Just some thoughts...

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

There Is No Stopping You, Is There?




Physical strength can never permanently withstand

the impact of spiritual force

FDR

A parent is up half the night with a sick baby


…and then goes off to work


A Marine carries his buddy to safety though the exhaustion overtook him five miles back


A writer rises before dawn and types and types never knowing

if the words will ever make a difference and then goes to her “real job”


It is the strength of spirit that keeps each going

It is a strength that does not come from those hours at the gym

It is a strength that comes from the solitude

Just you and what needs to be done

And the knowing

The knowing that this one thing in life must be done by you

And no one else

All those things- big and small

That no one ever sees

You go on.

... you just do it

No matter what

I think you are amazing

And that is poetiquejustis
