Just some thoughts...

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

Loose the Ropes

 

What can we gain by sailing to the moon if we are not able to cross the abyss 
that separates us from ourselves?
Thomas Merton



by all means-

Navigate!


Trim the sails!


Chart your course!

But there comes a time when you need to loose the ropes



And simply drift

To see upon what shores your unfettered mind will land
 
Perhaps you will be surprised at who you find there...perhaps it will be you
And you will have a friend for the future voyage

and that's poetiquejustis


The wind blows to the south and goes around to the north; around and around goes the wind, 
and on its circuits the wind returns. 
All streams run to the sea, but the sea is not full; 
to the place where the streams flow, there they flow again.   Ecclesiastes 1:6-7
