Winging It

Necessity is the mother of taking chances

Mark Twain

Today I met a hummingbird

He hovered by my face

Wings beating the air with frantic grace

And he bid me follow

He waited there as long as he could

He wished me no ill and only good

And he bid me follow

But I stood rooted like a tree

Afraid to move - afraid to see

What might be there if I agreed

To follow

And so with one last fleeting glance

He rose in the air and with him my chance

To follow.....

Perhaps he will find me again

and time and duty will tell me when

to follow

And I will soar with graceful ease

and the hummingbird will say

"now if you please....

follow"

But as to the suitable times and the precise seasons and dates, brethren, you have no necessity for anything being written to you.

I Thessalonians 5:1

Turn, turn, turn

A bend in the road is not the end of the road 

unless you fail to make the turn

Unknown Author

 

What looks like a dead end

is really

New beginnings

Road blocks?

Just a detour

End of the road?

Start of a new life

 Go...

Make the turn

This is what the LORD says: "Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls....."

Jeremiah 6:16

Dark Thoughts?

Thinking dark thoughts was unappealing

Thinking dark chocolate thoughts was vastly better

Diana Mott Davidson

Thoughts

Keep them sweet

Keep them smooth

Or keep them under wraps

I mean there is no sense in making a mess of everything, right?

and that's poetiquejustis

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--

think about such things.

Philippians 4:8 

Hold that thought!!

In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts: they come back to us with a certain alienated majesty

R W Emerson

It flutters by

A thought

Intuition?

 Your destiny?

Why did you not reach out to it?

Take flight with it?

         It is a new day

Watch  and  Listen    

 Perhaps it will light again

And this time you will be ready!

and that's poetiquejustis 

                                       But someone will say, “You have faith; I have deeds.”
                   Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds.
                                                                      James 2:18

Go there!

I am always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it.

Picasso

Repetition

Great when you are exercising

Not so great when you want an interesting life

Routine is not bad

it is a route, and knowing the route is good

Just change the route occasionally

The Land of "I have never done this before" 

is a very exciting place to be!

Go there

and that's poetiquejustis

Psalm 18:36 “You gave a wide place for my steps under me, and my feet did not slip.”

Not looking for a cure

 I am an un-healable positive optimist

Andre Rieu

There is no cure

There are no meds

There is no presecription

You are just going to have to suffer with the symptoms

Of a light heart

A sunny smile

And a hopeful future

 You can live with that!

And that's poetiquejustis

                                       Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again--rejoice!
                                                                    Philippians 4:4

Take a Walk!

No road is long with good company

Turkish Proverb

Your thoughts

A book

A four footed friend

Your memories

Your hopes

For what's around that bend

All good companions on the road of life
so put it down

and take a walk

and that's poetiquejustis

"Arise, walk about the land through its length and breadth; for I will give it to you"

Genesis 13:17

Two-fer

"How we need another soul to cling to." Sylvia Plath

A hand to hold

A mind to meet

A laugh to share

A pleasant secret to keep

 Everybody needs somebody

You can be somebody to someone today

and that's poetiquejustis

  Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor:

  If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up.  Ecclesiastes 4:9
