I have an idea, let us capture a moment in time

when nature was at its best

when the world was calm

when we thrived for peace

and not harm..

Lets bring in the New Year

with a cheer

and not a bomb

lets try to save this ideal

before its gone.. forever..

*

for those torn by war, I wish you no more hurt and harm

Peace for 2024 for all..

Spotted this while walking to the library. It reminded me of the peace out hand sign. I also liked the light and fence..

I composed this image during an extended road trip through Peace River Country, in northern Alberta, Canada. I found it to be a vast area, marked by stunning wilderness expanses, but also by forestry, farming and ranching operations and small towns that appear totally dependent upon Canada's energy industry.

 

The Peace River Country (or Peace Country is an aspen parkland region centring on the Peace River in Canada. It extends from northwestern Alberta to the Rocky Mountains in northeastern British Columbia. Major communities in the Alberta portion of the Peace Country include Grande Prairie, Peace River, High Level and Fairview. It has no fixed boundaries but covers some 260,000 to 390,000 km2.

 

The first European to explore the area was Sir Alexander MacKenzie, who travelled down the Peace in 1789 and eventually reached the Mackenzie River and the Arctic Ocean. In 1793 he used the same route to reach the Pacific Ocean.[ Subsequently, the region saw a surge in the fur trade, with forts built along the river from Fort Vermilion to Hudson's Hope.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the farming potential of the area was advertised by the federal government, but settlement was scarce because of difficult travel conditions through the muskeg. With the arrival of the railway in 1916, and following the opening of land for homesteaders in 1910, farming and ranching took off in the fertile Peace Country.

 

Forestry plays a large role in the Peace Country economy. Pulp mills were built in Chetwynd, Peace River and Grande Prairie beginning in the 1970s.

 

The economy received another boost when oil and gas were found in the region. In 1952, gas was struck in the Fort St. John No. 1 well, and the first refinery was built in 1957 at Taylor. The massive Elmworth natural gas field in northwestern Alberta was discovered in the mid-70s along with other major gas fields in British Columbia and Alberta. Both Fort St. John and Grande Prairie experienced rapid economic and population growth as a result.

To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one's own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.

Buddha

Be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let every new year find you a better man.

This is the first blossom on the Peace rose bush in my backyard. The plant struggled with blight and insects last year, in a prominent spot. I'll try various sprays on it this year.

Really one of the most important things about living in India is that one is overwhelmed about its colors... Here is the original version of the pic I posted the other day...

For the BAP assignment of the week "Fallen Leaves"

 

What are you going to do? You're going to quiet the mind. And what will happen? When the mind is quiet everything will happen by itself. The truth will come out of you. You will not have to

think about it. You will be aware of reality and you will find unalloyed happiness, great joy, a great peace, a great love and you will have a great compassion. And you will be kind to everything to insects, to animals, to humans, to minerals, everything is alive and you will have reverence for all things.

 

...

  

Just sit by yourself as much as you can. And watch your mind, watch your mind. Do whatever you have to do to slow down your

mind and then you're going to be amazed. You will laugh at yourself. For when the mind becomes quiescent, reality will rush in. And you'll see it's so simple, it’s so simple. Why didn't I know this all the time? I used to believe by reading volume after volume I'll become enlightened. But it was so easy, I just had to quiet my mind.

In the pleasant evening light the lady is selling tasty, home prepared food stuff to people walking along the girivalam path, i.e. the path around the Arunachala hill. Her view seems to rest on the holy hill which is to the left.

Mental health means getting along with the world, with others and with ourselves.
