Just some thoughts...

Every day, as I write Poetiquejustis, I pray it will be a blessing to someone.
Today, I hope it is you.

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

You Are Right Where You Are

No snowflake falls
in the wrong place
Zen Saying
You are
where you are
because that is where you need to be
to do what it is
you are supposed to be doing
you just need to find out what that is
every snowflake knows that
and now so do you
and that's poetiquejustis
She is not afraid of the snow for her household,
 For all her household are clothed with scarlet
Proverbs 31:21

Getting ahead of yourself

  I hope that in this year to come,
 you make mistakes. 
Because if you are making mistakes, 
then you are making new things, 
trying new things, 
learning, living, 
pushing yourself,
 changing yourself,
 changing your world. 
You're doing things you've never done before, 
and more importantly, you're doing something.
 Neil Gaiman
Let's meet here - right here
one year from today
What will you say?
Where will you have been?
What will you have done
What will you have seen
Who will you have helped
What will you know that you did not know before?
I will be here and waiting to hear!
Now - off with you!
Have a little faith!
 Go find the new
It will not wait for you forever

And that's poetiquejustis
I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're doing something.

Faith shows the reality of what we hope for.
It is the evidence of the things we cannot see.

Just the Facts

It has never been natural for me to deviate from the facts of anything before me
Norman Rockwell

Look me in the eye

Stand before me- toe to toe


Put out your hand and give me a shake



 Now that wasn't so bad, was it?

Hello...I am who you have been

afraid to be

I am what you never thought you could do

I am what you never made time for
I am who you never  thought you had in you.

Well.... here I am
Been here all the time
Just waiting for you
and now that we have met- 
let's go live some life together!
 
Einstein said:
 Once we accept our limits, we go beyond them.
Limits?
Accepted.
Now- go!
and that's poetiquejustis

Well done, good and faithful servant. 
You have been faithful in a few things
I will put you in charge of many.
Matthew 25:23

Perfect!!

The thing that is really hard, and really amazing,
 is giving up on being perfect 
and beginning the work of becoming yourself.
Anna Quindelin
Being a kid is hard
Every day, someone is judging
Assessing
Or watching you
And we never seem to get over that, do we?
We try to be perfect
Whose idea was that anyhow???
Well, I say we go back to the drawing board with that idea
Because the fact is
You will only be a shadow of you 
and
never perfect
Until you are the imperfectly perfect you
you were always meant to be
 and that's poetiquejustis
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; 
your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
Psalm 139:14

To See More Clearly

Perpetual optimism is a force multiplier
Colin Powell

Believing things will get better
certainly feels better 
than believing they won't
and if you feel better

You see things more clearly
and if you see things more clearly
and you can make things
even better
then just "better"
and that's poetiquejustis
"The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, 
your whole body will be full of light."
Matthew 6:22

Clean Sweep

The thing to do is grab the broom
and drive off the beast of fear
N.Houston



Get busy


Get moving


Get some miles under your feet

and some sky in front of your nose

That is how you put the fear behind you
and that's poetiquejustis
So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Isaiah 41:10
