Just some thoughts...

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

Stop, Look, Learn

 

To learn by observing others...
Mary Catherine Bateson


My dad was fond of saying
"If you are talking,  
 
you are not learning."

He was right, of course.
He often was.


And there is a time to be silent.

To observe and reflect
To gather strength


To  weigh what you see and hear
                                                            Doing so is responsible and good.


But once we have taken it all in

 and see that there are things that just are not right
                                                       Then, silence is no longer a virtue
                                                               and that's poetiquejustis
                                        
                                        Take no part in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness;
instead, expose them
   Ephesians 5:11
