layered beauty, picture of the day

What an enjoyable activity artwork is. I am, I grow. I turn my leaves towards the sun.

Climate change is real. It’s stormy weather. Just goes to show you don’t hear what you don’t want to hear. It reduces my little problems to insignificance.

The fruit of Mercy is Peace. The fruit of Love is Strength. The fruit of Compassion is Unity. The fruit of Hope is Joy. The magic transmutation of first principles. Reason enough to spread Mercy, Love Compassion and Hope.

everyPerson is rare compared to all the stuff in our solar system,  Let alone our stellar neighborhood We are all precious and worthy of comfort, fulfillment and care. Shine on you crazy diamond

Sometimes a solution presents itself, with persistence and hope.

when the expectation becomes more or less universal surely it will be fulfilled.

rooted and simple

it costs nothing to open your  fist back into a useful hand.. if you  are carrying a heavy suitcase, and are tired of its downward pull, the easiest thing to do is put it down. unclench your fingers one by one. anger and retribution are just like that heavy suitcase. don’t look for someone else to take up your burden. just put it down yourself. if you do so and leave it be, anger evaporates unattended.

My monkey mind is tired,. it sure does take a lot to make it that way. This is not always to my benefit. Elephant mind is rarely tired.

instead of being s certain of your place in the world, especially if it is maintained by someone else’s suffering, wake up to that suffering and take action to lessen the amount of pain in the world.  Listen, and talk with your heart, and not just your mouth. Listen and don’t just wait for your turn to talk. Take a break from being right, or status conscious, or the chasing of material things. Be fair and decent and experience how real that feels.

my circumstances are in a shambles, and i was the one who made it this way. playing catch up is exhausting, as is adulting consistently. stability and survival can be hard to maintain. not my strong suit in life so far.

i have to friends one i used to work with and the othr a high school pal who are now deceased, but thier birthday reminders still come up on facebook. a soft memorial.

I was talking to some friends about climate change, and some possible tangible solutions, and my suggetions were dismissed as being too exprnsive. When it comes to species survival projects “ costs too much “ should not even be a consideration. Money is the illusion. It is fleeting, backed by nothing. Non-survival for our species i a much more permanent matter. Let no barrier as flimsey as human greed, and false perception of a shortage of resources get in the way of doing what is right. The most important thing is to give our children, and their inheritors a beautiful wholesome world to live in. Not Dystopia.

Thinking of forgiveness, what are you giving for? Mostly for your own benefit Forgiveness lightens the spirit, and deceases the amount of anger manifested in the world. It really is divine, if you think the divine is the wellspring of mercy, Love and Compassion. The more you do it the easier it becomes until it is almost un-needed.

I have been a beautiful misfit my whole life. I have listened to the different drummer. It is time I fit back into the bigger picture as a self supporting artist. I am calling on the machine to lift me and my work up to a famous high. Manufacturers lets make  a deal.

That giving feeling is the best feeling. I gave little tokens of appreciation to the hospital staff who have taken good care of me. I am very satisfied with their customer service, and I wanted to tangibly show them how much. What a kick!!!

It does not pay to worry and fret. It pays to keep your eyes and heart open, and be present and ready to what is happening. Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag and feed ‘em to the fishe. Put cement galoshes on anxiety. Be ruthless.
