Aspiring!

 

Our aspirations are our possibilities

Samuel Johnson

Aspire

From the Latin: To breathe upon

To give life to your hopes

and let them take wing

Take a breath!

Now give it back to the universe as your possibilities fulfilled

Change It Up!

 

If you do what you've always done, you will get what you've always gotten

Tony Robbins

Stick to your guns!

Stay on that same path!

Don't try anything new!

Same old, same old!

hmmm...how's that workin' for ya?

Go on...give something new a try

 It is time!

and that's poetiquejustis

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.

The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.

2 Corinthians 5:17

You Are An Original

 

 

Never play a thing

the same way twice

Louis Armstrong

If life is the same old song

turn the page

If life is the same old dance

learn a new step

If life is not fresh every day

Open the windows of your mind

and let in something  new

and that's poetiquejustis

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come:

 The old has gone, the new is here!

2 Corinthians 5:17

Maddening isn't it?

 

How we spend our days 

is of course how we spend our lives

Annie Dillard 

Lately, I have been more aware of how I spend the gift of time

I have less patience with the trivial and the contrived

Those meaningless projects whose only purpose is self-perpetuation.

As I plod through the inconsequential

 trying to reach that which truly matters

I quote Alice to myself-
frequently:

Alice: But I don't want to go among mad people.  
The Cat: Oh, you can't help that. We're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.
Alice: How do you know I'm mad?
The Cat: You must be. Or you wouldn't have come here.

That is a real possibility

and that's poetiquejustis

 Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.

Psalm 90:12

Your Secret Weapon

 

The human race has only one real effective weapon 

and that is laughter.

Mark Twain

The sound of rain on the roof while you sit before a fire

The sound of someone cooking in the kitchen

when you know the meal is for you

The sound of birds when Spring has finally returned

The sound of children's voices raised in song

The sound of truth when it falls upon your ears
and tears away the lies.

When there seems to be nothing but noise and clambering

coming at you from every direction

These are the sounds that you must hold inside your heart...

and never forget 

                                                  the laughter

And that's poetiquejustis

Worry weighs us down;
    a cheerful word picks us up.

Proverbs 12:25

Sizing It All Up

 

Beware, so long as you live, of judging men by their outward appearance.

Jean De La Fontaine

 

I live in a County where "things"

Houses and watches have to be big

 

Bodies and iPads have to be thin

 

Texts have to be brief

 

And salaries have to be 6 figures

 

Sizing it all up...... Unless there is depth to

 our thoughts,

 our love

 and our compassion

                                                     we all come up short

                                                  and that's poetiquejustis

 Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?

Matthew 6:25

Every Reason to Sing

 

A bird does not sing because it has an answer.

It sings because it has a song

Lou Holtz

Life is not waiting for your answers

Life is not even waiting for your questions

Life is not tapping its toe until you give it logic

certainly not logic

And life does not care if you give it 

or a 

Life just wants you to 

and maybe a bit of a song

so today-

find your song

and sing it!

and that's poetiquejustis

Praise the LORD! How good to sing praises to our God! How delightful and how fitting!

Psalm 147:1
