Just some thoughts...

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

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"    
and that's poetiquejustis
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
 
and that's poetiquejustis
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
