Everyday with poetry #7 -- Beech Street

Beech Street by Robert G Parent 

I travel down Beech Street. It's been awhile I lived here. It's weird because I travel a new road now with new experiences. 

Was this what Robert Frost thought many years ago when he wrote, "The Road Less Traveled." 

Road as an image of going to or moving away, we all have these roads. Road as an image of class of rich or poor, manicured or dirt. 

But, I think road as a journey, a journey of growth, even if I stand still before a decision. I'm still on the journey of growth, either spiritual or another type. 

Whether I go toward sunset or sunrise, my journey continues. A new road is before me. I lift up my foot for the first step, toward growth and walk a new path. 

Everyday with Poetry #6 -- Sacred Space

Check out my video where I hiked Arathusa Falls and found a sacred space in the woods of New Hampshire at ArathusaFalls

Sacred Space by Robert G Parent 

In a world of Technical and Social wonder, I seek that special space, that sacred space. 

To walk in a Church, to walk among the woods, to feel something bigger, to feel changed, I walk with purpose. 

To remember a way of being, to feel at one with the All -- with God, I crave the sacred, to be a re-plucked guitar string and become New.
