MY PICK OF THE DAY

Christmas 2024: What It Is

Original work by Just Jean 12/25/2024


A Reflection from Just Jean:
"This poem reflects on the evolution of Christmas and the acceptance of what it becomes each year. As much as we may long for the past or anticipate the future, Christmas is what it is—a reflection of our reality, even when it feels far from the joy we long for."

Christmas is not what it was—
The Christmas Past.

​

It will be what it is—
Christmas Present.

​

And it will be what it will be—
The Christmas Future.

MY PICK OF THE MONTH

Water Your Soul

Original work by Just Jean 07/02/2015


A Reflection from Just Jean:
"Water Your Soul" came to me during a moment of stillness, as I reflected on how we nurture ourselves through life’s daily challenges. Like plants needing water, we, too, need care and awareness to grow. This poem is a reminder to trust the unseen movement of growth beneath the surface and to remain open to the paths that unfold before us.
