I can live with that

 

 I am an un-healable positive optimist

Andre Rieu

There is no cure

There are no meds

There is no prescription

You are just going to have to suffer with the symptoms

Of a light heart

A sunny smile

And a hopeful future

You can live with that!

And that's poetiquejustis

                                       Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again--rejoice!
                                                                    Philippians 4:4

Realistically Speaking

 

It is, after all, impossible in the modern world to shield everyone from nonsense and stupidity.

L. M. Krauss 

A little nonsense is Ok

and a little goes

a very long way

 

Dr. Seuss took flight with it

Then he took it on the road

Nonsense can be fun

As long as we keep it in its place

Proverbs 16:24 “Kind words are like honey–sweet to the soul and healthy for the body.”

Keys to Success

 

You fail only if you stop writing

Ray Bradbury

Writing is a ritual

One that cleanses

                                      As you are humbled
                           before the every present, unyielding keys

They are insatiable

They will not move without you 

and within them they  have locked

Everything you are meant to say

It is a rite

Is it wrong?

It is writing.

and that's poetiquejustis

 May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to you, O LORD, my rock and my redeemer.

Psalm 19:14

Illumination

 

Love must be a light 

as much as it is a flame

Thoreau

                                                     For love to see us through the dark times

It must be a light

                                                                  If love will fuel our dreams

It must be a flame

In the words of Edna St Vincent Millay: 

"My candle burns at both end

It will not last the night;

but ah, my foes

 and ah my friends

It gives a lovely light."

and that's poetiquejustis

Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

Matthew 5:16

Who Will You Be?

 

The best you can be

The kindest you can be

The most peaceful you can be

The most generous you can be

the more life you will live

Winston Churchill said

We make a living by what we get

We make a life by what we give

So...start

 now

Are you ready?

Go!

And that's poetiquejustis

"But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal"

Matthew 6:20

Where have you gone?

 

Just remain in the center watching 

and then forget that you are there

Lao Tzu

 

You see it all

The chaos

The greed

The cold and the heartless

You see it all, you care

And yet you remain serene

How can that be?

 

Because you know how to live within

that's where you find peace

and that's poetiquejustis

 My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. ¹They are not of the world, even as I am not of it.  Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.

John 17:15-17

Neck and Neck with Life

 

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Agatha Christie

Neck and neck

Pulling ahead ahead

Lagging behind

Where's the fire?

What's the hurry?

Once you are out of the gate

 

Just enjoy the journey!

                                                         But to do that, you have to get started

                                                                           So...it is time

 out of the gate...

Bravo!
You are on your way!

For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven

Ecclesiastes 3:1
