Just some thoughts...

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

Take The Fall- and then...


Falling down is one thing
Getting pushed is something else
Getting thrown under the bus is yet another
It does not matter how you hit the ground
What matters is
 who you are when you stand up
that matters
And that's poetiquejustis
But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, 
they will walk and not be faint.
Isaiah 40 31

Be Sensible

We are in part what our senses take in
Eknath Eswaran

Draw in
Delight
Delve
Come to your senses
and bring your senses to life
And that's poetiquejustis
Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are healthy, your whole body also is full of light.

A Seed for Thought

Out of difficulties
grow miracles
Jean de Bruyere
No matter where you find yourself
No matter how barren it all seems
No matter how alone you feel

Your life can grow in to a miracle
and that's poetiquejustis
 Look at the lilies and how they grow. They don't work or make their clothing, yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are.
Luke 12:27

Answer Me This

Computers are useless
they can only give answers
Pablo Picasso
Remember that great old movie Desk Set
with Tracy and Hepburn?
She runs the reference library at a network
with a team of very human women
and he wants to replace them all
with a hunk of metal and diodes
His invention has all the answers
but when it blows a gasket
 her team....has the hairpin
Because sometimes 
having all the answers
is not enough
to make life work
and that's poetiquejustis
“Come now, let us reason together", says the LORD
Isaiah 1:18

It Doesn't Take Much

A little bit added 
to what you already have
gets you a  little bit more
P G Wodehouse
Just one more kind deed for another person
Makes your life a little bigger
Just one smile for a heart that needs one
Makes your own heart a happier  place
Just one more place at your table for a lonely friend
Makes your humble home a mansion

Give a little to get
A beautiful life...
it doesn't take much
and that's poetiquejustis
For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in
Matthew 25:35

So, Here is the Plan

Growing old is just a bad habit
that a busy person
has no time to form
 Andre Maruios

Growing old is something I never worry about
As I never made a decision to grow up
Let alone grow old
It's not on the table
I figure what I can do
Is as much as I can
For as many as I can
For as long as as I can
And when I no longer can
I won't
And that's poetiquejustis

And let us not grow weary of doing good,
 for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. 
Galatians 6:9
