Life is almost never seamless

You put the pieces together, 

and you do it one forward motion at a time

Of course, there are some days when you have to start all over

But that certainly is better than leaving life undone

And that's poetiquejustis

Mistakes are acceptable if they're the result of moving forward.

Psalm 68:19 

Blessed be the Lord who daily carries us forward. 

Whose Garden Is This?

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

We all search for someone else's garden
until we discover we have to plant our own.

A. Stoddard

The grass seems greener

The flowers seem brighter

The trees seem shadier

In other people's lives

But when we take the time

To nurture what we have

 We see the hidden beauties in our life

are only waiting for us to bloom first.

And that's poetiquejustis

You set me up with a house and yard.
    And then you made me your heir!

Psalm 16:6 

Let's Finish This

I chose to work on my work

Julia Cameron "The Sound of Paper"

There many voices that call out for our time

And a hundred places for time to slip away and hide

Headlines to dive in to

Other people's lives to judge

Meanwhile...back in your life- what's being left undone?

 "When a stranger come knocking, do you let him in?
Was there food on your table for that down and out friend?
Did you hide the shadows, or did you walk in the sun?
Do you regret the things left undone?"

Janiva Magness

 So now finish doing it as well, so that your readiness in desiring it may be matched by your completing it out of what you have.

2 Corinthians 8:11

The Fine Print of Life

Success is the sum of the details

Harry Firestone

The little things you remember

To say

To do

To be

To love

Those are the details

That tell the tale

Of you

That's quite a story!

and that's poetiquejustis

He who is faithful in the least, is also faithful in much

Luke 16:10

We always seem to be gathering something....

We are gathering your thoughts

Gathering our friends

Gathering...always gathering

Harlan Howard even said he was always collecting 
emotions for future reference

We even gather our courage

Things just seem to have a tendency to gather

Even clouds do it

But now, what we gather most is information

                                                                - a lot of information!

Gathering is good

As long as you know why you are gathering whatever it is you are gathering

                                          And what you are going to do with it once you have it
                                                            and that's poetiquejustis

                   " For where two or three have gathered together in My name,
                                                             I am there in their midst."

                                                                    Matthew 18:20
                                                         

Simplicity Itself

Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact

William James

There are times when it is not easy to believe in life

It is not easy to go on

To know why

or how

or if

Yet

We struggle

We press on to the summit

We persevere through the darkness

We smile and we laugh and we sing  and we are human

Until once more the light breaks through and we remember that life after all 

simply is
very much worth living
and living well

and that's poetiquejustis

The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it.

John 1:5

The Row Ahead

Plunge boldly in to the thick of life

Goethe

 I decided to take the plunge

and turn a small and neglected plot of earth 

in to a garden

Today

 it is now a place of whimsy and quiet

to have lunch on an autumn day

It just took a spade, some dirt, some energy

and some flowers

and the will to begin and finish!

So now....

Maybe it is time to look at some neglected

patches of life?

Who knows what will grow!

and that's poetiquejustis

And the LORD God planted a garden in Eden

Genesis 2:8
