Drop it!

 

 All serious daring starts from within.

Eudora Welty

 

You don't have to look far 

 

Right inside your heart you will find

Places to go

People to be

Dreams to visit

 

It is all right there

if you dare to find it.

And that's poetiquejustis

Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.

Ephesians 3:20 

 

The Parts of Life

 

And all the windows of my heart 

I open to the day

John Greenleaf Whittier

The sunshine of smiles

The mist of tears

The winds of change

The fog of sadness

The chill of pain

The warmth of love

Make a room in my heart for all

And welcome each as a friend

They are all a part of living

and that's poetiquejustis 

 .... for I have learned to be content in whatever situation I am in.

Philippians 4:11

Pacing Yourself

 

One can never consent to creep when one feels the impulse to soar

Helen Keller

To creep

To soar

To run

To walk

We all get there one way or the other

The important part is getting there 

on your own terms.

and that's poetiquejustis

And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us

Hebrews 12:1

Taking Stock

 

Nothing is worth more than this day

Goethe

What would you trade for today?

Are you selling the day short?

Or are you investing in your dreams?

Are you building a portfolio of good things for tomorrow?

or are you waiting for things to get better on their own?

Take stock of your life

Take stock of your day

Before the sun goes down

and the market called "today"

closes

and that's poetiquejustis

But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called "Today," 

Hebrews 3:13

Love You Back

 

I have found that if you love life

Life will love you back

Arthur Rubenstein

Give to life

and it returns the favor

Borrow from life

and it opens it hand

but hide from life

and it will not seek you out

Today

At least meet life half way

and that's poetiquejustis

 In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. 

Matthew 5:16

Behind the scenes

 

Sometimes the heart sees what is invisible to the eye.

H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

It is time to notice them

 the "background people"

 we need to think about them 

Those people who serve

Who get things done

who makes things nice

Who make our lives possible

They are not invisible

Today

See with your heart

 and say hello to

 the background people

and that's poetiquejustis

But in humility count others more significant than yourselves.
 

Philippians 2:3

Reflections

 

Only the still pool reflects the stars

Chinese Proverb

What are your reflecting?

The rush?

The clamor?

                                                                       

                                                                           The chaos?

Here is a thought:

Give up the need for speed

 

And reflect

 

To the mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders. Share this Quote

To the mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders

 And that's poetiquejustis

Seek peace and pursue it

Psalm 34:14
