Untamed

 

 

Don't let them tame you!

You can be

Sociable

Civilized

Flexible

Likeable

or 

Faded

That would not be you!

and you were meant to be you!

 That's your glory

The Better Way

 

 

The world is so full of suffering-

and it is also the overcoming of it

Bad things happen

Good people step in

Kind words seek to help

Good can give so much back

Go...be good to one another

Great works are performed not by strength

but by perseverance

Do we really need to climb every mountain?

                                    Or are we meant to find the mountains that will get us to our goal?

After climbing a great hill,

one only finds that there are many more hills to climb

May  we have the heart to find them

 

and the perseverance to climb them all

That is the joy of living

Pure logic is the ruin of the spirit

Give it away

Looking for Mr. Good Guy

 

You're a good man, Charlie Brown 

Charles Schultz

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

Well, here is my 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

Books and Blossoms, Buds and Bowers

 

I sing of books. blossoms, buds, and bowers-

of April, May, and June.

You can whine

You can snarl

You can throw up our hands in dismay

Or you can dance

You can sing

You can find pleasant things to say.

You choose.

And that's poetiquejustis

Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.
