of me that wants out, an energy that wants to be released. Whether running backwards around the gym, or doing karate kicks while I do upper body punches, I’m being active, I’m letting my body work out the kinks from spending hours at a PC. The dialogue is with me, myself and I.

When we learn to express ourselves freely and vivaciously, we feel better about ourselves, and we radiate an inner calm that benefits not only ourselves, but all around us.

a tranquil & meditative attitude

Life is never without changes

Some transitions are smoother than other. When attempting to sort through the many potentials and possibilities, often more problems surface. There is a Chinese text (Tao) that speaks on how the benefits of a slow developing engagement usually produces a much more stable and satisfying union. Same applies in Business relationships, success comes if one holds firm to inner visions while adapting to established business policies.

Wise words spoken by a sage: Refrain from hasty or passionate action – lean instead towards the romantic cultivation of love.

Sometimes it is important to realize that we are in a slow, organic unfolding of events – there are no shortcut in the journey ahead.

Buongiorno, Good morning =^_^=

A garden for sharing – please, sit with me, let’s visit –

Let’s speak from the heart, listen with full attention

for a new day has begun

A whole new day yawns before us,

give unconditional love, allow your SELF to feel

make your choices, then let go, and let your heart rejoice

As yourself each day, what remains unexpressed within me ?

In the teachings of the TAO we say…” that all that is good and unique in your should be brought out. Never hold back. The good in you is like water in a well… the more you draw from it, the more fresh water will seep into the well. If you don’t draw from the well, that water that is there will go stagnant.” (365 Tao)

PL Precept #2 – To live is to express one’s self

Transformations

Once a volcanic activity, this became a sacred place for the Indian Nation. The old legend has it that the land rose to protect a helpless girl from a bear attack. If you visit you can see Indian offerings scattered through the park. It is a peaceful and mystical place to visit. This is Devil’s Tower a National Monument in Wyoming, USA. Transformations can happen over centuries, decades, or without our even really being aware of the change till we have an “oh my” moment.

St. Nectan’s Glen, Tintagel,Cornwall, UK, one of Cornwall’s most sacred sites. The waterfall is a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest SSSI, it has been described as amongst the ten most important spiritual sites in the country. It is a place of outstanding beauty

When we take ourselves out into the natural beauty of the world, we can feel the energy shift around us. Surrounded by spellbinding landscapes that the Universe provides us, filled with the ambient sounds of life, we are refreshed. Transformation begins when we ourselves, open our hearts to the wonders of LOVE. (God/TAO)

Good Morning everyone! May the blessings from high above, bring sunshine and happiness into your life today.

Bom Dia.. Good Morning everyone!

Brazil on a foggy day *

My heart and prayers go out today to the readers who are presently suffering tragedy and sorrow, to the friends who are facing challenges that required a lot of inner strength. Those of us who today have extra energy and love to share, please, let us put our hands together in prayer and silently send Oyashikiri to our brothers and sisters out there.

The Tao – Over and over, sages have told us that the world is but a dream, and when one wakes on a foggy morning, with mists obscuring hills and valleys, we might even agree with them. Reality can often be phantasmagoria. The world is a dream from which there is no escaping.

Tough times never last, but tough people do – Robert H. Schuller

“take a chance, take charge, take control” Robert H. Schuller

Upon awakening, decide to do something – anything – that will improve the quality of life for someone. Dr. Wayne W. Dyer

I love each and everyone of you with all my heart. I have been so blessed to be able to share this time with you. If you have something to do today, do it with joy and enthusiasm.

Namaste – Oyashikiri
