There are no words

I found that I could say things with colors and shapes

That I couldn't say in any other way- that I had no words for.

Georgia O'Keeffe

Words can be highly overrated

 

They can be overused

They can build a wall

And the right ones can be hard to find

 But there is something about a sunrise

 and a rainbow

That everyone understands

When the world seems so full of darkness that words no longer cheer

Consider....

"Clouds come floating in to my life no longer to carry rain or usher storm

but to add color to my sunset sky." R. Tagore

And that's poetiquejustis

Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.

“A person’s words can be life-giving water; 

words of true wisdom are as refreshing as a bubbling brook.” 

Proverbs 18:4

 

Making the Least of It

 

I make the most of all that comes and the least of all that goes

Sara Teasdale

Coming and going

Life's ebbing and flowing

The rising and falling

Waking and sleeping

Giving and taking

It is all within your reach

If you only let it go

and that's poetiquejustis

  

But the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth

 and the desires for other things 

come in and choke the Word, making it unfruitful.

Mark 4:19

It Never Gets Old

If you carry your childhood with you

you never grow older

Abraham Sutzkever

 

 

A poem

A story

A smell

A taste

A memory-

have one!

to get you through the day

and that's poetiquejustis

I remember the days of long ago; 

I meditate on all your works and consider what your hands have done.

Psalm 143:5

 

Let the Sparks Fly

“At times, our own light goes out and is rekindled
 by a spark from another person. 

  Albert Schweitzer

 When the days are dark

You can be a candle in the window

When the nights are long

You can be someone's dawn

When the clouds are shifting

You can be the rays of hope

Today, you have the chance to make someone grateful for a ray of hope

And that is something you can be grateful for as well

And that's poetiquejustis

Let your light so shine forth before others that your Father in heaven may be glorified.
Matthew 5:16

 

Believing in Life

Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact

William James

There are times when it is not easy to believe in life

It is not easy to go on

To know why

or how

or if

Yet

We struggle

We press on to the summit

We persevere through the darkness

We smile and we laugh and we sing  and we are human

Until once more the light breaks through and we remember that life after all 

simply is
very much worth living
and living well

and that's poetiquejustis

The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it.

John 1:5

 

There All The Time

If we go down into ourselves

we find that we possess

exactly what we desire

Simone Weil

We are what we take in

We are what we embrace

We are what we believe

We are the one who made those choices

We are exactly what we desire!

And that's poetiquejustis

As a man thinks in his heart

so he is.

Proverbs 23:7

 

Follow the Flowers

Earth laughs in flowers

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Flowers get it

Slowly becoming who they are

Never resisting their calling

They spend their lives reaching for the sun

They  understand that a little rain must fall

Jeremy Betham said: Stretching his hand up to reach the stars, too often man forgets the flowers at his feet

That would be sad

Because they have so much to teach us

                                                              and that's poetiquejustis.

Behold the lilies of the field

Matthew 6:28
