How It Gets Done

 

The important work

of moving the world forward

does not wait to be done

by perfect men

George Eliot (Mary Ann Evans)

They say it takes a village

I say it takes you

And me

And anyone else ready to show up

And do the work

That's how it gets done

And that's poetiquejustis

  Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you. James 1:27

Sensing Life

 

A sense of humor is just common sense dancing.

 William James

You have heard it all before:

"Wear sensible shoes"

"What's the sense?"

And you know when you have heard it?

When your senses are clouded by the common

And your heart forgets to dance.

 Today, when your mind says be sensible

let your heart take over

then let it dance!

And that's poetiquejustis

Let them praise His name with dancing

Psalm 149:3

Bookish

 

Books

More than just the key to knowledge

They are the armchair travelers ticket to everywhere

They are the peace in the chaos

The friend you have always hoped to find

Books in binding

Books that you can hear

Books that you can read in the dark

Books that give life

To quote from a favorite author:

There are words waiting beyond your news app

Just waiting for you to find them

That's the word

and that's poetiquejustis

They read from the book, from the law of God, 

translating to give the sense so that they understood the reading.

Nehemiah 8:8

You Be You

 

The hardest struggle of all is to be something different from what the average man is.
Charles M Schwab

                                                On an average...we are all going to get hurt

                                      On an average...we are all going to go through a learning curve

But there is one place where you can beat the averages

Where you blowout the statistics and always make it over the net

And that is when you are you with all your heart

That's the only score to keep

and that's poetiquejustis

For we are God's masterpiece.

 He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things He planned for us long ago.

Ephesians 2:10

Falling Forward

 

When the weight of the past has you lashed to the mast...

Spencer Day

                                                       

                                                   Let the past slip into the past

Listen to the promises of now

 

Take the leap into today-

    It is where you belong

 

For the present is calling, 

 

it has a purpose

and you are free to do it

and that's poetiquejustis

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses,

 let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles

Hebrews 12:1

In a Word

 

I learn by going to where 

I have to go

Theodore Roethke

We do the things we have to do

We say the things we have to say

We do the work that needs to be done

We delight in the small things

We overlook the slights

And we help those who need help

We are....in a word

human

and that's poetiquejustis

                                                      Learn to do right; seek justice.
                                                        Defend the oppressed.
                                                   Take up the cause of the fatherless;
                                                          plead the case of the widow. 
                                                                   Isaiah 1:17

Do...Re...YOU!

 

Finally, I was no longer a student and was making music for myself.

Kenny G

At some point, you have to stop being 

A student of life's music

 

A collector of the melody of others

 

and the wisps of songs left behind by those who have moved ahead

 

 

 

Eventually, you have to stop being a student of life 

and the way others sing it

 

 

And start making music for yourself

now, that is a song I would love to hear!

and that's poetiquejustis

Serve the Lord with gladness: 

come before his presence with singing.

Psalm 100:2
