Just some thoughts...

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

Life is More Than Living

 

Just living is not enough
One must have sunshine
freedom
and a little flower
Hans Christian Anderson
I saw a beautiful garden today
In a most unlikely place
Planted around the wall of a carwash
It was one of the loveliest gardens I have seen in a while
The sky was grey and so was my mood
But these  flowers were soft and colorful 
A contrast to the machines that roared behind them
and the thoughts that roared in my mind
When I stopped at a traffic light
and looked at those flowers
 everything in my day changed
Someone understood 
That there must be beauty 
if we are to make it through each day
And I just wanted to say thank you to that unknown gardener
and wish everyone 
 sunshine
freedom
and a little flower 
in their day
And that's poetiquejustis
Consider the lilies, how they grow:
 they neither toil nor spin; but I tell you, 
not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these. 
 Luke 12:27
