Don't Keep It To Yourself!

Seneca said:

There is no delight in owning anything

unshared

Share...one of the first lessons we teach our children

Share the love

Share the wisdom

Share the memories

Share the ideas

 Share the day

Share the night

Lindsay Wagner said:

 It's about sharing. 

You just give what you have to give wherever you go, 

and you let God handle the rest.

Sharing....

Everyone is doing it.....

so go...share

you have so much to give!

Remember this--a farmer who plants only a few seeds will get a small crop.

 But the one who plants generously will get a generous crop.

2 Corinthians 9:6

Illustrious Illusions of Life

Therefore trust to thy heart, and to what the world calls illusions.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Don't be afraid

 Follow your heart

Paint your world with all those things that only your heart knows are real

Illustrate your life

With the illusions of your heart

And your life will be real

And your life will be art

and that's poetiquejustis

I Corinthians 2:9 

But as it is written: 

"Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, 

Nor have entered into the heart of man 

The things which God has prepared

 for those who love Him".

The Pane of Opportunity

If a window of opportunity appears, 

 

don't pull down the shade.  

Tom Peters

Remember when life was about the newness of it all?

When the sky was the limit

And it was always within reach?

The windows are still there

Opportunity is still waiting....Just draw back the curtains that time has put in place and you will see!

Jon Bon Jovi said

Don't get too comfortable with who you are at any given time - you may miss the opportunity to become who you want to be.

and that's poetiquejustis

Wait and hope for and expect the Lord; be brave and of good courage 

and let your heart be stout and enduring. 

Yes, wait for and hope for and expect the Lord.

Psalm 27:4

Heal!

Healing is a moral thing to do.

Jay Inslee 

Heal:from the Old English  hælan " to cure; save; make whole, sound and well"

 

People need to heal

 

Countries need heal

 

 Hearts need to heal

Memories need to heal

Healing takes time

Peter Seller once said:

Let us learn to appreciate there will be times when the trees 
will be bare, 

and look forward to the time when we may pick the fruit

 Healing takes time

Take some...it is free 

and that's poetiquejustis

 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven

Ecclesiastes 3:1 

A Ring a Ding Ding

Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky,

The flying cloud, the frosty light...

Alfred Lord Tennyson

"There are the bells, Mom, I have to get to work...talk to you tomorrow."

Our son and his wife live in a lovely seaside town whose life is regulated by the Church bells in the heart of the village. Each day at nine am the town puts down their cups at the local coffee house and heads in to their day.

Bells....

How like people bells can be....

 They are some that are deep and sonorous, and yet never seem to intrude

There are those who only seem to ring out their joy sparingly

 And others whose love of life rings across the fields

There are those who seem to have a pompous ring

and those that are just rather alarming

Oscar Hammerstein II said:

A bell's not a bell 'til you ring it, 

 

A song's not a song 'til you sing it, 

Love in your heart wasn't put there to stay,

Love isn't love until you give it away

and that's poetiquejustis

If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal.

I Corinthians 13:1

Drifting

What can we gain by sailing to the moon if we are not able to cross the abyss that separates us from ourselves?

Thomas Merton

by all means-

Navigate!

Trim the sails!

Chart your course!

But there comes a time when you need to loose the ropes

And simply drift

To see upon what shores your unfettered mind will land

 

 

Perhaps you will be surprised at who you find there...perhaps it will be you

And you will have a friend for the future voyage

and that's poetiquejustis

The wind blows to the south and goes around to the north; around and around goes the wind, 

and on its circuits the wind returns. 

All streams run to the sea, but the sea is not full; 

to the place where the streams flow, there they flow again.   Ecclesiastes 1:6-7
