Just some thoughts...

Every day, as I write Poetiquejustis, I pray it will be a blessing to someone.
Today, I hope it is you.

Dive In!



Life is supposed to be a romantic adventure

Sarah Ban Breathnach

Recently, one of our sons discovered the world of snorkeling

He spends hours each week beneath the ocean’s surface observing the life that abides there

The beauty, the danger and the ever changing landscape

He sees the ocean differently now

He has experienced its life, you might say, at a deeper level

He has gone beneath the surface.

Others sit upon the beach and enjoy the sand and the sun and the pleasant breeze

They have no intimacy with the universe that is only a few feet away

There are universes beneath the surface all around us.

In the eyes of a stranger or the unspoken dreams of those we know well

There are worlds we have not entered because we are waiting for the right time
or more courage

What is waiting for you- just beneath the surface?

Today you will go to work, or the store, or to school

and you can walk along the shore of life

or you can dive in and see

what's beneath the surface

and that's poetiquejustis
