It Can't Rain All The Time 

"Sometimes you can barely tell the difference 
between darkness and light.
Do you have faith 
in what we believe?
The truest test is when we cannot, 
when we cannot see"

Jane Siberry - It Can't Rain All The Time (Lyrics)

*Tear Love From My Mind* 

Every word you trusted, did i lie to you?
Am i the one to destroy everything?
I the one you place your faith in?

Tear me down
Tear me down
Tear love from my mind

Tear through the lies that mask my eyes, that deceive me
Tear through the hungry ghost that lingers to feed on me.

Empty me
Empty me

Every word you trusted now i question.
Every word I understood now disobeys.

How can i leave when you love me?
How can i leave when everything is so clear?

*And We Shall Be Together*

but i don't see and I don't
feel but tightly hold up silently my hands
before my fading eyes and in my eyes your smile
the very last thing before I go...

Ten years today... Never forgotten... Forever missed.  ♥

*Wandering Soul*

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

William Wordsworth

Wishing everyone a dreamy Tuesday.  ♥

*Why Complicate a Simple Thing*

I found this beautiful stone while walking on the beach near my home. It was there, standing itself apart from the norm of all the others around it, bringing beauty to an otherwise bland shore. 

Looking at this photo this morning got me thinking of how most of us are quick to judge people based on their looks; be it the clothes they are wearing, the colour of their skin, their accent, their manners and so on... It’s not easy not to pass judgment on others even if it is only a thought.  

That’s something we should strive to eradicate completely… all the time and every day we should make an effort to accept and appreciate difference. Why complicate a simple thing when ultimately we all want the same things? 

Wishing a beautiful week to all.  ♥

*Timelessness* 

So I find words I never thought to speak
In streets I never thought I should revisit
When I left my body on a distant shore

Enlightenment 

“Every day, think as you wake up, today I am fortunate to be alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, to expand my heart out to others; to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. I am going to have kind thoughts towards others, I am not going to get angry or think badly about others. I am going to benefit others as much as I can.” 

His Holiness the Dalai Lama

Always extremely challenging to go by these words but important to remember them and do our best every day to achieve it....

The background on this photo reminds me of one of my favourite albums, so here's some soundtrack to go with it:

Hi Everyone,

Hope you're all having a great Friday and wonderful year so far.  :)  

I'm sharing today my selection for the #plusonecollection2012 . It wasn't an easy pick but ultimately I think this photo is the one that spoke to me the most for everything that it represents. The fact that it was dedicated to my dearest friend and kindred spirit +Lee Daniels, me noticing the sakura flowers for the first time in over a decade and the realization of where I wanted to go while remaining focused on the road immediately ahead... 

The year that has passed was a challenging one, to me and so many others. I believe that we're all going through these obstacles so that we can see things clearly and grow to achieve better things. 

Let's make a difference and with small gestures let's change the world!

*Red-Whiskered Bulbul* 

To start the New Year, I've chosen to share my favourite picture of this beautiful bird that I captured while on Mauritius last year. 

Now that the holidays are over and a new year has begun, I hope that this year will see happier times for all those that have been struggling for so long. 

Here's to a beautiful year and the fulfillment of many goals & dreams.

*Shattered Dreams (A Million Tears Left Behind…)*

Exactly one year to this date I was flying high… Memories of a recurring dream from my childhood filled my mind. The grass was greener and my spirit soared higher and higher with each passing day that brought me closer to my dream trip. The people around me, nature itself, the whole world seemed brighter and lighter. The prospect of things to come was a beautiful one…

The trip came and went in a blink of an eye… Along the way there were some minor hiccups but I also found answers to questions I didn’t even know I had left unanswered through the years; suddenly all seemed worthwhile. It was the end of January 2012 and I was so happy to share this newfound knowledge with many of my friends. 

I close my eyes and the end of February arrives with signs of things to come… I become ill with a condition thatremained a m... more »

The Things I Have Seen...

Made me question: are we too blind to see? ... 

A bird flew into a window, banging hard against it while several people walked by and did nothing… 

A man in a wheelchair asking passersby to assist in opening and holding a door while no one bothered to stop… 

An elderly woman carrying a huge bag down the stairs and again, everyone too oblivious to offer help...

Then I saw a homeless man watch a squirrel take away a piece of his bread… For a moment he stood there and I continued to observe his reaction, feeling tense with his stillness as the seconds passed by… Suddenly he smiled and let out a “hey there, buddy – are you hungry?” while giving away another piece of his bread. 

The whole world has been made again.  ♥

*Hope*

Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul
And sings the tunes without the words
And never stops at all

And sweetest in the Gale is heard
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm

I've heard it in the chillest land
And on the strangest Sea
Yet,never, in Extrimity
It asked a crum of Me

*It’s a Magical World*

On my short walk from the spot where I lock my bike to the office I noticed many sparrows enjoying a feast. Someone had left them lots of grains and their chirping and movement exuded so much happiness... I was five minutes late and rushed by the scene when suddenly something clicked and I decided to make a turn and sit by them. I sat down and as my breathing slowed I started to notice all the small details around me... The gratification of that moment is carrying over throughout the day.

With the advancement of technology one would expect that our daily lives would slow down and we would have more time for the simple things. The opposite seems to be happening and I find it bothersome how much time we are constantly spending trying to get more things done. It’s a rush, rush, rush world but regardless of what your beliefs are; this lifetime isyou... more »

*Never Alone*

Never Alone,

Sometimes life brings us to a crossroad where all directions seem to lead us towards sadness. No matter which direction we face the common ground between the roads presented to us is of bleakness.

The combined strength of heart and mind doesn’t seem to suffice… Standing still doesn’t suffice… Moving, whichever way, feels wrong… What is left? What to do?

Unsure of the answer we close our eyes… and just like that we are floating like leaves through the brisk air of fall. Drifting away from things, drifting away from the troubles in our lives. 

Suddenly; we open our eyes and realize that throughout this journey we were never alone…  we never are... Never doubt that.

*Summertime Sadness* 

One of my favourite pastimes as a child was to swing higher & higher. I’d close my eyes at the bottom and open them when at the top, giving me the feeling that I was flying The dream of flying followed me through most of my childhood (and I’d say that it still is with me) and one time it almost all ended tragically when I had the brilliant idea of wrapping bed sheets around my neck and hopped onto my window; my mother caught me right on time...  :D

This week I was reminded of how frail life is and how fast our passage in this world truly is. It is inevitable that when things go up they will eventually come down. Yet I refuse to allow this knowledge to keep me down as I know that one day, when I suddenly open my eyes again, I’ll have reached new heights. 

As the seasons have come and gone, flowers withered and bloomed. Old life gaveway to n... more »

It was April of 2012… there & then I noticed for the first time the Sakura tree blossom. So much was uncertain at that point in my life and different challenges were being presented to me. Time has passed, the challenges remain but the difference is that the path is now clear. I envision the destination while remaining focused on the path immediately ahead of me. 

I shared three photos of the sakura flower and kept this one until now. It’s my favourite and I share it while saying goodbye to season’s end… 

Dedicated to my dearest friend and kindred spirit +Lee Daniels

Thievius is back!!! 

Actually the little monster never left and because of him I had to endure many sleepless nights since I couldn’t keep the windows open any longer. 

Ever since the first break in a few weeks ago, he’s been seen surrounding the house. I caught him crossing the street, walking around the courtyard, under a car… It seems that everywhere I go he’s there! 

As a protective father that I am to Mishka, I tried to reason and talk Coco to understand she wasn’t interested. I also explained that it wouldn’t be by breaking in, eating her food, making a mess of the house, that he would find the way to her heart. He’s got a temper that one, I tell you!  :D  Immediately after I finished saying these words he changed his cute behaviour and this photo if proof of the real him (see +Sharon Jeannette ? Not as cute and innocent as youthought, uh?)

Happy Friday everyone! 

The mind is a beautiful thing, isn't it? I woke up this morning feeling agitated. The agitation turned into exhaustion, that turned into being hyper and finally peacefulness. 

There was a strong and cool headwind on my bike ride to work this morning. It made me realize that summer soon will be over... Suddenly while riding past the only church I visit here in Toronto a song came to mind and with it the explanation for so many strong feelings this morning... 

I thought of our +Lee Daniels and remembered that it's been a while since I last publicly shared some love and happy thoughts for her.  

This photo, despite its dark tones, seemed a good fit for its cheerful and hopeful lights that seem to shine from above. Lee, may these lights continue to give you strength and surround you with love. ♥

Wanted: Thievius Raccoonus a.k.a "Coco Le Beau"
   
I know that I posted something two days ago saying that I wasn’t sure when and if I would come back to G+... What I meant was in a full time capacity as the earlier days of G+ from last year. I'll post and mostly run until things settle down in my life.

Anyway, I had to come back today to share a mug shot of this little guy. He’s responsible for a series of break in and enters in my neighbourhood and seems to have acquired a taste for Nespresso capsules… -_-   Two weeks ago he left a mess in my house, only making the mistake of leaving his paw prints in the screen window (along with teeth marks all over, broken vases, a bent screen window...)

Anyway, two days after the incident I was able to confront him (refer to attached picture) and was greeted with utter denial...He smart... more »

*What do you see?* 

As far as my memory goes I remember seeing “things”: in every face I crossed paths with, in each tree at dusk, in all the stars in the sky.  With eyes wide open in the brightest of days and with eyes shut tight in the darkest of nights: “they” were always there. 

So much time has passed that I forgot that I continue to see these “things” or rather that "they" have never left me and like so much around us all that was needed was for me to slow down… to take a deep breath and remember to appreciate it.

If you are curious about these “things” that I speak of, they are small transparent shapes that appear to float in front of my eyes, like a three dimensional image. They are there, no matter what I do: if I have my eyes open or not, if I wear sunglasses, if I’m underwater... Now, I’ve discussed this with many people duringmy lifetime and since more »

*Hope Was* 

Super Moon of 2011… It was the sharing of a photo of this beautiful moment that got me into G+. So much happened last year and with the wonderful moments came the inevitable downfalls… Still 2011 was a very good year and one that I have many fond memories. 

Fast forward to the Super Moon of 2012 and when I look at this photo now everything seems like a blur. I have been living my days without knowledge of time, despite the fact that I’m surrounded by clocks, watches, deadlines and people reminding me what day of the month it is… 

There’s so much happening right now that I sometimes question what reality is and what my imagination is…  I wake up at hours that I should have been sleeping and I sleep during hours that I should be awake; or should I? Still, there’s no consistency to these events. There’s no apparent trigger to them and thishelps with the gene... more »

*To Put Things into Perspective*

This morning, while watching my favourite show, the above thought came to my mind… 

It is easy to forget about others and the challenges they might be facing whenever we get caught up in our own challenges. Is it selfishness? Is it survival and self-preservation? Or is all part of the growing process?... 

Life this year has been far from what I had expected and anticipated it to be; my illness that started in late February was just the beginning of many more challenges and much more difficult times ahead. It hasn’t been a good year by any standards but here and there I’m reminded that things could be much worse (and I feel blessed and thankful for that!).

Inevitably there is *always* someone, somewhere who is having a tougher time; someone is in need of a smile, a hug, a thank you and words of kindness…Share it ... more »

Have you met +tania sonnenfeld? No? Me too!  :P   But a while back I did stumble upon her amazing profile picture and decided to check her page.

It was an interesting post about a pigeon stalker that gave me an idea of what to expect (along with said profile picture). My first thoughts weren’t wrong and ever since we’ve become good friends. 

I “promised” to share this photo a while back because it reminded me so much of her.  :D  Circumstances have kept me away until now and my time is limited on G+ but I didn’t want to wait another week.  ♥

Where has time gone? Fortunately, the feeling that time is vanishing in thin air brought me to another Friday on yet another eventful week... 

How much things have changed since this photo was taken back in January. It's no wisdom and should come as no surprise, but I still find myself amazed on how much life can challenge and test us when we least expect... That's what makes it so hard sometimes... but definitely makes it all even more worthwhile.

I dedicate this photo and post to a dear friend of mine (and to so many others here on G+) in +Ada M.   ♥

Well... that's not really it but... you can't deny that's some important announcement!  :D 

Anyway, starting this CATURDAY there'll be some changes to how things work around here.

Ménière's disease (so this is it: a fancy name for a fancy disease!) :D

Not exactly the news I was expecting and hoping for but certainly much better than the “what could have been”. 

When discussing the disease with the ENT and reading lots about it later on, I realized that the diagnosis was spot on and that all the what ifs scenarios mattered less than ever before. Apparently the causes are unknown and the cure is unknown (or simply put: there’s no “cure”). But much like the causes and cure (or lack of), the frequency of the disease happening is also unknown: some people will experience it once in their lifetime, others will have it several times a year and others will be caught in between. Some will suffer through the symptoms for short periods of time and others will have to struggle and go through them for several weeks at a time… When put in perspectivethough it’s ju... more »

 *Atemporal*

Looking at this photo made me realize once again how brief our passage is in this world and in this lifetime… So much has happened since this photo was taken and despite the feeling that it was just yesterday my body and mind know better. 

As some of you have noticed I’ve been away from G+ for some time; it wasn’t planned and I certainly didn’t intend it to be that way. It simply happened.

My life has been turned upside down since the tests I did a couple of weeks ago. While not all symptoms came back, the ones that did were enough to bring me to a halt. Despite my best efforts to continue doing everything as before it was inevitable that something would had to give; this something was my time here and on the internet in general. Between the dizziness, the ear and eye pain, the headaches, looking at a computer, tablet or even phone became anunnecessa... more »

For +Lee Daniels

"I call the light and high aspects of my being spirit and the dark and heavy aspects soul.

Soul is at home in the deep, shaded valleys. Heavy torpid flowers saturated with black grow there. The rivers flow like warm syrup. They empty into huge oceans of soul.

Spirit is a land of high white peaks and glittering jewel-like lakes and flowers. Life is sparse and sounds travel great distances.

There is soul music, soul food, and soul love...

People need to climb the mountain not simple because it is there but because the soulful divinity needs to be mated with the spirit."

His Holiness the Dalai Lama

My dearest Lee... We are all alongside you on this journey.

A call out to kindness

There are many things I need to be thankful for this year. One of those is the amazing list of friends and opportunities that I've been gifted with by being part of this community. Friends like +Lee Daniels, photographer, co-curator of #womenwednesday and as of last week, a lung cancer patient. Lee's battle has just begun and as you can imagine she will need some support. I have setup a website to help with the fundraising. Visit:

http://hashtagcure.org

You may help Lee directly by using the donate button on the upper right hand side of the page. You may also grab one of the fundraising t-shirts that have the site's logo and Lee's name. All proceeds will go to help Lee down the uphill road she has ahead.

Remember there's no worse than doing nothing because you can only do a little. Every last bit helps...

*More tests??? Cheers to all that!*

I'm off this afternoon to the hospital to get more tests in the continuous drama to attempt and discover what's wrong with me. While some of you might be thinking that I'm a lost cause (rightly so, I might add!) :D I have to do these tests in hopes to finally get some answers and peace of mind.

I'll probably be offline starting this afternoon and hope to be back on Friday.

For +Lee Daniels

I slept well last night... I usually don't remember my dreams and this night was no exception. But I know that they were good as I woke up feeling a sense of calm and happiness that I haven't felt in a long time.

It was 5.30 when I got up and without any hesitation I knew I needed to take my camera and walk down to the lake. It didn't take me long to understand why I was there: you were there, Lee. I saw you and saw everyone else who loves you and is alongside you on this journey.

Once again you were showing us the way but this time around, we were all there: surrounding and nurturing you with our thoughts, our energy, our prayers, our love and our light.

I love you... We love you

Good morning Everyone and happy CATURDAY!
I'm off to a slow start and I blame it on a few things:

It's CATURDAY which demands laziness!
I'm not getting many notifications! ("thanks" G+!)
I'm rusty after a long nap hiatus due to my illness.

Bare with us and it'll get better: I promise!

A re-share of HRH Mishka doing what she does best! :D
