It got me thinking

I need to learn every day

Judi Dench

Recently, my son got me a wrist band

that tells me 

what I ate, how many

steps I walk 

and even how well I slept

 It got me thinking...

We count our calories

We take care to sleep

We may even hit the road a bit

But do we keep track each day

of what we learned?

 

Churchill said he was always ready to learn

though now always happy about being taught

Fair enough

and that's poetiquejustis

Let the wise hear and increase in learning, 

and the one who understands obtain guidance 

Proverbs 1:5

Stayng on Course

To be disciplined is to be free

J C Penney

To be able to catch the wind of change

because you looked ahead

To be able to follow the road ahead

because you learned the way

To arrive at your destination

because you made the journey

To do all this 

because you did what you had to do

And  you did what needed to be done

That is  a disciplined life

And that's poetiquejustis

For their command is a lamp and their instruction a light; 

their corrective discipline is the way to life.

Proverbs 6:23

Doubtful?

I wasn't really raised to be the type of person

to have doubts

John Malkovich

You cannot believe everything you hear

You cannot believe everything you read

You cannot even believe everything you see

But you certainly can 

(without a doubt)

believe in yourself

and that's poetiquejustis

Inspiration ...It is not for everyone

I refuse to make 

uninspired music

Ben Harper

It is said that inspiration is everywhere

True....

But you have to have an aspiration

A desire to be part of the creation

A need to see a revelation

Before you can live in the place

of inspiration

At least that's been my observation

and that's poetiquejustis

and that's poetiquejustis

                    All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives.
It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right.
                                     2 Timothy 3:16

Take it with you

If we cannot find tranquility in ourselves,

it is useless to seek it elsewhere

Francois De La Rochefoucald

 A day at the beach helps

A week in the mountain refreshes

A stroll at sunset

Greeting the dawn

all moments in time

of tranquility

Tranquility 

can be for a moment

Or it can follow you 

wherever you go

Wordsworth said

 poetry is simply 

a recollection of tranquility

May all your tomorrows be days

when you can recall yesterday

as a day of tranquility

and that's poetiquejustis

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

John 14:27

The Latest and Greatest

Time is a dressmaker

specializing in alterations

Faith Baldwin

Time changes everything

 

from fences

To faces

But those things you do for others

 

 

 

Those things you do out of kindness

for your fellow man

 

 

over time

 

 

age well

 

and that's poetiquejustis

 Bear one each others burdens,

 and so fulfill the law of Christ.

Galatians 6:2

Going My Way?

The road to success

is always under construction

Lily Tomlin

Just when you get ready to hit the road to success

You start seeing signs

and you think they all mean

Not so!

It just means
you have some work ahead of you!

 Sure-

There are things that may slow you down

But when you are on the road to success

*

Everything is useful 

Like knowing when to give others the "right of way" 

Or just learning to share the road

Remember:

Not every sign along the road to success means "STOP"

So, when you hit a bump

 just put your best foot forward

and enjoy those you meet along the way

Because you are all headed

in the same direction

and that's poetiquejustis
