You Are Here

 

Start where you stand

Napoleon Hill

This is it

This is where  today begins

and yesterday ends

-Right now-

This is where you are who you are

and it is from here

this very spot

 

that you will begin to seek

whoever you are going to be

and do all the things you are going to do

right here

right now

Isn't that amazing?

So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable. Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless.

1 Corinthians 15:58 (NLT)

Cheers!

 

Wealth is the ability to fully experience life

Thoreau

Too small a sip and 

and life will not satisfy

Too large a gulp

and life becomes too hard to swallow

Too bitter the brew 

and you may lose your taste for living

Each day

Fill your own cup

even if it is from the rain of sadness and joy

and drink to life in whatever way you can

and that's poetiquejustis

Fear of the Lord is a life-giving fountain
Proverbs 14:27

Who Says You Can't?

 

Thank goodness my education was neglected

Beatrix Potter

No one told Ms Potter 

that she had to be trained to draw

so she produced art

No one told her that she 

did not know how to publish a book

So she did- again and again and again

Where would we be had

Ms Beatrix Potter 

listened to the voices saying

"you can't do that"

Where will you be

if you do?

More importantly

where will you be if you don't? 

I was just wondering

and that's poetiquejustis

Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, 

but be a new and different person with a fresh newness in all you do 

and think. 

Then you will learn from your own experience how His ways 

will really satisfy you.

Romans 12:2

You Win

 

The way of the sage is to act

but not to compete

Lao-Tzu

I won my first spelling bee

 in First Grade

I won my first poetry competition

in 6th grade

In other words...

I got competition in to my blood pretty early

But then I grew up

And realized that competing in life

Meant running someone else's race

For a prize of their choosing

 Just to make sure

that other people lose

Now, where's the fun in that?

I bet I can get where I want to go

without worrying if you get their first!

and that's poetiquejustis

Let everyone be sure that he is doing his very best, for then he will have the personal satisfaction of work well done and won’t need to compare himself with someone else. 

Galatians 6:4

Yours for the Singing

 

Music produces a kind of pleasure that human nature cannot do without

Confucius

The melody of laughter

The notes of praise

The symphony of nature

Your life is set to music

                                                       that only you can share with the world

and that's poetiquejustis

Speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit.

 Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord

Ephesians 5:19

Melodious Silence

 

Create degrees of silence

Don DeLillo

All silences are not created equal

There is silence

and there is silence

There is the hush of dawn

And the thundering silence of a lonely night

Claude Debussy said

Music is the silence between notes

Choose your silence well

it is the melody of your life

and that's poetiquejustis

            And after the earthquake a fire; but the Lord was not in the fire: 

and after the fire a still small voice.

1 Kings 19:12

Outta here!

 

Get rid of everything except your loves.

Voltaire

Old clothes

Old hats

Old cars

Old food

Old Grudges

Old disappointments

Let them go

and make room

for the beauty that life has ready to bloom!

and that's poetiquejustis

Isaiah 43:19
