Are You In?

The time of the singing bird is come

Song of Solomon

It is time

Change is coming

New things are happening

Be a part of it

and that's poetiquejustis

For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! 

 

Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness.

 I will create rivers in the dry wasteland. 

Isaiah 43:19

Ideally

Ideas have come from the strangest places.
Joyce Carol Oates

They fly in from nowhere.

They leap out of darkness

They fall from the sky

They show up at your door

Ideas.

Be

for them.

Joseph Chilton Pierce said: 

"We live in a web of ideas- a fabric of our own making."

And yours become stronger and beautiful with every idea

you add.  

and that's poetiquejustis

I will sing a new song to You, O God

Psalm 144:9

How virtual is your reality?

Augmented reality...

I have enough trouble with the real thing these days

without seeing life through a pair of goggles

Am I going to be the only one left on this side of reality?

I admit it is tempting to retreat 

but I have the feeling

that we can do more good

in reality

and that's poetiquejustis

And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:19

Muddled

We sit in the mud... and reach for the stars.

Ivan Turgenev

When life seems like a   muddle

 And the waters have been muddied

 by the words that people say and things they do

When your boots seemed stuck and mired

And you really are quite tired

From the muddle that seems like life to you

Grab that mud and make some mud pies

Leave your footprints

Make a disguise

Take the muddle and build a stairway to the sky!

and that's poetiquejustis

I waited patiently for the LORD;

He turned to me and heard my cry.

He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire;

He set my feet on a rock 

Psalm 40:1-2

The Artwork of Life

Without naivete, there is no beauty

Diderot

We can learn so much from the artwork of kids

They take colors in hand and consider the empty page their own

They fill it with abandon and with freedom and without thought for technique

or critics

They simply put life as they see it on paper

Today, your life is before you

Color it real!

Color it yours!

and that's poetiquejustis

The greatest in the Kingdom of heaven is the one who humbles himself and becomes like this child.  

 Matthew 18:4

Splash It On

To affect the quality of the day

That is the highest of the arts

Henry David Thoreau

I envy my grandkids

 I hand them a drawing pad, or a clean art canvas

And without thought or pretense they fill it

With life, and color, and glee

I want to do the same thing with every day they are given

but to often

I stare at the blank canvas

and ponder

and ponder

so cautious...so concerned about how it will look....

and often put it all away without a mark

 happy that I have not made a mess of it!

Sadly, that is a cautionary tale for life as well

Thoreau said that the world is but a canvas to our imagination

Why take a day- a perfectly good "canvas" of time

and simply try to get through it

without making any mistakes?

Today is a new day

a new canvas!

I too can fill this day with life, and color and glee!

Imagine that!

and that's poetiquejustis

This is the day the LORD has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.

Psalm 118:24

Adjust

Be patient in all things but chiefly with yourself.

Francis de Sales

It is a long journey

Pace yourself

No one likes a nag

And your mind is no different

Chart your course

Raise your sails

Adjust

Then sail on at peace with yourself

and that's poetiquejustis 

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

1 Corinthians 13:4
