139 Poetic Philosophy  - a place of peace When I'm stuck in writing a poem or any other piece of writing, I come up with the idea,  maybe the first stanza, or even a first chapter, then I ask an AI client, I use Grok3, for ideas to finish the piece. Before AI, I just played around with words and ideas. With AI, I still play around with words and ideas.  AI will not think for us because we need to be the ones to initiate a project. AI can help us organize our ideas, but the words you choose are your words.  Your experience lays with how many words you put together and how well you can imagine the final piece. Remember, words and ideas can change the world.   I'm recording this while I sit here in my car at Massbessic Lake in Manchester, NH. Watching the wind play with the sailboats on the lake and the leaves flicking in the wind gives me a sense of peace.  I hope you're at a place of peace as you listen to this show.   The poems in today's show are "My Thought, " "It takes 3 to create, " and "The Hidden Person."  Remember to stay creative in the magic of life.  Thank you.  

138 Poetic Philosophy by Robert G Parent  We don't know how connected we really are in today’s modern world where everything out there tries to separate us.  Yes, we do have to stay in our metaphorical lanes so society can run sufficiently, but we are driving on a multi-lane highway, and our goals and desires are done with everyone else's goals and desires.  Remember, as you stay creative in the magic of life, respect other's spaces to be and to grow.  As the poet says,  we all work together even though we're apart.   The three poems in today's show are "Quantum Entanglement," "Living in the Story," and "Staying in the Lines. "  "Two roads diverged in a wood, and I - I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference." by Robert Frost 

137 Poetic Philosophy -- Peace be still  In the hurricane of life's activities, life keeps us off balance. But if we can find stillness within the storm, we will find a way and be a success in our endeavors. It's the storms of life that teach us how to be.   The poems in today's show are: "What Does Stay revised," "Wisdom in Stillness revised," and "Children of Creation revised." Yes, I've revised these poems from "Spellbook of the Poet" because a poem can be said in many ways and changes as the poet changes. Mark 4:39 So He woke up and rebuked the wind. And He said to the sea, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind stopped, and it became totally calm

136 Poetic Philosophy -- Hope by Robert G Parent In this podcast, I share some new poetry I  wrote with the help of Grok3 about the dark side and hope.  "The Desires of the Flesh Time" is about diabetes, but you could view this as a metaphor. "Wetiko" is about the mind virus of myth and of today.  "Guilt" is a poem from the perspective of ACIM and rounds this trilogy up nicely.  Enjoy the show and stay creative in the magic of life. "Becoming conscious of our own darkness dispels our sense of being better (or worse) than anyone else. This recognition connects us with the rest of humanity—as we are all recognized to be in the same boat." by Paul Levy and is the author of the book Wetiko.

135 Poetic Philosophy AI and Spirituality  I'm sitting in my car at a local lake, watching nature's simple truths play in  front of me. It's nice to take the slow path of summer and far away from social media.  The poems in today's show are "The Middle Way, " "AI, a mirror of me, " and "Omnipresence."

Hello everyone, welcome to Poetic Philosophy episode 134. This episode is all about the Ballad as a poetic form.  stay tuned.  I've been working with Grok3 for many hours on creating 3 ballad poems. Not just story writers spend time perfecting their work, but poets too. If you want any creative work to be as good as you can,  you have to put the time in.  Journaling and an ai LLM are good tools of any creative person.   The three poems in this episode are: "The Ballad of the Poet's Soul," "The Ballad of the Monads' Dance," and "The Ballad of Soul." 

133 Poetic Philosophy -- Thinking All the poems in today's show has to do with different types of thinking. "Critical Thinking," "Day to Day life," and "Eden's Fever." Stay Creative in the Magic of Life.

132 Poetic Philosophy  Have you felt like this? That maybe your life's been a dream. Ever since my heart operation, I've wondered this. Finally, this poem came through much contemplation, set free. Stay Creative in the Magic of Life.

132 Poetic Philosophy  The Journey The three poems  "My Pilgrimage," "A Poet's Journey," and "Contemplation," from my book, A Soul's Journey, talks of the journeys we take through our lives. We start on a path, achieve knowledge, turn that knowledge into wisdom, and in reflection of that journey gain an understanding of our life. This time, times of the past, and those times yet to come teach us something different, which is added to our individual and collective knowledge and again when pondered on gaining understanding.  This is the spiral of life as life continues to bring us new knowledge, new wisdom,  and new understanding. I hope you enjoy this show. Thank you for listening and stay creative in the magic of life.

The Middle Way is the way of the universe. The universe seeks balance in every way. Lessons again, from Star Wars. Hopefully, they will go in this direction.
