Outlines

Color in certain places has the great value of making the outlines and structural planes 

seem more energetic.

Antonio Gaudi

There are days when you can feel that you are fading

Simply blending in to the background of life

and other people's agendas

A dot on life's illustrated version

 

No!

Refuse to fade!

 Leave the shadows behind

 

 

Find your place in the sun

Find your light

and shine

and that's poetiquejustis

And God said: Let there be light, and there was light.

Genesis 1:3

Needs

Men can starve from a lack of self realization

as much as they can starve from a lack of bread.

Richard Wright

The soul hungers

The mind becomes gaunt

The spirit withers away

Unless you take the time to nourish your whole being

The best nourishment to do that?

When you realize that that what matters

is making certain others

have what they need.

And that's poetiquejustis

 In those days, when again a great crowd had gathered, and they had nothing to eat, He called his disciples to him and said to them, “I have compassion on the crowd, because they have been with me now three days and have nothing to eat. And if I send them away hungry to their homes, they will faint on the way. And some of them have come from far away.” Mark 8:1-3

Men can starve from a lack of self-realization as much as they can from a lack of bread.

Hard to Beat...

It's hard to beat a person who never gives up

Babe Ruth

The only real defeat is self defeat

The moment when you say "it's over"

"I am done"

"I quit"

It does not matter what the referee says

In your heart, you are the only one than can call the game off

And if you do not

You may have lost in the eyes of the world, 

But you and I know that you are just resting up for your next turn at bat

and that's poetiquejustis

Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. 

They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. 

I Corinthians 9:25

The necessities

If we do what is necessary, all the odds are in our favor. 

 Charles Buxton

I have a lot to do, so I have been thinking about doing what is necessary

It comes from the Latin neccesarious:  unavoidable, indispensable

But what makes it "unavoidable, indispensable"?

How do you define "necessary"?

Doing what is necessary to pay the bills?

Doing what is necessary to get the job done?

 To live a balanced life?

Is all that necessary?

Oh, dear...I believe it is.....

Winston Churchill said:

"It is no use saying, 'We are doing our best.' 

                                    You have got to succeed in doing what is necessary".

Living life well....seems it is a necessity

and that's poetiquejustis 

But everything should be done in a fitting and orderly way. I Corinthians 14:40

 

Optimal!

Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement

Helen Keller

Opti...a prefix meaning sight or vision

Optimism....to dwell upon the most hopeful aspect

Optimistic...to expect the best possible outcome

Optimist....you

and that is poetiquejustis

 Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.

 Romans 12:12

Everything in its place

If we will be quiet and ready enough

we will find compensation 

in every disappointment

                                                       H. D. Thoreau

                                        "When the dog bites
                                     when the bee stings...."
                            When life seems to be going nowhere

                                                      Listen
                                         Be very still and just listen
                                                                         

                                           And you will hear
                                              everything start

                                                to fall in to place
                                             and that's poetiquejustis

And we know that for those who love 

God all things work together for good,

 for those who are called according to his purpose. 

                                               Romans 8:2

Gardens

In search of my mother's garden, I found my own

Alice Walker

I could never hope to understand 

how my mother's life garden grew

 

Thanks to her, my advantages and worldview

were quite different than that girl born in Brooklyn

A search for a garden of my own

A garden of thoughts

A garden of hopes

A garden of dreams

A garden of happily ever afters

And a garden of  things that were more wonderful

than I could believe

A garden  of my own

Planted with seeds from those who went before

To leave to those who will follow

 That is how a garden grows from generation to generation

and that is poetiquejustis

The LORD will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.

Isaiah 58:11
