Take it with you

If we cannot find tranquility in ourselves,

it is useless to seek it elsewhere

Francois De La Rochefoucald

 A day at the beach helps

A week in the mountain refreshes

A stroll at sunset

Greeting the dawn

all moments in time

of tranquility

Tranquility 

can be for a moment

Or it can follow you 

wherever you go

Wordsworth said

 poetry is simply 

a recollection of tranquility

May all your tomorrows be days

when you can recall yesterday

as a day of tranquility

and that's poetiquejustis

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

John 14:27

The Latest and Greatest

Time is a dressmaker

specializing in alterations

Faith Baldwin

Time changes everything

 

from fences

To faces

But those things you do for others

 

 

 

Those things you do out of kindness

for your fellow man

 

 

over time

 

 

age well

 

and that's poetiquejustis

 Bear one each others burdens,

 and so fulfill the law of Christ.

Galatians 6:2

Going My Way?

The road to success

is always under construction

Lily Tomlin

Just when you get ready to hit the road to success

You start seeing signs

and you think they all mean

Not so!

It just means
you have some work ahead of you!

 Sure-

There are things that may slow you down

But when you are on the road to success

*

Everything is useful 

Like knowing when to give others the "right of way" 

Or just learning to share the road

Remember:

Not every sign along the road to success means "STOP"

So, when you hit a bump

 just put your best foot forward

and enjoy those you meet along the way

Because you are all headed

in the same direction

and that's poetiquejustis

As they were going along the road, someone said to Him, 

"I will follow You wherever You go." –

The Wait and the Journey

He than can have patience

can have what he will

Benjamin Franklin

The work you do 

to get to what you want

is the journey you have before you

and you have no way of knowing 

if the things you do

the people you see

the places you go

along the way

may not be far more important

than the end you want 

to achieve

St Augustine said

Patience is the companion of wisdom

Keep doing what you know you have to do

until you get where you want to go

and be patient

until you get there

that's how it gets done

and that's poetiquejustis

When he arrived and saw 

what the grace of God had done, 

he was glad and encouraged them all 

to remain true to the Lord with all their hearts.

Acts 11:23

 

Best Practices

Practice yourself in the little things

and thence proceed to greater

Epictetus

Every marathon runner

First just went out for a walk 

Every great orator

started out by just saying 'hello"

to someone

 Take the first steps

Say the first words

Today

and that's poetiquejustis

Not that I have already attained this--that is, I have not already been perfected--but I strive to lay hold of that

 for which Christ Jesus also laid hold of me.

Philippians 3:12

Roped In

What worries you 

masters you

Haddon K Robinson

Worry is like a lasso

It seeks you out

It chases you down

It ropes you in

And before you know it

You cannot move

Today

Send worry

riding off 

in to the sunset

 alone

and that's poetiquejustis

 "No one can serve two masters."

Matthew 6:24
