Just some thoughts...

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

Never Without Within

 

The world around us would be desolate
except for the world within. Wallace Stevens


Corrie Ten Boom spoke of being forced to stand for hours in the cold
of the prison camp with hatred and death all around her

One morning, a bird flew overhead and cheered her


She inwardly took flight

Today, the world may show itself

to be less than kind 
Take flight!
 
Look up and within

There you are!
And no one can take that away.
Peace be with you
 
and that's poetiquejustis

And the dove returned to Noah as the waters receded
carrying a fresh olive branch. Genesis 8
