Nota Bene

Moments big as years.

John Keats

A flower opens

A puppy finds her feet

A young woman finds her voice

A young man finds his words

Your dreams finds their way

Coming soon to a life near you

Things only happen once for the first time

Be there when they do

And that's poetiquejustis

For who has despised the day of small things?

Zechariah 4:10

The Comings and Goings

I make the most of all that comes and the least of all that goes

Sara Teasdale

Coming and going

Life's ebbing and flowing

The rising and falling

Waking and sleeping

Giving and taking

It is all within your reach

If you only let it go

and that's poetiquejustis

  

But the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth

 and the desires for other things 

come in and choke the Word, making it unfruitful.

Mark 4:19

The Simple Act of Caring

Step out

Speak out

Reach out

Because "caring"starts from the inside out

and that's poetiquejustis

Say no to wrong.
    Learn to do good.
Work for justice.
    Help the down-and-out.
Stand up for the homeless.
    Go to bat for the defenseless.

Isaiah 1:17 (The Message)

Keeping Company

                                                       Good company in a journey

makes the way seem shorter

Isaak Walton

A good book

A pleasant melody

 

A positive thought

A big dream

A bit of hope

 

There- now you are in good company!

And you can sweep the rest away

and that's poetiquejustis

Escape quickly from the company of fools
They are a waste of your time and a waste of your words
Proverbs 14:7

Once More With Feeling

The path is your to choose

The song is yours to sing

The words are yours to say

This life is yours to live

So what is stopping you

from doing it

with all your heart?

That is the question

and that's poetiquejustis

For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Matthew 6:21

Pencil Me In

A #2 pencil and a dream

can take you anywhere.

Joyce Meyer

 

The lowly pencil....

Anonymous among its brethren

Are like the very good people we meet along the way

They are there for the big tests in life

Ready to give us another chance

Always happy to help us learn

 Or just while away the hours

Pencils...like a very good friend

Always seem to get the point

and never think you are dull

We may find more elegant tools 

 

But remember the  #1 lesson from the lowly #2 pencil

 

And that's poetiquejustis

I will never leave you nor forsake you

Hebrews 13

Painted Ponies and Possibilities

And the seasons they go round and round

and the painted ponies go up and down...

Joni Mitchell

Do you remember how exciting it was to ride a carousel?

You bought your ticket

.... chose your trusty steed

Or did it seem that he chose you?

You ran to your horse

 

the music began

 

 

And the rest of the world faded away

Somewhere in your mind you knew you were going in circles

But in your heart, you were heading for a great adventure

Today,  if you feel you are going nowhere

Take your imagination out for a spin as you did when you were a kid

Because  in your heart, your trusty steed still awaits. 

Off you go!

And that's poetiquejustis
