It is never too late

in fiction or in life

Do not like the "prose"

(or the cons!)

Beautiful!

You agree, I know you agree!

that beauty is the only thing

worth living for

To leave each soul you meet a little more peaceful

for knowing you

To bring beauty in words

To bring beauty to life

That is worth living for

And that's poetiquejustis

Lessons from a snowflake

No snowflake falls

in the wrong place

Zen Saying

You are

where you are

because that is where you need to be

to do what it is

you are supposed to be doing

you just need to find out what that is

every snowflake knows that

and now so do you

In Light of What We Love

Love must be a light 

as much as it is a flame

Thoreau

Love should see us through the dark times

It must be a light

Love should fuel our dreams

It must be a flame

In the words of Edna St Vincent Millay: 

My candle burns at both end

It will not last the night;

but ah, my foes

and ah my friends

It gives a lovely light

and that's poetiquejustis

let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

Matthew 5:16

That Ship Has Sailed

Bad memories can attach themselves

like barnacles to the hull of our life

Richard Paul Evans

The Mistletoe Promise

They come when you least expect them

As you are falling asleep

As you stare thoughtfully in to a cup of cappucino

The memories

like clips from a film noir

Where do they come from

Why now, when everything else is calm

Perhaps that is why they come

- because the sea of your soul 

is calm enough for you to hear them

and they must be heard

But you....you can sail on now

and leave them in your wake

and that's poetiquejustis

"For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; 

And the former things will not be remembered or come to mind."

It Is a First World Problem After All

Gratitude makes sense of our past

brings peace for today

and creates vision for tomorrow

Melody Beattie 

There are times when patience 

is not my strong suit

Red lights

Books that do not know when to end

these things bother me

But they also can teach me a lesson

This morning

 I was frustrated at how long

it was taking the water dispenser on my refrigerator

to fill my glass

Then I thought about these ladies

and these ladies

and these ladies

and I thought better of it

and that's poetiquejustis

Give thanks in all circumstances; 

for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

I Thessalonians 5:18

Bending "The Rule"

The Golden Rule is a  two-edged sword.

If some of us treated others as we treat ourselves

we would be jailed.

Richard Paul Evans

The Mistletoe Promise

Kindness begins at home

in your heart

You cannot know how to talk to others

If you do not know how to speak

to yourself

You do not know how to appreciate others

If you do now know how to appreciate yourself

You cannot get a meal from an empty cupboard

and you cannot get compassion

from an empty heart

 Fill up your heart with self- kindness

so you have enough to share.

Until you are good to you

you will have no odea

how to be good

to others

Practice!

and that's poetiquejustis

 Love your neighbor as yourself.

Matthew 22:39

Let the earth abound

An open home

an open heart

Here grows a bountiful harvest

Judy Hand

To plant the seeds of acceptance

To share the earth and  grow together

To produce the fruits of freedom

 that is worth being thankful for

and that's poetiquejustis

We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other.

Romans 12:5

Bulldozing Your Way Through Life

The need for change bulldozed a road

down the center of my mind

Maya Angelou

You just know something has to give

Something has to change with that pile of rubble in your life

The piles of promises, wishes and getting-ready-to -dos

have to go!

 so what are you waiting for?

 You have what it takes

and that's all it takes!

 So get  moving

and that's poetiquejustis

Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.

Deuteronomy 31:6
