A Soul in Residence

 

My soul is not a palace of the past... 

~James Russell Lowell

But it could be the gateway to the future

It does not always live in sunshine

Nor does it always seek the shadows

My soul....

Your soul

simply is

what we allow our soul to be

That is what keeps us growing

 and that's poetiquejustis

Then Mary said, "My soul praises the greatness of the Lord!

Luke 1:46

Here is some good news!

 

Be nice to yourself

Julia Cameron

                                  Bad news and sadness is falling around us quite often these days

kind of gives you a chill

So surround yourself with loving people

                                                        The others may still be out there

for all of us.

                                                       Trying to put a chill in to our sunny day

So be good to yourself

 and to each other

and watch the chill

just fade away

That's the good news

and that's poetiquejustis

Kind words are like honey--sweet to the soul and healthy for the body.

Proverbs 16:24

Frankly Speaking

When your worldview is challenged, you'd be surprised 

how quickly you can find a way to dismiss reality.

Jess Phillips

"I've been a puppet, a poet, a pirate. a pawn and a King"

That's right, Frank- 

that's life

Have you ever stopped to think though

That is less about how the world sees you

But how you see the world?

 

 and that's poetiquejustis

“The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light, 

Matthew 6:22

Now We Know

 

Man can learn nothing except by going 

from the known to the unknown

Claude Bernard

What is holding you back?

are you looking for a workaround

or a new road to success

Everyone gets off track sometime

                                             But that does not mean you can't still make progress

You can make excuses, or you can make progress

But you cannot do both

That's what I've learned

And that's poetiquejustis

                         Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD is kept safe.

You May Have A Word

 

Words are but the signs of ideas.

Samuel Johnson

Ideas live behind the words

Like the queen behind the castle wall

Words herald her approach

But can never really express her majesty 

The grandeur

The mystery

Of what has been brought into the world-

a new idea

and that's poetiquejustis

Be you transformed by the renewing of your mind

Romans 12:2

Enough Said

 

The lure of quantity is the most dangerous of all

Simone Weil

Enough

Too much

Enough

Too Much

Enough

Never enough

And that's poetiquejustis 

So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. 

Just as I have loved you, you should love each other

John 13:34

The Currency of Attention

 

Let us not look back in anger

nor forward in fear

but around us in awareness

James Thurber

 It is not what you left behind

Or even what is ahead

It is who is beside you

It is the passion within you

That needs your attention.

Whatever the price

Pay attention

The cost is too high if you do not 

and the dividends are great if you do

 

and that's poetiquejustis

I will stand at my watch and station my myself on the ramparts

Habakkuk 2:1
