Writer's Notebook

Do you enjoy writing or reading poetry?  Most of the posts on Big Sky Buckeye are filled with poetry, but I also share short stories, photography, and a few surprises along the way.  You are invited to sit a spell and find something you like.  I enjoy sharing my curiosity through my writing.  You are welcome to like, comment, follow, share, or reblog a post.

Featured Post

Today’s poem illustrates life’s nourishment from any given day.  Saddle up and enjoy the morning ride.    Thank you for stopping by, and you are encouraged to read more from Morning’s Sustenance.

My writing is supplemented by maintaining an active journal, which gathers thoughts from my Bible reading as well as sampling other bloggers’ posts.  Daily entries found in  From My Journal contain reflections about faith, life, and community for February 26.

You are invited to read a quote, updated on February 26 which features inspiration from the words of American jurist Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.  His reflections offer some timely observations about education and life’s outlook.

Here’s my Baker’s Dozen, featuring 13 of my recent writings from the past couple of weeks.  Each post is linked to take you right to its location.  Other poems, short stories, and feature writings can be found in the archives (found at the top of the page), which will be updated frequently with past selections.  Enjoy!

Morning’s Sustenance

Rising early

New day shares greeting

Before sun awakens

Nightly darkness retreating

 

Embracing light

Heart warmed by sunrise

Morning’s sustenance breathes

Life receives its grateful prize

 

Looking outside

Harmony’s landscape

Snowfall’s peaceful rhythm

Fresh coffee’s dreams of escape

 

Finding goodness

Beautiful day sings

Oatmeal’s filling spirit

Welcome nutrition it brings

 

Blessing this day

Outlook fills with pride

Opportunity’s charm

Joy saddles its daily ride

The main part of intellectual education is not the acquisition of facts, but learning how to make facts live.

Life is painting a picture, not doing a sum.

Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. (1841-1935) was an American jurist who later served as an associate justice on the United States Supreme Court from 1902-1932.

Faith’s spiritual passion

Daily maintenance called for

Lifting eyes up to heavens

Jesus serves as our mentor

 

Faith’s inner fire rekindled

Daily repentance of sins

Correcting compass setting

Jesus locks in hope’s linchpin

 

Faith’s embrace of Father’s Word

Daily reading offers peace

Meditating on each verse

Jesus brings truth to release

 

Faith’s encouragement rises

Daily infusion of love

Sending Spirit as our guide

Jesus shares grace from above

 

Faith’s living relationship

Daily eagerness to serve

Tackling opportunities

Jesus flattens every curve

 

From 1 John 5:4:  “For whatever is born of God conquers the world.  And this is the victory that conquers the world, our faith.”

I see a blanket of benevolence covering the planet, helping to transform Earth’s consciousness from fear to love.

From 1 Corinthians 1:30-31:  “In contrast, God is why you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification and redemption, in order that, as it is written, ‘Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.'”

Louise Hay (1926-2017) was an American author and motivational speaker.
