ハートで世界をつなげる

See no Evil                         Speak no Evil                               Hear no Evil

I like these 3 little monkeys. For me the above interpretation is:

See the Beauty in everything and everyone especially if a situation

comes across negative. Remember though not to ignore something

if it is wrong.

Take action and do everything in your power to practice speaking kind and friendly words instead of being critical.

Remember If you hear words that are damaging or untrue take

responsibility to gently inform the speaker.

What is your interpretation of  our little monkeys above???

鉄道喫茶に行ってきました。

世の中いろいろなものがありますね。

この喫茶店、店の真ん中にど〜んとジオラマがあるんです。

店の３分の２はジオラマで埋まっているといってもいいぐらいです。(^^;)

Ｎゲージの線路が縦横無尽に走っていました。

カメラ付きの列車も走っていて、生中継で景色を写し出しています。

場所は悪いのですが、満席でした。

他にないというのは強みですね。

限られたマーケットですが、面白いです。

似たような店は一宮にもあるようです。

To flirt with patience is indeed a jeweled track to the treasure chest.

With many a magnificent sunrise, there is sure to be an equally

breathtaking sunset which will set the stage for the main event.

The roads that you take to bask in the sparkles of the gems is no doubt

the ultimate discovery; at each inviting bend.

これは、主要ブラウザを比べたグラフです。

棒が長いほど性能がいいわけですね。

へー、インターネットエクスプローラーだけダントツで性能が悪い・・・

ちなみに私はFireFoxをつかってます。

プラグインがいろいろ出てて、自分好みにカスタマイズできてしまうのがいいんです。

I thought this is pretty cool and wanted to share this “AWAKENING”

little exercise with you all, at Heart to Heart.

Whilst looking at the above words  in the video write all of them down

on a piece of paper and whilst these words of feeling and meaning flash

before you, write down someone`s name that first comes to your mind;

beside that word.

Don`t cheat!!!  Read the following AFTER the video and activity that

you`ve done, is over!

REMEMBER!!!! READ THIS AFTER THE ACTIVITY IS COMPLETED!

Stop Reading now!

At the end of this activity, you may have found that some names come up

more than once. If  this is so, it is logical to think that you have a deep respect

admiration and love for these people. They give you INSPIRATION .

If your family, boyfriend`s, girlfriends, wives, husband`s , friends,teachers

and people that are close to you aren`t on the list and you have movie stars,

pop singers, people from books, the news announcer on TV etc……(people you

don`t know personally) that are on your list; I think it is fair to say, that  you

should look into the life you`re living and ask yourself honestly if you are

really happy RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW!

The last few seconds showed negative emotions. Are these strong in your life now?

Remember that negative emotions are only a reflection of the fear inside of  YOU!

Maybe you need to look into yourself and make some changes about how you do

things such as communicating with  people and who you choose to be close to.

Start living in the truth instead of fantasy and really see if some changes need to be

made within yourself so your life reflects the above video. Stop making excuses

and start living. Remember YOU are the writer of your own history!

LIVE YOUR LIFE WITH PEOPLE WHO YOU CAN LEARN FROM, GROW WITH; AND

PRACTICE UNCONDITIONAL LOVE with EVERYONE. SURROUND YOURSELF WITH

PEOPLE WHO ENCOURAGE YOU TO BE LOVE AND MOST OF ALL LIVE YOUR LIFE

WITH YOUR HEART AND SOUL WIDE OPEN.

これ新発売の電化製品です。

なんだと思いますか？

たぶん、普通の感覚ではわからないものです。

わかりましたか？

これ、扇風機なんです！！！

ファンがない(^_^;

あの、掃除機で有名なダイソンの扇風機でした。

トイレの手を乾かす機械と航空技術と掃除機の技術の融合か？

それにしても不思議ですねー

価格は、3万円台後半とちょっと高めとのこと。

まあ、おしゃれな店に扇風機は似合わないけど、
これなら置いておいてもかっこいいのかな？

エアコンの１／５０の省エネらしいです。

誰か買ったら見せてくださいね！

でも、これから冬だしね・・・

庭に咲く綺麗な花がありました。

夢中で写真を撮っていると、中からかわいい客人が現れました。(^_^)

どんな昆虫かわかりませんが、ピンクの花びら、黄色いしべ、そして緑の虫と
さわやかな写真が撮れました。

白い糸を引くように、沢から水が流れ落ちてきます。

見ているだけで、心が洗われる気がします。

サイズは小振りですが、栗の実もたくさん落ちていました。

自然の恵みに感謝したいですね。

What does `Retreat` mean?

It means to stop and go back or to  leave a condition behind you.

In a spiritual sense it means to withdraw from regular activities

and take time to reflect, meditate or pray individually or

in a group.

Recently I have just come back from a Group Retreat and this may

be my 8th one that I`ve been to. 7  in Japan and 1 in Australia in

the past 4 years.

Each one reveals something different for me personally and this

last one showed me that through regular cleansing of the heart and

meditation, I am naturally learning to let go of unnecessary egotistic

traits and am mastering to hear the divine secrets that pristine angels

are whispering  in my ear!

この毛虫君。

大きくなったら何に変身するんでしょうね。

でも、もう秋なのに今から間に合うのかな？

それとも、サナギのまま春まで待てるのかな？

そういえば、アゲハチョウには春型と秋型がある
と聞いたことがあります。

この毛虫も、きっと来年の春には立派な蝶？？？
になるのかな？

Everybody is looking for love. The secret lies within, if one just

stops for a moment and unbecomes.

People are looking high and looking low. But if you just stop for

a second you will feel it throbbing in your very core.

Once you`ve discovered that you can`t find it through external

desires; You have found the road to linking the internal with a

new reality of what your eyes will devour and only then true

love will expose the maturity of its beckoning flowers.

綺麗な花には棘があるという言葉があります。

この花は、まさにそんなイメージですね。

気をつけろ！という意味なのか？

覚悟をして掴め！って意味なのか？

物事は、よくよく考えてから行動しないといけないですね。

まあ、そう簡単にいかないもんですが・・・

My traveling shoes have taken me to unknown places.

I have lived in many countries that have embedded my

soul with effervescent faces and traces.

Without despair, it is more than fair to say, that my share

of cloudy days have brought me in and out of the learning snare.

Through knowledge and coexistence with other likened beings;

I have become empowered with mystical strength that continues

to aid me with ongoing challenges; hence enabling me to spread

the love with my sturdy traveling shoes, that can sometimes

lift loved ones out of  “The Blues….” and glide through the storm

like a dove.

夜もまた素敵なムードが漂います。

あいにく、天気は今ひとつでしたが、晴れた日には天の川が広がるそうです。

いよいよ秋も深まりますが、冬の支度も着実にすすんでいます。

冬の寒い日は、囲炉裏を囲んで、暖炉や火鉢で暖まりたいものですね。

知り合いの持つ、清見の隠れ家にお邪魔してきました。

囲炉裏があると聞いていたので、相当な古民家かと思っていたんだけど、
中は意外にも古さとモダンが同居したような不思議な雰囲気でした。

とにかく、お部屋がたくさんある！
12畳の囲炉裏の間
6畳の和室が３部屋
24畳のリビング
そして、20畳と６畳の屋根裏部屋

そしてそして、なんと離れまであります。

周りは自然がいっぱい。

つづく

Since late February this year my lifestyle has changed considerably.

I moved state, my workload has become less with more productive

outcome; and my body is naturally demanding more sleep, less nicotine,

a more nutritious diet, routine exercise, and healthier choices in my

out-look with business, personal relationships and spiritual development.

The one thing that I have kept consistent and practiced diligently

in my life as of 4 years ago is regular MEDITATION and DAILY CLEANSING

of the HEART in order to keep my MIND and SOUL balanced in the busy

lifestyle that I have chosen to lead.

I believe for me  that this has been the key answer to curing some

of my unhealthy habits enabling me to become mentally and physically a

more healthy and spiritual human being.

Of course each individual is different so the results from regular

practiced meditation is different. However the guaranteed outcome that

will be identical with everyone is that you will have a balance in your

material and spiritual existence.
