Piglet and I were out wandering, I felt I needed to check in on my friend from a few weeks ago.
This time he had a few friends with him. He looked no better tended to, even though the zoo was open for business, and there were cars in the parking lot. But never mind his appearance, he made me smile, and coming over, he began to mooo? bray? Funny how animal can be so friendly in their own way. There was what looked like a reindeer type of maybe moose in with them. He looked like he had faded out, dried and withered Xmas garland hanging from his beautiful antlers. However he wasn’t ready to come say hello … we had to admire from afar.
Thankfully they can’t read the sign on that storage container that is on ground in their enclosure.
PL calendar day 29 You gain strength through your hardships
Whatever you learn easily or master effortlessly tends to be forgotten. The lessons you gain through repeated mistakes are what gives you genuine strength.
It was hot, the heat was a steady blanket of relentless “ugh” for me. Not for everyone, but me, myself and I, tend to wilt in the hot sun of summer. I feel an affection/love for these creatures, even the short visit with them will be a happy memory.
Wishing you all a great start to a brand new week.

The forbidden finger making its way to share a personal moment. Yesterday I gave him some fresh taller green leaves from my side of the fence… but did not touch, only with my voice, did I whisper my love. Every living being needs to know love!
Good afternoon, thought since I’m doing a bit of this and that, I would share with you my logo from years gone by. It was a phase in my life when I was doing silver jewelry, combined with healing semi and precious stones.
I came across an older piece of marketing I had done.. back then. I no longer do “TalisMoons” but I do still believe in the energy we keep on or around us. You all know that my husband and I are on a journey .. with my husband’s “illness” has come the need to really asses and look at our lives. The changes that will be required etc.
This morning I had to take our precious “senior” dog child” to the vet, she is now with the angels and no longer suffering or tied to this mortal dimension of life. Another difficult emotional challenge, an opportunity to thank God for the blessings she brought into our lives. She gave me so much… through her I knew unconditional love which helped me to be a better person.
The following is part of what I had written many “moons” ago.
DyMoon is Love unbounded, cosmic and universal –
Transcends ALL mortal boundaries and ALL that is known
DyMoon – – is timeless and eternal
Each Dymoon TalisMoon is created with magical thought that rests on a belief in ONENESS with the Universe. They only have POSITIVE value for their owner and are ver personalized in the giving and wearing.
Follow your heart
along the feeling path
ignite inner flames with just a glance
welcome today with glass raised high
salute tomorrow with joy of mind
travel through fantasy and life
capture the spirit of imagination
ride the winds of time
enjoy an original “dyMoon”
Over the years, people just began calling me dyMoon, and to this day I am dyMoon. Reading what I wrote all those many years ago. I am still a moon maiden, still believe in the ONENESS of the Universe, and LOVE.
Yes I shed tears this morning, but they were of love, I will always cherish my Canaille and the many joys she brought into my life. It is never goodbye, It is always, till soon.
Best start of the week to you all. I love and feel blessed that you are part of my life.
Q aka DyMoon.
for those who do not know. DyMoon is an anglo version of my Chinese names.

Always and Forever
Till soon.
Good morning, this is our whippet trying to sleep last night, doesn’t matter its summer, and hot, he likes to be covered. Usually his head is snuggled into his chest or he is on his back, but for some reason last night, he was sleeping with his head on the arm of the chair. For those of us with a whippet or grey *Greyhound” even though we see their often, odd way of sprawling out, it never ceases to amuse or endear them Their ability to contort their length into weird upside down and twisted posses, and then fall asleep that way, is really amazing.
They can in a split second, wake and jump up from the most awkward of positions to a graceful and show-stopping pose. Why, because he can, he doesn’t think about it, he just does it.
Furniture has to be covered, he owns every chair in the place. Almost .. Canaille (our PWD) has hers, but that doesn’t stop him from trying to horn in. Extra loads of laundry are done, sheets, towels, and his blankies. Oh dear, does he sound spoiled…. yes…. I guess they both are.
All this to say, dogs, cats, pets of any kind, are usually accepted for who they are, we can justify almost anything they do, or get up to, and we deal with it. Accidents happen, we deal with it. As they age, we learn to live with an aging pet, who after years of unconditional love (on their part) and ours, we adjust and walk the path with them. We do all this without questioning why, they don’t interact with us like another human would, so our compassion, and love seems to just happen. Another human has a voice and thoughts, that will come out and create a different “reaction” from us.
Throw a penny into a quiet pond, it will sink or skip depending on how you do it, then it will fall into the pond and become one with the pond. We see gentle ripples, or if we threw the penny, it might make a small splash. If we throw a rock, we will get a different effect. Either way, once we “action” into, or at the pond, the “reaction” happens, then the pond returns to the state it was in prior to our interaction with it.
When we live in Perfect Liberty, we are like the pond, we hum with activity of our own, life flows. When something/someone interacts with us, how they interact, will dictate what our response will be. We acknowledge the activity, let it go, and return to our
centre” our “core”PW
Living in a state of unconditional love.. is a work in progress, that we must always strive to achieve, if we are to achieve “World Peace”
Life happens. The roses are in bloom now, tomorrow or another day, they will relinquish their time in the spotlight, to allow the nourishment to feed the roots, so they can return again. Life is a series of cycles. Acknowledge and appreciate every day. Life is good.
There is Joy in simplicity!
PL Precept #11 Always be with God
PL Precept #10 Love yourself and Others
PWD = Portuguese Water Dog
Caring,connecting,closeness
There is nothing else like it.
It is truly beautiful
to observe, and even more powerful when we participate
True, we don’t get to choose our family
but we do our friends.
That said, when we have love in our hearts
it is there for all to see and feel
a bond that lasts forever
is built on trust, acceptance and a love that is unconditional
Here is your hug for today..
Pass it on…
Namaste – Oyashikiri
Time was
when you were strong and vibrant
Now, you sit in decay
sunshine or rain, no one will visit you today
stripped bare of your dignity and purpose
still you stand proud and tall
for come what may
you know you have done it all
Mother Nature still comes to you
her flock never fail to take refuge
in the recess and protection of your walls
Time is so fleeting,
a life can happen in a minute
and be gone just as quickly
Only man measures time mechanically
in reality
our existence is a fantasy of mind
for when our bodies sleep
where does the mind go to play
it travels to forever
where there is no time
night and day
light and dark
one without the other
cannot be
therefore
time was and time is
so now has to be
forever.
Is love forever
yes when it is freely given
and unconditional
love is always and forever…..
Namaste … Oyashikiri
