Sometimes I like to share with you moments that are special, and work done by other creative artists. This is such a time. We may not get to some of the wonderful vistas I share with you, but the amazing artists who took the pictures, created the music or made the videos are people who I am eternally grateful to … They bring me parts of the world I would never likely see on my own.
And YOU dear reader are part of my life, my dreams, and my adventure.
This delightful island with about 3000 residents, is a colourful sight. Its main industries are fishing and lace making, the houses were originally painted in this way so that fisherman could see their homes from sea, Practical, but for me, when I look at the wonderful array of colours i see love and harmony, especially when the sun is shining down on the community
When I first saw this picture, I had to look at it again to see if it was a painting or a picture.The yellow is so sunny, so bright and cheerful. What struck me about the place is the serenity and quiet of the place. I saw the pictures first, and then the video.
This picture with the visual inclusion of signs of life,took me right to the village, I could imagine the children playing outside, the women gathering to talk over coffee. The curtain pulled across so that the family could enjoy the fresh air and still retain their privacy. The village has been there for years and years, the lacing industry there since 1400’s. It takes tourists about 45 min. to get there by boat, Burano is an island in the Northern Venetian Lagoon, close to Venice and Murano. It is known for its brightly hued houses, We can certainly see why.
You know how I love doors. Doors are the symbol (for me) of new beginnings. I love, love, love them. Their diversity, the mystery, the adventure. It appears that in this community, I would never lack for an interesting door or doorway.
In our immediate world, the doors may not always be visible but they are there never-the-less. Watch for them,be flexible in your wanderings, dare to step outside the box and explore a new door today. or let one close, and enjoy the freedom of exploring and seeing the world with fresh eyes, eyes wiling to surrender to the joy of living, basking in the emotions of life and the myriad pleasures derived from living life to its fullest.
So much to see, so much to do, there are times when it feels like one is visiting Alice in wonderland. Only we aren’t sure how we got there, or just what to do next. It happens, you are still being social, getting things done, but somehow you have lost the connection to your modem.
You know something is amiss, just can’t put your finger on it. We’ve all heard the expression, “one door closes, another opens”.. Sometimes it just isn’t obvious where that other door is. Some doors are not what we expected, but then that is the beauty of life isn’t it. To grow and develop our knowledge base, we have to explore beyond our known borders.
Is today a day we will open a door, or will we admire the door and keep walking. Do we lean towards doors with history, or do we wait for that one door that will beckon. ???
Admittedly some doors are well boarded up, so do we really want to go inside. In my world the answer would be, probably not, I tend to live in the moment, and going back isn’t an option for me. I have discovered that life will bring me the lessons that I need to relearn, perhaps in a different format, but I recognize the lesson. Maybe not at once, but at a given moment the light bulb goes on, and I just know, I’ve been in this space and time before. Perhaps the players are different and the location, however the lesson is one that I’ve faced before.

PL Precept # 12 Everything has a way according to its Name
When I hit a phase of walking in a daze, I “Let Go” and just try to slow down so that I can regroup. In the car while going to the gym, instead of going to the one closest to me, I took a left and drove to the one further away. This meant driving several miles out of my way, but on open road. Driving can be therapeutic.
This is what I heard when pushed the play button – it made a difference in my mood, and set the pace for the rest of the day.
It speaks for itself, I hope I have done this right and it plays for you Please take a moment to watch this. You will be glad you did. Peace and Love =^_^=
