Colours in my garden

My Backyard

We had a beautiful rainbow last week very early in the morning while I was gardening.

I took it as a sign of Good things to come, New Beginnings....

Happy Birthday Joseph

Looking and Seeing

this is Frenchmans Valley

I was looking for some fields of flax but all I found was this handlful

 

there are bridges to nowhere all over the province

 

  I love the way these two compliment each other

Whether I'm in my garden or driving around I like to take a closer look at the changing landscape.

I wonder how many just drive the route daily and take no notice.

I find the same route changes daily and I try and stay focused on the moment and experience the miracles we see daily.

Every Decision

Every decision I make is a choice between a grievance and a Miracle
I let go of all grievances and resentments and choose the Miracle (Deepka Chopra)

Sailing on the Prairies

I"m often asked why I moved to the prairies.
I always wanted to go sailing because the ocean is so calming and so close to the sky and clouds. I also love to drive and the prairies are much the same as the ocean but a bit more safer to navigate alone.
 I love to see the changing landscape the colours are big and bold and they jump out at you, or it's different shades of green with a streak of yellow. The clouds passing darken and deepens the colour. I think it's time to start painting what I see.
The pictures don't do the views justice.......... at times it just takes my breath away. Watching the clouds moving quickly over the fields, or just watching the clouds......breathless
When my mind is storming I go for a drive to calm my nerves and appreciate the beauty
that surrounds us.
My flowers do the same for me, I will stop and take pictures of wild flowers and wonder why so many people don't notice the beauty there. It calms me down like meditations and before I know it the rain has stopped. My Mteam friend has told me many times how blessed I am and I agree Everything I need right Now is here.

After the Rain

Crying is like the rain, it comes down hard at times and you think, is it ever going to stop, and then it comes in little showers here and there.
I've been grieving the loss of a good job,
It's like any loss you have to give it time to sink in go thru the process.
I had to admit it's time to change my point of view of what I truly can do, letting go of the what I think are my physical strengths.
I thought I had already dug deep, but the same issue keeps popping up in different ways.
It's time I learned the lesson and moved on LOL
I will continue to seek the positive in both work and play.


this picture collage is of my garden by the front door of my house, it's in the second year of development, I'm happy with the progress.

My gardens and getting back to nature have always been my salvation.

This is the picture of the front Door before

 

This is the work in progress

61 Centering in Truth

Truth involves establishing an aware relationship between your inner core and significant others in your life. Centering in truth involves the ability to perceive a fundamental wisdom, reflected within yourself -- and also in your relationships.

Truth is transformed into power when you disperse all prejudice and make yourself receptive to the world as it really is. Truth's power can be a remarkable force indeed -- yet is rarer than generally imagined. It can be maintained only by cultivating a genuine openness to things as they are -- a willingness to see, rather than merely look.

Whenever your inner life is clouded, your influence in the world is under a shadow. If you are fearful, you will be attacked; if you cloak genuine mysteries in dogma, opportunities for new insight will be lost. If you vacillate in upholding your principles, you will be tested. Yet, when you are firm and strong, the power of truth can break through even the most stubborn minds.

In any debate, the power to perceive the truth in the other side's argument is essential to achieving success. It is possible to influence even the most difficult people, or improve the most difficult circumstance, through the power of universal truth -- for unvarnished truth is something to which all things naturally respond. Get in touch with the part of yourself that is aware of this universal force of truth. Cultivate this inner resource, and you will become adept at using it to bond with others to support a common purpose.
