However, I'd forgotten something outside, so as I went outside, the pouring rain stopped immediately, as if just for me. As I opened the door to come back inside, the pouring rain began again. It was as though the rainstorm had stopped for me. "Very cool," I said to myself. http://www.strive4impact.com/chronicle/experience-in-the-rain.html http://www.strive4impact.com/chronicle/experience-in-the-rain.html Sun, 31 Jan 2010 15:43:01 -0700 Summer 1995 Jonathan is 15 Perceptions of Reality The way I view the world The way other people perceive me The way we each see the world individually http://www.strive4impact.com/chronicle/perceptions-of-reality.html http://www.strive4impact.com/chronicle/perceptions-of-reality.html Poetry Sat, 30 Jan 2010 15:41:34 -0700 06/26/1995 Jonathan is 15 Dear God, As I'm sitting here tonight, I realize that I do believe in you much as I always have, but I'm trying to figure out how you fit into my life. I know you're in all around me, but maybe I'm unsure of how much control I want you to have in my life and so I suppress you. Help me not to do this. http://www.strive4impact.com/chronicle/letter-to-god-26-june-1995.html http://www.strive4impact.com/chronicle/letter-to-god-26-june-1995.html Giver Of Direction Letters Fri, 29 Jan 2010 15:40:00 -0700 June 14, 1995 In Mexico on Love Jonathan is 15 In my life, whenever I go somewhere that I don't know many people, I am always on the lookout for love; subconsciously afraid that if I am not watching and looking, I may miss or mess up the chance... not by much, but I'll just barely miss it. http://www.strive4impact.com/chronicle/in-mexico-on-love.html http://www.strive4impact.com/chronicle/in-mexico-on-love.html Philosophy Thu, 28 Jan 2010 15:39:10 -0700 June 14, 1995 In Mexico Jonathan is 15 It seems that on every trip I've taken, I have seen something so significant that it has made me feel insignificant. http://www.strive4impact.com/chronicle/significance-found-in-mexico.html http://www.strive4impact.com/chronicle/significance-found-in-mexico.html Wed, 27 Jan 2010 15:38:13 -0700 May 26, 1995 11:40 PM Jonathan is 15 When people walk into my room, they may notice many plants around.

Perhaps he should be allowed to help them end their lives. Perhaps. But if Dr. Kevorkian has the right to assist suicide, then perhaps suicide should be a legalized act. In fact, if there are going to be no laws against suicide, then perhaps there's nothing wrong with committing suicide. Perhaps. But if there's no reason to say that suicide's wrong, perhaps then we should all end our lives at a time and place we choose. Perhaps. http://www.strive4impact.com/chronicle/talking-about-my-generation-stuck.html http://www.strive4impact.com/chronicle/talking-about-my-generation-stuck.html Mon, 25 Jan 2010 15:35:56 -0700 April 1995 Jonathan is 15 An eagle shot A friend in trouble And I can't find my love Good hearted people Volunteered time In this world there is a Peace-Dove http://www.strive4impact.com/chronicle/in-this-world-there-is-a-peace.html http://www.strive4impact.com/chronicle/in-this-world-there-is-a-peace.html Philosophy Poetry Sun, 24 Jan 2010 15:34:56 -0700 April 1995 Jonathan is 15 The Hypocrisy Of It All -People hate the world we live in, but only complain and do nothing more -People want peace but argue and fight with each other over small issues -People want others to create their hope for the future for them http://www.strive4impact.com/chronicle/the-hypocrisy-of-it-all.html http://www.strive4impact.com/chronicle/the-hypocrisy-of-it-all.html Angst Philosophy Sat, 23 Jan 2010 15:34:07 -0700 April 1995 Jonathan is 15 Vindication: "Is it really your right?"

If I choose to hide me inside, Maybe for fear, but not lack of pride Then I lose out because what they see is not really the person who is me. And when I lose out so do they because, perhaps, I could have helped them pray. So every day I make a choice that it's best to use my voice. http://www.strive4impact.com/chronicle/everyday-i-make-a-choice.html http://www.strive4impact.com/chronicle/everyday-i-make-a-choice.html Poetry Sun, 17 Jan 2010 15:28:56 -0700
