The Door
Inspired this reaction from
one of my dearest of friends..

voici le moment
au fond de moi, j’en suis certaine
at this moment
I am certain
from deep within
my spirits stirs
I feel the warmth
of recognition
the comfort of knowing
a new day has begun
somewhere near
the sun is bright
even tho’
I am here in the night
God is everywhere
day and night
we are ONE
Oyashikiri
It is December 25,
there is not a car on the lot,
a rare time indeed
you have all the parking space
you could want

oh dear,
what did I just spot
coloured signs adorn every window
on the lot

enjoy the quiet and tranquility today
Buddha babe
cuz tomorrow you won’t stand a chance
these lots will be crammed
with shoppers galore
each scrambling
to get through your doors

You will wake with a start
when on Dec. 26th
the doors will open
and the bargain hunters
charge with determination
through your doors
unto the sales floor
Boxing Day will have arrived.
To all the brave ones
who headed out today
safe journey, play fair
and most of all
be patient at the cash
LOL you will have a long wait
before your prize
is truly claimed
ahhh but what the hay
it is all about Boxing Day, Ay!
Q

a child’s expression
so much innocence
the emotion just happens
as we mature
somewhere, some how
we find ways
to hide or not show
how we truly feel
and in time
we ourselves forget
that the facade
is really just that
an outer face
and not what
we are feeling
at all

PL Precept #15 all is a mirror
Oyashikiri

Snow what a blessing
from above, crystals
with prisms that catch the light
an art form,
that can dazzle and delight

it is true, we can’t fall asleep
in plain sight,
enjoying the sun the same way
we can in summer

oh, but other delights await us
and the winter fun can begin
the slops are being groomed
snowshoes are being readied
I can smell the baking pies
and anticipate the wonder
in the children’s eyes
the happy smiles
when they fly down a hill
all bundled up, on their first toboggan ride
oh dear.. there is always
an old bear, who wants us to know
winter or not
he will have his time in the sun

truth be told
he is right of course,
no matter the season
there is never a good reason
to get out and enjoy
the day no matter what

I for one
will wear my new dress
and have fun

hmmm somehow Mr. Snowman, I don’t think that this is a friendly kiss
Saturday..groan.. another morning
Dogs want to eat, I just want to sleep
ok already, I’m up
what, no coffee
some days, the world can seem weary
the trick,
treat yourself
you might still be a tad out of focus
but you CAN do it
head for the woods, hills, whatever beckons
yesterday, was yesterday
today is today
seize the day
make it yours
have a great day
I’m rooting for you..
you bet!! I LOVE you
Oyashikiri

Right. If only life were that simple..
Oophs sorry, wrong door, and you can simply close it and go to the next one. It happens more often than we would like to acknowledge. Another project, another impossible discussion with ?, a deadline looming and we’ve not come to a decision.
If we landed in a bit of a pickle, chances are, we by our own actions had a hand in lading us there. Time to stand back and really examine the “door/issue/challenge”. See it as an opportunity.
Don’t be deterred by how it looks, if you want inside, or to know what is behind the doors, then you will need to creatively find a way to do just that.
A door big or small, any shape at all, has always fascinated me, I doubt that will change anytime soon. Even when I know what is behind the door. I want to open the door and go inside. Unless of course it is housework, and dirty dishes waiting on the other side.

plain on the outside maybe, but inside…comforts of home in a land far far away
Where would you like to be today?
Come on, come outside and play..
we can each take a turn
at having our own way…
hahahaha
do you believe me?
sure you do
after all
I am after all
an another version
of
YOU
Oyashikiri
what on earth have you gotten into
certainly the month of October
brings out the devilish urge
to prance and dance
in outlandish attire
in full view
the hippo you?
that was years ago.
when all you knew was being a Tiny
in a world of fantasy and creativity
where are your clothes
a fine witches brew
you’ve gotten into
it isn’t even Hallow’s Eve
hide behind the pumpkin’s silly grin
what are we to do
when the full moon
comes into view
dear oh dear
I do believe we have a case
of October-itice
we can be anything we want to be
October is the month to play
to dabble
in a witches brew
come join Q
we wait for YOU
hahahaha
coming to a store near you..

have fun, explore allow your creativity to flow
if you visit virtual worlds, you have lots of room to play.
where ever you are. be present in the moment
and enjoy being YOU
I will tell you no lies…
instead of being weed free
this year, this garden patch was left to be
what a surprise to walk by and find
that the fall colour
and nature’s design
presented such a pretty sight
for my eyes
truth be told
I got bold
and asked that I be given a sign
on what to have for supper
what I was given
was a package of frozen clams
sigh, not really what I had in mind
but I did ask
so here it is
clam, fresh okra on a bed
of fresh Japanese noodles
enough said
I’m off to partake
of the bounty on my plate
see what happens
when left on my own
no questions asked
you get
the mix and match
that rolls around
in my cluttered head
have a delightful day ahead
till then
smiles will bring my day to an end.
Oyashikiri
frozen clams small package
spaghetti squash cubed 1 cup
fresh okra 8 med, size
thin slices of yellow potato (small)
tablespoon water
noodle sauce to taste
salt, pepper, red peppers mixed
Japanese fresh noodles
steam ingredients together (wok) the okra creates a nice sauce texture
Enjoy
doors can be so inviting, complex or just plain in your face
whatever, when you see a door that is closed,
you want to go inside, especially if it is in a location
where had you come at another time,
it would have been open to visitors.
or like this old fire truck, we could look,
but access was not an option
I encounter doors, in all shapes sizes, and
in very different places
always a door that presents itself
is one of curiosity and intrigue
just imagine all the stories that can be told
thanks for visiting,
another Thursday Doors.
