The Past

I fling my past behind me like a robe.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox

You shall not hold me back

You shall not hold me down

You shall become the steps beneath my feet 

To an ever brighter day

You will be silent about my failures

Yet ever cheering me on

Past, I appreciate all we have been through

But, moving on now-

I've got this. 

And that's poetiquejustis 

 And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.”

Mark 11:25

 

Where Are You?

No snowflake falls

in the wrong place

Zen Saying

You are

where you are

because that is where you need to be

to do what it is

you are supposed to be doing

you just need to find out what that is

every snowflake knows that

and now so do you

and that's poetiquejustis

She is not afraid of the snow for her household,

 For all her household are clothed with scarlet

Proverbs 31:21

 

Your Place In The Sun

Color in certain places has the great value of making the outlines and structural planes 

seem more energetic.

Antonio Gaudi

There are days when you can feel that you are fading

Simply blending in to the background of life

and other people's agendas

A dot on life's illustrated version

 

No!

Refuse to fade!

 Leave the shadows behind

 

 

Find your place in the sun

Find your light

and shine

and that's poetiquejustis

And God said: Let there be light, and there was light.

Genesis 1:3

 

May I Have A Word?

Fill your pages with details

Work hard to get the right word.

Robert Littell

Each day an empty page

With you the author- sage!

Fill each moment line by line

 Live!  Create! Refine!

and who knows

 what you will find!

and that's poetiquejustis

   Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might

Ecclesiastes 9:10

 

Piecing Your Life Together

Time, space and lots of friends.

Jennifer Chiaverini

The Quilter's Apprentice

In that small quote, the author is talking about

what it takes to make a quilt.

Small pieces of fabric

carefully stitched together

Over time and space

with a little help from your friends

That is how you make a quilt

 

and that is also how

you make a life

and that's poetiquejustis

I have filled him with the Spirit of God, 

giving him great wisdom, ability, and expertise in all kinds of crafts.

Exodus 31:3

 

The Dancer and the Dance

 
My heart beats in three-quarter time
Eric Kandel

Always a little ahead of ourselves

 

Step one two
Step one two





 
 












 The waltz of life


Circling the room

Lightly held in the arms of fate

Step one two
Step one two


 








The music of the moment flowing through you

Propelling you in ever widening
Ever decreasing circles

 Step one two
Step one two

Waiting for the dance to begin

Or to end

Forgetting for the moment

That you are the dancer and the dance
And that's poetiquejustis

And David danced before the Lord with all his might.
2 Samuel 6:14

Try Your Luck!

You got to try your luck at least once a day

because if you don't, you could be walking 

around all day lucky and never know it.

Jimmy Dean

Give it a shot

Give it a spin

If you fall on your face

 Give it a grin

Give it a whirl

Give it a try

But whatever you do

Don't let today pass you by

And that's poetiquejustis

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

Psalm 118:24
