In The Eye of the Flower

 

With an eye made quiet by the power of harmony, 

and the deep power of joy, 

we see into the life of things.

William Wordsworth

The flowers are watching

I just know they are

They really do not miss a thing

                  Sometimes, I even think they cry over our human tragedies and foibles

and I am certain that they laugh at our worrying so much!

 Flowers know how to live

They greet the dawn with joy

and they fear nothing from the night

Hiding in plain sight,

                           They spend the time they were given on earth

teaching us how to live

If only we will listen

and that's poetiquejustis

“And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.  If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? "

^{Matthew 6:28}

When the Light Breaks Through

 

 

Light is the symbol of truth

James Russell Lowell

Day-break  in a city

day-break in the forest

Day-break in soul

When the light of day breaks forths

That which has kept the world in darkness must let go

Today- let the day-break in to your life

and the darkness will let go

and that's poetiquejustis

I have come in to the world as Light so that no one who believes in Me should stay in darkness.

John 12: 46

Hope for the Better

 

 We must accept finite disappointment but never lose infinite hope.

Dr. Martin Luther King

We hope

...that there is sun behind the clouds

...that there are flowers sleeping beneath the snow

 ...that kindness will overcome all

 And because we hope

There is hope

Remember...

Hope cannot be taken away

It can only be surrendered

And that's poetiquejustis

“Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.” Romans 5:5

Effort. More or Less?

 

Keep the faculty of effort alive in you

by a little gratuitous practice every day.

William James

Give it a try

Give it a push

Give it a shove

Put a little elbow grease in there

                                                 Take it all in

Give it some love

Give it some care

The let it all out!

This is your Life- 

Your journey

make an effort

And that's poetiquejustis

            Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men
                                          Colossians 3:23

Getting In Step

 

An early morning walk

is a blessing for the whole day

Thoreau

If you start your day like this

 or like this

just make sure

you start your day

and your day does not start you!

and that's poetiquejustis

Never be in a hurry; do everything quietly and in a calm spirit. 

Do not lose your inner peace for anything whatsoever,

 even if your whole world seems upset.
St Frances De Sales

Living a Little More than Yesterday

 

I think life has a little more to give

Samuel Johnson

More than food 

More than drink

More than work

More than rest

Life has so much more to give

And you have so much more

to give

to life

Go! Give! Live!

and that's poetiquejustis

Bur seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness

and all of these things will be added to you

Matthew 6:33

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?

and that's poetiquejustis

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)
