Forgot to add this to my previous past...
When things get too overwhelming i drive up to the mountains for some meditation time atop Waterrock Knob or Richland Balsam (pics of both are in my gallery) - the two highest places along the Blue Ridge Parkway...:ohm: |
Watching all the beautiful bluebirds [from my porch and window] who have called our yard and trees home. This is the first time in my life that bluebirds have chosen to nest so close. It's a thrill to watch them and a special treat to see their flash of color and watch their antics (even if it means my car has birdie poop all over it).
Sitting hear enjoying a late breakfast while listening to all the birdies.... music to my ears. |

i miss Blue Jays, Bluebirds and hummingbirds - won't put out a hummingbird feeder because it attracts yellow jackets, wasps, bees etc. and i am deathly allergic to them... |
peace
floating on the bay in the sailboat and listening to the water against the boat....everything wrong kinda gets made right...
|
This may sound totally silly & redundant......but PEACE gives me peace.....
Just knowing that in spite of it all, everything's going to be ok.....a quiet Sunday morning....Ottmar Liebert playing in the background....a wonderful cup of coffee....and painting......knowing I am loved.....knowing I am LIKED.....all of those things give me peace. Life is good. |
peace... i try to make my own peace... until my own mind gets in the way. riding up the mountain up to Lake Lure for the day, or week, or.... an 8 year old boy with lots of swagga, laying in my lap.. unbelievable peace. my writing, even the dark ones give me peace. having the house to myself, and surrounding myself with loud music. the company of someone exquisite... beyond peaceful. the love of my best friend and sistah gives me unconditional peace. i find peace when i fly... then drop deep. |
Peace....
That my peace always begins with me.... My relationship with my wife...... Hearing the sounds of nature around us.......The geese flying overhead.....The crickets in the evening.... Love coming from our dearest friends..... |
Hearing the kids in the pool next door screaming marrrrrcooooo polooooooooo.
Confirming that my favorite time of year has finally arrived. Being on the water The sound of the motor at top speed Hearing the wake pounding against the bow Being surrounded by the beautiful Gulf waters |

I just asked Blade "what is a Red-shouldered Hawk? I've heard of Red-Tailed Hawk....but Miss Scarlett says we have Red-shouldered Hawks here? his response: :eyebrow: :seconddoh: She must'a been looking at them upside down. :rofl: |

Seriously - here's a photo http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_AiHL6WpaVn...,+2008+(6).JPG And a link... They do exist...LOL |

By the time they are five days old, nestling Red-shouldered Hawks can shoot their feces over the edge of their nest. |
listening to horses eat their evening meal
baking a batch of cookies mixing potting soil feeding the birds on a cold winters morning painting my toenails to match my fingernails pulling out summer clothes and having them all fit or be loose eating a cantelope that is warm and juicy water lapping on my ankles as I watch a child play in it going thru the many cards I have kept over the years from various people for various reasons coffee on the front porch very early on a very hot summer day remembering love not gone wrong |
What gives me peace...
*Swimming *Sending out cards *Meditating/Praying *Fishing *Birdwatching *Gardening *Loving on my furkids |
sitting quietly and reading a good book with the old kitty in my lap
calling an old friend and refreshing our acquaintance praying honey in my hot tea my town is called the city of churches and I love to hear the church bells ring...I find myself listening for them throughout the day |
music, particularly with an acoustic guitar.
|
Peace of my and soul
A warm morning shower
Sitting on my balcony early in the monring drinking a cup of coffee. Watching the hummingbirds visit me and enjoy their meal Chanting and reciting morning and evening Gongyo ( Buddhist prayers) |
Create
stark white linen canvas
Squeezing a strip of color onto a palette swiping a clean sable brush through it that first stroke on a blank canvas somewhere from within an image a painting is born |
Deep peace givers. . .
Acceptance
Releasing desire Calm knowledge that it all ends one day |
Giving a good spanking and all that juicy stuff
|
The ocean... which I haven't seen for far too long. Will be rectifying that soon!
Ruthie |
Walking in the barn and inhaling deeply, listening....looking, exhaling......
Lying in her arms..... Sitting by the water.... The birds in early morning.... |
When I figure it out you'll be the first to know ... :watereyes:
|
Weeding my garden...............a deep cleanse...........
|
Sleeping..... tis true :|
|
Watching flames as in a candle or fire.:vigil:
|
Listening to music
Watching my cats sleep and listening to them snore |

Removing toxicity from my life gives me peace.....sometimes, it's easier said than done, but when it happens, it's magically delicious!

for today___
sittin' in complete Silence-
|
What gives me peace...
*Watching the fire in my chimnea; *Angels; *Stained glassed windows in any Church; *My garden. |
Layin' in the grass on My back__and starin' at the clouds then closin' My eyes and gettin' lost in all the sounds around....:praying:
|
Falling asleep with a gentle rain falling on the house, cuddled up with the wife, our boy in his room and all the pups sleeping soundly. Peace.

strong arms that hold me when fear knocks the quail singing in the back yard listening to my girl, adele |

Putting around in the garden.
Giving myself kudos for sticking to my values and boundaries without guilt! Watching my little Frog Dog take in the scent of a flower. Giving my old cat that is in the end of life phase due to kidney failure lots of love and brushing him while he purr thanks me. |
