Slow down
let the world turn
you need only stand still
yesterday, today
and tomorrow
will never be the same
even if you don’t move
the Universe, and
atmosphere will change
all around you
it is impossible for you
to relive today
just as it is
impossible to
really know tomorrow
so
why try
let it go
let it happen
cuz, like right now
you and me
we just shared
a now moment
at different time
you there, me here
wow
together again.

Time was when we met people face to face, spent time engaging in conversation, and learning about one and another. We exchanged information, experimented with little bits of information here and there, that gave us an idea of how similar or how different we were from one another.
Some acquaintances became fast friends, and others, drifted in and out, never really rooting in a place close by. Like a carefully planned out garden, we build friendships on personalities that compliment our own. Some bolster our insecurities, others are comfortable, and nurturing, time spent with them is rewarding no matter what you decide to do.
Other times, we miss out on a new opportunity because we have only focused on the familiar and not ben receptive to a new encounter. With the age of social media, the internet has changed how we gather and tend to our friends. Some friends, we have never met in person, we may share time with them, and exchange views and ideas, but we have never looked into their eyes, or known their touch.
I admired this trunk when I came upon it on a walk. How many little critters worked to create this fascinating design, I’ll never know. But it was through their collective energies, likely at different times, and stages in the tree’s life.. I was enchanted by a piece of history.
When I think of what is happening in the world today, I wonder how someone somewhere in time and space, will look at how we (human race) spent our time while on this earth. Will we have squandered the wonderful possibilities we have had placed before us. Will we build on our intelligence and creativity, or allow negative forces to stunt and cripple the beauty and transformation of love and friendship.
Now more than ever, we should all be united, in a common goal….World Peace.

There was a time
when life was simple,
we met someone special
we had our first kiss
and we thrilled at the possibilities
of a fairy tale life, sure that
our prince/princess would be the
catalyst, to the story book
ending of …and they lived
happily ever after.
I thought of this quote before I decided to share’ – I had to ponder if it was true, in my mind, did I think it relevent to what I wanted to say. I know not everyone likes to dance. But to those of us who do.. who enjoy the passion and exhilaration of being held and masterfully led through an active art form, or to simply workout and exercise the body.with a partner. It matters if your partner is in harmony with your unspoken rhythm. I liken it to being a passenger on a road bike (motorcycle) how the two bodies have to be in sync for the ride to be smooth and effortless.
See this landscape, the person there, might have thought they were alone, but they weren’t were they, someone took the picture. Even if they were unaware of the photographer, he/she was there. We are never really alone, we sometimes feel alone, but the reality there are people all around. Often like us, just waiting to connect with another human being.
Today I got this picture of the cookie monster.. in yesterday’s blog I used Oscar the grouch for the cookie monster, in sharing his observation, this person connected with me personally, it told me I don’t sit and write here alone in my office, friends read and even if they don’t always write, like or say something… they are there. We need not chase a dream, the connection between us is in our hearts. PL Precept #7 Everything exists in Relativity.

That was our destination, we headed for majestic shores of the St. Lawrence and the 1000 Islands in the Township of Leeds. When we take to the road it is about relaxation, meeting new people and making friends and memories. We are incredibly fortunate to live in a country where we can enjoy nature, big cities and small communities in practically any direction we decide to travel.
Whether you are into Arts and Culture, taking in a theatre production, and free outdoor concert in the park Gananoque has it all. We spent time in the town park, where its serene ambiance, the light summer breeze and the good company made for a most enjoyable way to spend the time.
Often we are finding ourselves, on the move.we are setting off in one direction or another, and time passes us by, and is gone before we know it. In the truck when the miles speed by, the world around us is like a movie of our own making. Being the passenger, my world is certainly different then my husbands. He is focused on the road, and the vistas and thoughts that crowd his awareness.. Sometimes we see the same things, sometimes we don’t. We are in the same vehicle, going the same direction, both in front seats…But we are not seeing the same things.
And that dear friends is true in all we experience say and do….=^_^= On the way back, we were driving into a real whopper of an electrical storm.. Spoiled wife, was nodding on her side of the car, while hubby got to experience the real highlights of the spectacular event.
We had gotten me a warm fleece throw to wrap around myself on the way home… and i was snuggled in for the night-time drive.. =^_^= oh, I heard his exclamations of wonder and awe…. he was enjoying his movie, and I mine. We shared every moment of our journey, together in our own way.
Life is good when we appreciate each others differences. When we learn to live in harmony with the uniqueness of the world around us….. the everything exists in relativity.

Friendship – sometimes it is easier with a friend
and it is a good friend that will let you be silly
and share in your moment, to create a smile.
Share a smile today…
they are contagious!!

As clear as day
I saw the sun and moon
when you looked into my eyes
I know no other way
to express that moment in time
when in a single moment,
I knew the meaning of sublime
how often have I meditated and prayed
to know such intense and immense joy
suddenly I am so alive
this is not something I can contrive
no, I know… I really really know
together, we are divine.
God is love, we are ONE

There are times when we feel that we are alone, we never are. It is only that we are so consumed with pain and suffering, that the world around us seems very far away.
At times we seek solitude simply so we can quiet our minds and pray. We close our eyes and search for the calm within. Pain, whether chronic or ongoing, is such a challenge to bear. Energy levels drop so rapidly when we are focused on dealing with the discomforts we face, to some it is on a daily basis. There are those who need our prayers today, when we pray, please add the brothers and sisters whose names we may not know, but who we do know suffer and need a lift from our prayers.
Together in silent prayer, we are a strong force, and healing energy will find its way to those who need it today. The Universe is always listening/aware, through prayer – dedication and faith we forge ahead to bridge the challenges we face. We live the moment and we move on.
Tomorrow will be another day, with the love of all who pray today, know that we will all be blessed, For we will have prayed together, to bring strength and comfort to those in need this day. As you sit quietly I lay hands on all who need the special touch today. Feel the warmth of my hands on your shoulders as I take in and share in your discomfort. You are never alone. You may not see me physically but I am there. All who pray with me, surround you with healing thoughts. Feel the love around you, let it surround you, be in the moment NOW.
Thank you everyone for sharing in this moment of prayer
Blessings -Namaste – Oyashikiri
