Life's Spring by Robert G Parent
Beautiful Spring Morning
scent of lilacs in the air
the birds tweet
the news of the day.
I stand on my porch
filling up on creation's force
and realizing God's purpose for me.

from past journals of thought
from past journals of thought by Robert G Parent; the Jedi poet
I was going though some old journals typing them up into the computer in digital format and came across this article that I had to post. A tip for continuity and inspiration from your life: Go through old journals, writings, podcast, songs, books that you have written. Get to know yourself from the perspective of who you are now. Ponder on how you have grown and in what area. We all grow but its not usually where we think we've grown.
This is from February 10, 2011. I had re-written some of it to make it read better as to what I was trying to say in that moment:
Why does it need to cost 7000 dollars for a night in the emergency room? Who can pay for that in this or any economy? The insurance company. I wonder if this is free money for Doctors and Technicians who paid too much for college. The cost trickles down and adds more to the cost the consumer pays. Its not based in actual costs but, in the realness of fantasy, within the imagination where anything is possible. I too, will wait for that 10,000 dollar check for a week of cleaning toilets to pay that or any bill. Beam me up Scotty to that cheesy scifi socialist utopia of 1970's TV, where we can forever live in the illusions we create thinking that we're caring for everyone but, in reality we're not.

Clear Mind
Clear Mind by Robert G Parent; The Jedi Poet
In moments where I'm surrounded by darkness, I look to the light of soul and a new path of light opens up to me. All confusion is gone, I have a Clear Mind and nothing can get in my way.

The Greatest Gift
The Greatest Gift by Robert G Parent, The Jedi Poet
The greatest gift we have is to make the decision to create what is in our heart, mind, and soul.
To create experiences by our power of decision brings us closer to becoming one with the Creative Force, which flows through us all.
It is with decision that we are and become something new. Where we, one day, bring life to an empty Universe.

Cricket's Song
Cricket's Song by Robert G Parent a.k.a. The Jedi Poet
In the last moments of Summer, Cricket in my home sings her song in remembrance. She knows of my journey and dreams. She reminds me of the music in me, that I should sing my song not only on a warm Summer night but also, in all the seasons of my life. Cricket teaches me that it is my song that makes me unique and, it is my song that makes me one with all life.

Above, below, within, without
Above, below, within, without
by Robert G Parent
As above, so below, as within, so without
Sayings like this are good for people to continue to meditate on. To me this means, as your soul is, you will be, as you grow, so is your soul. As within, so without means to me, how you see yourself; you see your world. If you want to change your world, change yourself within - like in Michael Jackson's song "the man in the mirror". And of course how you change your world and yourself, you align more closer to your soul. Everything is connected.

A day off from work is what I needed at this point. Sometimes work can just be, well, work. I sit here listening to WGIR in the morning, my fan on me, while I type out these words and wonder about those people that need to have two or three jobs. You'd think that their stress level has to be high. That at any point they will crack, get a nervous break down, or ingest addictive substances. Do they see the day as something beautiful? The subtle changes of the seasons pass by us and teach us about life and how it is supposed to flow -- work, play, relaxation, sleep. We as humans need time to think and to ponder on what it is we see going on in life. As we ponder, we create new thoughts, which lead to new directions, which create new opportunities. All of our lives problems have solutions. We just need to slow down, ponder, and see the new direction and walk down a new path.
Sometimes I wonder if people know what life is really about. Where is our spiritual growth? In this country of the United States of America, we have freedom of religion and take our spiritual growth on many different paths but I wonder, when I hear news stories on TV...about the spirituality of Americans. This recession that we've been in for some time shouldn't have lasted as long as it does. People live too much in fear. Everyone is cutting but, in a recession we need to expand business because it is business that brings the money into our lives and into our government. It is true that we need to put government in its proper place and not expand it unless we expand business the same amount or more. It is truly and interesting time. I wonder where we will go from here.

I'm sitting here at 8 o'clock at night listening to the crickets chirp outside my window. Cars float by barely making a sound going to who knows where.
Ten years ago today a disaster no one has ever seen. Four planes, one aimed at the White House, one aimed at the Pentagon, and two aimed at the World Trade Center's tallest buildings. Four planes controlled by those who don't respect life, including their own.
How are we supposed to morn those lost souls taken from us before their time? Still after hearing audio from that time makes me cry for those lost souls and those they left behind.
What can we do? Do we hate, Love, or Forgive what happened on that day ten years ago? Each person in those buildings had to know at some point they were going to die, to not enjoy the beauty, the magic of this world. I want to know if some of them cried, or yelled at the injustice shaking their hands toward the sky, or did they have a chance to call their loved ones left behind and tell them one more time how much they loved them.
What can cause someone to kill, and even kill in the name of religion or some unseen God? What type of training did they receive as children, being born and growing up into a place full of hate and much ugliness? Is it any wonder these children grow up as they do in a world without love, not respecting themselves or any life. Maybe we should pray for healing for those lost children so the future will not see another disaster as the one that happened on September 11, 2001.
Love is such a powerful energy. It brings people together. It opens up doors for a promising future. It shows people what their true potential can be.
The sadness of that day continues and multiplies in its abundance. I sit here on a quiet night and wonder, when will the cycle be broken. A tear rolls down my cheek; I bow my head in silence; I remember.
