Someone’s getting a crepe at the crepe shop on the street of Vancouver – the girl making the gigantic crepe says it’s her … first day on the job and … she’s practiced by making she thinks about 200 in the morning. Whhhat? Did I hear that right?200?Maybe 300, she smiles. Practice, practice if you want to get it right… it’s everywhere. The intention, the effort and then … repeat.
She seems a bit nervous with this one, intent that it not have a hole or a tear …needs a nice smooth even spread…
chocolate and fruit toppings – YUM:) Good Job, girl, smile:)
Produced with intentions to end hunger.
@UBC Botanical Garden…some apples covered with cheese cloth gauze, grown with intentions. There’s “energy” felt in the clean fresh air here.
Wouldn’t it be cool if there was a meaning, an intention to everything we did? (or would that make us go crazy, lol)
Wouldn’t that “intention” in our actions (or in this case, non-action) defog your muddled thoughts ?
Wouldn’t that bring back the “one-pointed” samurai sword like focus and direction?
No, not quite Sankalpa – not so grand – what I mean is, more of clear, calm, focus, devoid of distractions on things we do that appear to be just a natural progression of things we let happen. It’s no big deal. Almost a realm of not caring… the ordinary.
Precisely.
(Kaya, the American Girl doll, who “draws strength from stories and lessons of the elders” in the tribe …a definite choice for my inner child:)
I used to have long hair in my 20’s for wrong reasons and cut them when I was super busy to deal with the maintenance and this, because I wanted to do the gym and long hair was ikkey with all that sweating. Today it’s back to long – and I am not doing hot yoga anymore.
Today it’s long for a reason I may share someday …it’s not any holding your breath in anticipation kind of a reason.
Anyway, my sister is visiting and when she saw me in my long hair I have not fashioned for awhile she said:
“Oh, are you donating your hair to Locks of Love?”
me: “?”
She mentioned this organization and now I have a mission to grow my hair even longer!
My intention is to donate my hair when it’s long enough – for those with long hair, maybe you’d consider it too?
To have the hair length of 10 inches from tip to tip is pretty long… never had it so long so it’s kind of a challenge – feel like cutting it today so exercising patience. Donating blood makes me feel a bit too vertigo so here’s my other choice – I will just donate my long hair, when it’s time:) Measuring it!
Here’s the site for Locks of Hair – Click Here!
I have learned that it’s important to go to a salon that knows what’s needed so your hair would not be wasted – here’s an input from Yelp for SF area but I am sure there are local salons who can also help – when it’s time, I will seek help.
It’s a walking meditation.
So blessed to have a girlfriend who casually serves a lovely bowl of matcha whenever I barge in. Arigato:)
What a lovely idea to provide this opportunity for any student of life, to get-away, unplug and meditate in order that we can each take a piece of peace and tranquility pervading in this garden… to invite that calm within Self. Outside of the garden, there may be chaos, a turmoil, a storm … but enter this magical space; each of us have that garden within.
