What is it worth?

An open home

an open heart

Here grows a bountiful harvest

Judy Hand

To plant the seeds of acceptance

To share the earth and  grow together

To produce the fruits of freedom

 that is worth being thankful for

and that's poetiquejustis

We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other.

Romans 12:5

But Wait! There's More!

I think life has a little more to give

Samuel Johnson

More than food 

More than drink

More than work

More than rest

Life has so much more to give

And you have so much more

to give

to life

Go! Give! Live!

and that's poetiquejustis

Bur seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness

and all of these things will be added to you

Matthew 6:33

Details. details, details....

The true secret of happiness

lies in taking a genuine interest

in all the details of  daily life

William Morris

My world is becoming smaller

But it is becoming more detailed

 

 

Some days it does not go beyond my yard

 

 

And there I find a universe

and peace

 

I find that the need be seen

 

 

Diminishes

 

And the need to see

 

 

Grows

 details, details, details

That is life

 

And that's poetiquejustis 

 

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, 

and I will give you rest.

Matthew 11:28

 

Lights, action... Now what?

My life has a superb cast but I can't figure out the plot

 ~Ashleigh Brilliant

My life has been blessed with

some of the most brilliant

talented

people in the world

But I still spend half my time

Trying to figure it all out

Anyone have a script?

 for this three act play called life?

That's my question

and that's poetiquejustis 

Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

Psalm 23:6

Just a miniute

People who are unhappy

have no need for anything in this world

but people capable of giving them attention

Simone Weil

The visitor who never comes

The bench that sees no old friends

The traditions that are no longer shared

 the kid whose only playmates are animated

Got a minute?

Share it.

and that's poetiquejustis

Philippians 2:4 Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.

Sail On

Bad memories can attach themselves

like barnacles to the hull of our life

Richard Paul Evans

The Mistletoe Promise

They come when you least expect them

As you are falling asleep

As you stare thoughtfully in to a cup of cappucino

The memories

like clips from a film noir

Where do they come from

Why now, when everything else is calm

Perhaps that is why they come

- because the sea of your soul 

is calm enough for you to hear them

and they must be heard

But you....you can sail on now

and leave them in your wake

and that's poetiquejustis

"For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; 

And the former things will not be remembered or come to mind."

Isaiah 65:17

It Iis the Cat's Meow

He who has a why to live

can bear almost any how

Nietzsche

I have to admit, 

there are days 

when my only motivation 

for getting up

is that the cat

won't have it any other way

Then there are other days

where I find my purpose

in every blade of grass

There is a song in every tree

a poem in every task

But most days..

it is just the cat

whatever works...
and that works for me

and that's poetiquejustis

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

Psalm 90:12
