Wedding Bliss


Well my eldest daughter is now married and what a pleasure weddings are.  They are so special and so filled with love.  You just have to watch the people and see the love doing its rounds, people getting tearful and thinking of their wedding date past or future.
Stopping the traffic
Stopping the traffic on a Saturday morning.  Well would it not be a memory for you to be driving along the road and see a bride and groom kissing in the middle of the road and all the guests walking along with them.  Such a special moment.
The Moment
Well another memory for a very young boy, watching the bride getting dressed and ready.  All that excitment and amazement on his face.  Also a special day he will always remember.

Across the ages
A very very proud granny checking in on her granddaughter getting dressed.  Full of love and hoping that her marriage will be filled with love and of course lots of children.
Family Time
The proud parents and sister really enjoying the day and excited about the fact that there is a new member going to be joining their family.  The Dad is especially excited that another male is joining him.  They are all in the moment, loving the photos and the day.


All the ladies
The three woman together, can they live together can they live apart.  The next step in their lives -one fleeing the nest and setting up her own making the circle bigger. Another one waiting for her day and looking forward to a time when she will also have her own place. They will continue to remain close and visit, the bond is there and always will be.

The Moment


Today I am feeling very peaceful - it feels like a deep peace. Which of my feelings is the real me.  Must be all of them.  I think I am definately evolving, learning to release, learning to live in the moment, this is the me that I wish would hang around more.  No urgency, no sadness, only the moment with all its blessings to be discovered.  The buddhists chanting in the background  The wind bringing sound to the stillness.  It is all so beautiful sometimes I wish time would stand still.  The smells of the burning incence connect me right to this moment.  Who wants a life that is planned down the the moment when you can rather discover yourself moment by moment, embracing and laughing at yourself and realizing the same within every energy particle on the plant.  Oh what a beautiful experience.  To be in love with the moment.

Art Class

Well on Wednesday I went to my art class and wow, so much for relaxing and painting. I get stressed break out in a sweat and battle to put the correct brush stroke on my canvas. Then my teacher comes over picks up my paint brush and with ease puts down a couple of brush strokes and what a difference it makes to my picture, just those few strokes.  It just makes me realise how much we need to just let go in life and go with the flow and within a couple of moves our lifes will look so different.  If we are too small and restricted then life will feel like it is stagnant.  We have to trust and make that brush stroke, if it looks or feels wrong we change it, but mostly it will be correct.
