Light It Up

Light is the symbol of truth

James Russell Lowell

Day-break  in a city

day-break in the forest

Day-break in soul

When the light of day breaks forths

That which has kept the world in darkness must let go

Today- let the day-break in to your life

and the darkness will let go

and that's poetiquejustis

I have come in to the world as Light so that no one who believes in Me should stay in darkness.

John 12: 46

Lose the Logic...for Today

Pure logic is the ruin of the spirit

Antoine de Saint Exupery

Logic has its place

 so keep it in its place!

Today.....

Indulge in a whim

Dream of a scheme

Slide down a rainbow

You have been grown up enough for one week-

go on- 

Have a giggle!

and that's poetiquejustis

He will yet fill your mouth with laughter, and your lips with shouting. 

Job8:22

The Next Wave

"Everything about him was old except his eyes 

and they were the same color as the sea 

and were cheerful and undefeated"

E. Hemingway

The Old Man and the Sea

Walking along the beach

and I saw a very old man leaning on his cane

watching the young guys surfing

He was still- very still

and the morning breeze seemed to simply  move around him

so as not to disturb his thoughts

Was he seeing the waves he had caught,

or those he had missed?

The things that he had accomplished

or those he had left undone?

Or was he looking beyond the horizon 

for the next wave of his life-

young once more?

I could not help but wonder

and that's poetiquejustis 

"And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions"

Joel 2:28

Take the Stage

"Acting should be bigger than life.

Scripts should be bigger than life. It should all be bigger than life."

 

An act of generosity

An act of selflessness

An act of quiet heroism

An act of love

An act of faith

An act of hope

An act of contrition

An act of gratitude

One little act after the other

And before you know it

       You have the performance of a lifetime

and that's poetiquejustis

" I have come that they may have life,

and have it to the full. "

John 10:10

There's a Kind of Hush

Create degrees of silence

Don DeLillo

All silences are not created equal

There is silence

and there is silence

There is the hush of dawn

And the thundering silence of a lonely night

Claude Debussy said

Music is the silence between notes

Choose your silence well

it is the melody of your life

and that's poetiquejustis

            And after the earthquake a fire; but the Lord was not in the fire: 

and after the fire a still small voice.

1 Kings 19:12

Whether You Know It or Not

Do the things you know, and you shall learn the truth you need to know

Louisa May Alcott 

 Plant a seed

and you will find out what is held within

Open a book

and you will find what is waiting

Cast your bread upon the water

Your nets on to the sea

Your prayers unto the heavens

and you shall learn the truth you need to know.

and that's poetiquejustis 

Be humbled by God's power so that when the right time comes He will honor you.

1 Peter 5:6

Life by the Slice

Give us this day our daily bread

The Lord's Prayer

Our daily bread

So much more than food

It is the slices of day between which we put our life

Sometimes it is soft and squishy

Sometimes it is crusty and hard

And sometimes it seems as though there are just 

But no matter how you slice it,

This is your day

so load it up 

and enjoy!

and that's poetiquejustis

This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.

Psalm 118:24
