Life is a sublime experience
We come from No Where
We are Now Here
and we are heading to No Where
What is the difference between, No where and Now Here… space

Appreciate the strengths as well as the shortcomings in others. Even though you may not agree with someone, complaining about it doesn’t help. Remember, we are all human….. and accept each person for who they are. (PL2019.22)

Don’t be captured by the past; live in the now. All things, whether they were positive or negative, are things that have happened in your past. You have the whole world ahead of you to focus on, (2011.28)
We all live through rough moments when we wonder– what? why? how did this happen? Why me? These ahHA moments can be startling, revealing, and even painful. But. the truth and reality of it .. is that moment will pass.. in French there is an expression, “want to or not, this is what it is”… When you have these light bulb moments, thank “Universe/God” you’ve reached the turning point. Say thank you… and move on.
Feelings of appreciation become real when we express them.




Find the door .. open it, walk out or walk in, the world is yours to discover.

My earlier wordless blog, was a fun snapshot I had, that simply had me smiling at the funny things we do when we are young and not caught up in being “prim” “proper” “lady like” and all the other wordings adults have to reign in the innocent playfulness we have as children.
As we mature, and develop, we soon discover that part of us needs to be held back, or kept in the shadows, because “it” may not be appreciated by others. However, we are who we are, and it is not healthy to always try to supress our “child” or “drama”.. drama is not always negative, it is about emoting and expressing feelings.
When we live doing our best not to hurt or slight others taking care to be mindful, avoiding arrogance and conceit, then the simple pleasure of pure expression, can be fun… silly, and inane. When was the last time you made a silly face? Just for fun
To see the snapshot, you will have to visit the first blog of the day =^_^=

l am a bird in a cage

pretty and loved
yet I feel so alone
people delight and stare
they love my cage
and the clever way I get carried around
when the admiring is done,
it is back into a box I go
what good is it to be pretty and loved
if I can’t be free
when walking through my dream
it seems, that all I did was walk
I searched, had no idea what I was searching for
but on, and on I went
down corridors, and carpeted halls
even ran up broad marbled stairs
this is not my first time in the maze
sometimes it feels like I’m lost for days
it’s the past, it’s the present
yes I talk to people
I ask for directions,
I’m realizing now as I recount
this tale, no one ever says good day
not me, or anyone else I meet
we are all so busy, busy,busy
how can I be lost
I’m surrounded by people
yet I am on this endless search
I can’t find my “room” my private space
everything looks the same, each corridor
I find, has numbered doors,
1st, 2nd, 21st. floor it doesn’t matter
no door is mine, besides, I seem to have lost the key
what web have I created with my nattering mind
and multi tasked habits
oh please, why do I insist on constantly searching
when if only I would stop, just stop
and look up instead of rushing
from one place to another
looking up
I will see the sky, the Universe
and in the vastness of the Universe
my spirit will find peace
from the chattering of my mind
of daily matters that blind me
to the inner voice with me
that tells me, I need not search
I need not worry that I can’t get home
I am always home
God/Tao/Universe is always with me
I am never alone
I need only stop
and look up.
