Inklings

 Ink is a divine commodity.

Abbie Graham 

Ceremonials of Common Days

 

 

Pen to paper 

 

Thoughts to pen

 

The absorption of ink to parchment

 

Soaking in word by word

 

Line by line

 

The Eternal

 

and the here and now

 

All flowing across the pages of time.

And that's poetiquejustis

I, Paul, write this greeting in my own hand, which is the distinguishing mark in all my letters. 

2 Thessalonians 3:17

 

 

On The Wing

No bird soars too high

if they soar with their own wings

William Blake

Go ahead!

Soar

Flutter

Be focused

Go for it!

Just make sure you know

your wings

 Know who you are

and then you will know how to "fly"

and that's poetiquejustis

 But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles

Isaiah 40:31

 

Streaming Life

Time is but a stream

 that I go a fishing in

Henry David Thoreau

The years as water pass by

I choose to stop along the way and cast my line to fate

Or not

Steven Wright said:

"There's a fine line between fishing

 and just standing on the shore like an idiot."

in my life -as I live it-

I have chosen not to make that distinction

and that's poetiquejustis

At once they left their nets and followed him.

Matthew 4:20

 

Yes You Will

The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength...not a lack of knowledge....but rather a lack of will

Vince Lombardi

Will you press on?

Will you not give up?

Will you simply tip your hat to  adversity?

Will you get up just one more time...again and again?

You will?

Fantastic!

YOU ARE A SUCCESS

And that's poetiquejustis

For it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.

Philippians 2:13

 

Your Wheel of Fortune

 

If the wind will not serve, take to the oars

Latin Proverb

"Don't reinvent the wheel"

Sound advice....unless a wheel is not the answer

for you

"We have always done it this way"

Makes sense- until it no longer makes any sense

for you

"This has always worked"

Excellent- until it does not work anymore

for you

This is your project

 Your life 

 Your goal

No one ever made the wheel that worked for you

Because no one has ever  made your journey

Go ahead- invent your own wheel

and sail on

And that's poetiquejustis

  But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:19

Above It All

Human Nature is what we were put on this earth

to rise above

Katherine Hepburn in The African Queen

the journey

That which we understand

 and that which we never will

It is always best to rise above that which would

hold you back

and that's poetiquejustis

Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.

Colossians 3:2

 

Who Is Running This Place?

Either you run the day or the day runs you

Jim Rohn

We have heard it and we have said it:

"Where did the day go?"

Well, let's see....

Is it hiding under that list of things to do that never got done?

Perhaps it is hiding in plain sight
 hoping you will find it?

Or is the day hiding among the distractions, the "urgent" and the impossible

 that you have placed in its path?

                                                         If you lose track of today
                                             Perhaps it is not Today hiding from you
                                                          But you are avoiding today

                                                    You made Today many promises
                                                                        Keep them

                                                           You may not know how to find your
                                                                          "Tomorrows"

Discover today!

and that's poetiquejustis

                                                      So teach us to number our days 
                                                  that we may get a heart of wisdom. 
                                                                  Psalm 90:1
