Living by Starlight

 

It is not in the stars to hold our destiny, but in ourselves

William Shakespeare

In the stars there are stories

In the stories there are dreams

In the dreams there is a future

In the future there is light

In the light there is a star

Write your story 
In the stars

and that's poetiquejustis

He determines the number of the stars and calls them each by name.

Psalm 147:4

Color It Real

 

Without naivete, there is no beauty

Diderot

We can learn so much from the artwork of kids

They take colors in hand and consider the empty page their own

They fill it with abandon 

They simply put life as they see it on paper

 Today, your life is before you

Color it real!

Color it yours!

and that's poetiquejustis

The greatest in the Kingdom of heaven 

is the one who humbles himself and becomes like this child.  

 Matthew 18:4

Good Morning!

 

Tis always morning somewhere in the world

Richard Henry Horne

Somewhere, your hope is waiting to be found

Somewhere, your dream is waiting to dance with you

Somewhere, the yesterdays are gone and the today has arrived

Somewhere, it is morning, 

so you can begin anew

any time of day 

And that's poetiquejusis
I wait for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning, 
Psalm 130:6

Good Enough!

 

You're a good man, Charlie Brown 

Charles Schultz

So, what exactly does it take to be a good person?

Well, here is a short list...

You are a good person if....

You fill up the empty water dish for the dog....

Give the guy on the street a few bucks to eat

and he is a good guy

when he shares it

You are a good guy

if you smile when you see a daisy

 (did you smile?)

You are a good guy if

You eat the meat loaf even if it is not "just like mom's"

 That's the good person short list

feel free to add your own

and that's poetiquejustis

A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart

Luke 6:45

On With It!

 Life loves to be taken by the lapel and told:
                                             "I'm with you kid. Let's go."

                                                           Maya Angelou

Life: grab here....

Time to experiment

......you don't need experience

.............in fact, if you wait for experience

.......................you will never experiment

and that's not living!

Life...take it for a spin

Give life a little grin

take life

and then do something that rocks

 Experiments don't take experience

and.....

All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 

and that's poetiquejustis

This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it

Psalm118:24

Driving Away the Shadows

 

 

A single sunbeam is enough to drive away many shadows

Francis of Assisi

A silent prayer

A cheerful thought

A pleasant memory or two

A whimsical plan

A moment of gratitude

All sunbeams in your day

And all there for the asking

and that's poetiquejustis

A cheerful heart is good medicine,
 but a broken spirit saps a person's strength.

Proverbs 17:22

What's the Use?

 

Always desire to learn something useful.

Sophocles

As long as we realize that useful 

and practical do not have to be the same thing

Balloons are very useful

They make us smile

Dandelions are useful

They give us wishes to blow in to the wind

Francis Bacon said:

 "Choose the life that is most useful, 

and habit will make it the most agreeable."

 That's some useful advice

and that's poetiquejustis

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Romans 12:12
