Limits?

It has never been natural for me to deviate from the facts of anything before me

Norman Rockwell

Look me in the eye

Stand before me- toe to toe

Put out your hand and give me a shake

 Now that wasn't so bad, was it?

Hello...I am who you have been

afraid to be

I am what you never thought you could do

I am what you never made time for

I am who you never thought you had in you.

Well.... here I am

Been here all the time

Just waiting for you

and now that we have met- 

let's go live some life together!

 

Einstein said:

 Once we accept our limits, we go beyond them.

Limits?

Accepted.

Now- go!

and that's poetiquejustis

Well done, good and faithful servant. 

You have been faithful in a few things

I will put you in charge of many.

Matthew 25:23

 

A Song for the Future

I am about to sing the song for the future

Stephanie Mills

I am taking a deep breath

I am looking the sun squarely in the eye

I am raising my hand in salute to all that is before me

I am bowing my head  for all that is behind me

And now...

I will sing

For my heart shall not forget the melody

of what is meant to be
What will be
What must be

For I know that it lives in the here and now

and that's poetiquejustis

Know also that wisdom is like honey for you:
    If you find it, there is a future hope for you,
    and your hope will not be cut off.
Proverbs 14:14

Giving Life to Life

“God gave us the gift of life;

 it is up to us to give ourselves the gift of living well.” 

Voltaire

 giving

giving life

giving life to every day

and allowing every day

to return the favor in a thousand tiny ways

that is living

and that is poetiquejustis

 Do not boast about tomorrow,
for you do not know what a day may bring forth.

Proverbs 27:1

That Spark

You are only given one little spark of madness

you mustn't lose it

Robin Williams

Money...it comes and goes

Friends....

Fame....

Beauty....

You cannot hang on to these

But that little flicker of genius

That spark of poetic madness that is in us all

Never, ever let that go

Because that is the spark 

That makes all else

glow with life

and that's poetiquejustis

Believe in the light while you have the light, 

so that you may become children of light.

John 12:36

Sunny with a Chance of Happy

The sun always wins.

Bruce Drown

I live at the beach

And those pictures you see of  our sunny Southern California mornings

Exist only in the mind of some PR firm in Manhattan

Our mornings are usually "socked in"..".marine layered"...

And all the other other mariner euphemisms for dull, stubborn grey,

But we bear with it because eventually...

The sun is going to win

The sun comes bursting through the clouds with all the drama of an action hero

The sky instantly submits to being blue

And we forget that the clouds were ever here.

Today- if things seem a little cloudy and grey in your worle

Remember-

The sun always wins.

and that's poetiquejustis

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

Genesis 1:3

Day of Discovery

You have to discover what you do and trust it

B. Streisand

I am a .......

Go ahead- fill in the blank

I am good at

Go ahead- shout it out!

Only you know the answer

Today

Discover

Uncover

Trust!

and that's poetiquejustis

Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you,

 in order to bring praise to God.

Romans 15:7

A Harvest of Hope

Gardening is an exercise

in optimism

Maria Schinz

You have to keep an eye on any garden 

for weeds 

and visitors

How much more so

The garden of you soul

Yank bitterness out by the roots!

Weed out the unkind thoughts

Leave the rest to grow

in the sunshine of your smile

and that's poetiquejustis

And they heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden 

in the cool of the day

Genesis 3:8

Hope More- Fear Less

 A strong mind always hopes 

and always has cause to hope.

Thomas Carlyle

Hope

Victor Frankl tells us loss of hope

is harder to overcome than loss of the material

Hope

It is that belief of Annie's in the sun coming up

Hope

It is what gets us out of bed

It keeps us searching for answers

Keeps us believing in our dreams

Hope is the greatest gift we can give to the day

And that the day can give us in return

Hope

is what I hope for you

today

and that's is poetiquejustis

A strong mind always hopes, and has always cause to hope.
