Just some thoughts...

Every day, as I write Poetiquejustis, I pray it will be a blessing to someone.
Today, I hope it is you.

Awestruck

 

Every day I try to be in communication with the universe
 in an unconscious way
Paulo Coehlo

I may never tell you this but....
Wind....I hear you
Sun.....I feel you
Mountains.....I revere you
Oceans.....I am in awe
Stars.....I reach for you
I just thought you should know
God, created of all, I worship You. 
and that's poetiquejustis
For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him.
Colossians 1:16

Your Why and How is Now

 

He who has a why to live
can bear almost any how
Nietzsche
I have to admit, 
There are days 
when the only motivation 
for getting up
is that the cat
won't have it any other way
 
Then there are other days
where you can find my purpose
in every blade of grass,
 
There is a song in every tree
 
a poem in every task
But most days..
it is just the cat
Your purpose is waiting
and that's poetiquejustis
So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom. 
Psalm 90:12

No Stopping Now!

 

“The question isn’t who is going to let me; 
it’s who is going to stop me.”
Ayn Rand
 Not everyone along the way
Is interested in your success
No matter
Not everyone cares about
Your goals 
No matter!
                                      Because as long as the person you see in the mirror is
                                                                  committed to your goals you will

 then there is no stopping you
so keep calm
and
and that's poetiquejustis
And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us
Hebrews 12:1

Now O'clock

 

Time is not a line, but a series of "now" points
Taisan Deshimaru




Moments are the stepping stones

That move you across you life


Respect each moment for you do not know where it leads


Step carefully from one moment to the next being mindful that it is a moment like no other

But step!


Moment to moment

Deed to deed

Connecting moment to moment
until it is all
now

and that's poetiquejustis
                                             Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord. Isaiah 1:18

Mark Your Words

 

We aim above the mark
to hit the mark
R W Emerson



We try to love a little more than we need to

                     we send out more smiles,and kind words and deeds
                                               than we feel like sending




We may not always hit the mark


But at least we care enough to aim
and that's poetiquejustis
Finally, brothers, good-by. Aim for perfection, listen to my appeal, be of one mind, live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you.
                                         2 Corinthians 3:11

Editing Life

 

If we go down into ourselves
we find that we possess
exactly what we desire
Simone Weil
We are what we take in
We are what we embrace
We are what we believe
We are the one who made those choices
Is it time to edit those choices?
That is up to you 
And that's poetiquejustis
As a man thinks in his heart
so he is.
Proverbs 23:7

The Slow Start

 

All happiness depends on a leisurely breakfast
John Gunther

It used to be this

Or at the very least this




Now it is this




Or this



Or this


You may not have a lot of choices in your work day



But you sure should be able to make a good choice
about where it begins

Carve out a few moments of peace
to start your day

It is the first step in being in control of your life
and that's poetiquejustis

.....but in the morning there is joy.
Psalm 30:5
