musing-realities
some realities are very different from our own
we can never comprehend
until we walk in that other person’s shoes
other realities are lived in our daily lives
only they exist where not everyone
can participate or enjoy
we all have these very private moments
whether in a tree
or in a crowed scene
they belong to us.
we do live them
and they form the personality
that blooms and is seen
by those around us
our realties, when we are alone
can be disquieting
at such times,
we call upon our inner strength
we need only recall the
happy times, and how we thrived
we survived to live another day
to know happiness, means
we have known sorrow
Life is a balance
The only constant is change

-Mirrors-
Magic mirror on the wall
remember those words
who is the fairest of them all
it is 2016
many of us have looked many a time
into one mirror or another
always to find
that whether it is 1956, or 2006
we always see
the person that we are on that given day
The mirror does not play tricks
It simply reflects back what it sees…
but … for us …. we are not always ready for what we see
no matter how we dress the wall,
using a mirror that is long and tall
if we are short and small
that is what we will see
I myself, believe I’m a star =^_^=
I really don’t need a mirror
I believe that I am me no matter how I look or how I adorn myself
so, if its alright with you,
I will enter into this new year (year of the Monkey)
with a smile and a hardy happy hug
saying, be who you are, cuz I love you just the way you are…
Every day is a new day, and every moment is a new beginning
Thank you one and all
for being who you are..
Namaste – Oyashikiri

Abandoned or lost
Where does the time go. Mid July, soon to be August, it wasn’t that long ago, that we were still in 2013, Mother Time is slowly nudging the dial along, Once upon a time I was a hedge hog, and had to decide, to stay and remain or to stand up and grow, allow and become the woman I really wanted to be. OK OK no matter what disguise one wears, we never escape being the person we are. It is so much easier to wear a mask and not face the day-to-day issues face on.
So do I abandon the Tiny in me, or do I incorporate and used the lessons I gained into the woman I am today. Of course all of the experiences one lives, become a part of who we are, it is a matter of how we assimilate and process life’s blessings, rewards and challenges that make us who we are today. Living in the NOW means that I have neither abandoned or lost any part of me. I embrace all that I have been and all that I am now. I simply AM, no more, no less.
And what am I. I’m a person who is very happy and wants to share my love of life with each and every one of you. Now and always.

Cherries from our tree – Q
Welcome another Sunday =^_^=
In the last couple of years, many churches have closed their doors, Driving in the country we will often drive by a deserted church. I’m happy to say that I have seen none in this sad state the above church was in when this picture was taken. Here, in Canada, and I hope in other countries, some of these smaller churches are being bought and rejigged to house a family and or be a home for a couple or a single person….Whether home or studio, they are reborn, given a new lease on life. In my research it was a rather poignant discovery that there were just so many of these wonderful buildings now in a state of ruin.
From the state of many of these buildings, the changes happened over a period of time, not overnight. Life is amazing when you think of just how many skills you once had, are now perhaps not as honed. Take letter writing for instance, I was an avid pen pal correspondent when I was younger. In school we were encouraged to meet and write to new friends in another Province, State or country. I loved writing a letter, drawing and enclosing small pieces of artwork to share with my friend. Looking back I’ve had several from Holland (Nederlands) with the age of social media, and internet, our letters became less and less as we discovered the instant gratification of an e-mail. Soon my mailbox took on a look much like the above picture. If I didn’t write a welcome letter did not come back. where once my penmanship was art in itself. now my husband has trouble reading my grocery list.
When we stop doing something, the joy/fun and learning from that activity begins to recede, other activities take its place. Are they as fulfilling? Only you can answer that …For me I think I will sit down and write a few letters today. I will do so with enthusiasm, my journey is coming full circle, I am again interested in the Nederlands, and I am reminded of my earlier friendships ones that, shame on me, I let fall away.
This is a picture that someone titled – Determination – it shows how “Nature” will always have its way, we may struggle in life, and feel that we are locked in a place we are not happy with, but in time, you will reach through the windows and doors of your confined space and find open skies and warm sunshine. It is the “Way” (Tao) “God” – What will you do today… whatever you decide to do, walk with God! Be ONE with the Universe.
Friendships like gardens need to be tended and loved if they are to survive.

Has the ship sailed
Are there moments when you feel the ship has sailed and you are not on it. …. Do you feel you are standing on the dock watching it sail away thinking you should have gotten there sooner ….. If you are on the dock, it is because that is where you were meant to be …… That ship wasn’t the one that had a berth on it for you. At the time, you might not realize that, but Believe …. because if and when the time is right for you to be on the boat, you will be.
There is no denying that life can be a struggle. Often we can feel pulled in far too many directions. World news is negative and television and movies can be so violent. How do we stay tuned to the “word of ‘God/TaoUniverse”, we Trust in our divine connection with the Higher Power. we Believe with all our hearts that our prayers are heard, and Know that we are blessed. Whatever we are living it is because we are in a learning curve, give thanks that you are alive, the moment will pass, and life will move on.
Say good riddance to the past and move on. Today is a brand new day. My prayers are with you today, and always. Blessings, Oyashikiri…
virtual art – second life -Q
Good Monday Morning Everyone
There is a great sense of joy when we are able to express our true selves. Our environment and the things that happen all around us, are all materials for self expression. In PL we are taught that with God’s blessing, we will be able to freely express ourselves using these materials. When I found this little church tucked away between a wooded area and the sea, the artist’s build brought a genuine smile and joy to me. If you are virtual traveler this is the link to ! The Sanctuary ” Our Lady Lourdes of Lourdes”, the url is http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Excellens/189/209/67
Always focus on your true feelings and express yourself honestly. It was in following where my footsteps led that I found this little sanctuary
By leading a cheerful, joyful and beautiful life, you will learn to work for the happiness of orders as well as yourself. PL Precept #21 LIFE IS ART

good morning everyone?
Are you snug and warm?
Today is going to be very cold…
Is the partying all done? You ready now to hit the slops and exercise?
The turkey has been eaten, the desserts have been happily devoured … now you know its time to decide.
Which road to take. It is a brand new year, let’s set higher goals and work to improve ourselves. The Joy of Expression is in the Process. When each day is a new canvas, goals are much easier to attain.
The flowers of summer bloom forever in our hearts. Love is a constant in our lives, always and forever. Blessings now and always – Oyashikiri

Money and “things”
This is one of the seasons where it seems a lot of money is either being spent, or credit is being used. We all know that when we use credit, the debt is one more thing added to the financial stress we carry most of the year. Many do it anyway. It is very hard to resist all the marketing and highly paid for advertisements that bombard us from all directions. If you live in an urban area, and visit any shopping center or mall, you are blinded by colourful lights and beckoning elves and snowmen. I must get a zillion sale notices starting in November about just what I need added to my already cluttered life if I am to enjoy a good “Christmas”
The truth is, we don’t need anything from a retail store to make us happy. Happiness is a state of mind. Happiness that is acquired through a purchase soon losses its luster and appeal. That electronic must have soon is replaced by something fancier and more sophisticated. The dress or outfit once worn a few times is no longer to be seen in.
The Value of Money and Things Depends on How you Choose to Use Them. (PL teaching) Money and things are materials for your self-expression. Use them to their fullest for the sake of others and society. (Church of Perfect Liberty)
World Peace starts from Peace at Home and in Our Hearts. Inner Peace is the greatest gift of all.
Have a wonderful day everyone, be happy.
Blessings, Oyashikiri
