Navigational Starlight
Stars of the galaxy
Galaxies of the universe
I clutch single rays
To sketch star charts
Of limitless life.
Open. Open wide
Scope of soul
For ray of distant star
I absorb you
To feel your warmth
To hear your melody.
Why
One might wonder
Why one does
What one does,
and while one wonders
why one does
what one does,
One will find
That one has done
What one was doing.
Greetings Inhabiters of Earth, henceforth to be known as Earthlings, I am Ward Joseph Jarman, named in honor of both of my grandfathers: Thomas Ward Jarman and William Joseph White. I am the father of twin sons each of whom has my name split between them via their middle names. One has the middle name of Ward and the other has the middle name of Joseph. I am keenly and tightly enthralled with history. The flow of history is actually akin the flow of evolution just like the water cycle of Earth evaporates water from the great oceans, seas, lakes and rivers to fall back as diverse forms of precipitation.
During the course of the evolution of my consciousness, I was informed by my most favorite English Studies professor that writing was quite easy if you had clarity of mind.
Thinking clearly about your chosen topic was the core challenge to master. I have found this guiding observation to be too true! Hence creative writing was the vehicle driving my consciousness for clarity of mind.
I am 73 going on to 74 and I began my journey through creatively seeking clarity of mind during my high school years of 1965 – 69. The anthology of this journey is encapsulated in One Bipedal Journey with the composition Air which would become the first third of Three-thirds of One-third Three Times. Three-thirds of One-third Three Times was the first step taken around 1968 and continues one step at a time through One Bipedal Journey which ends with The Divine Paradox (© 2020). My last major manuscript completed thus far is What Is the Function of ____? (© 2024). This blog is the record of my consciousness evolving throughout the events of my life that has formed the mindfulness of this old man.
Art and Resonance
Art is the quintessential form of self expression, no matter what the media. As such, it is truth, refracted through the prism of an individual’s life experiences. For this reason, art cannot be evaluated quantitatively, or qualitatively. Its resonance with an individual is the essential function of art. This resonance is the product of the interaction between the viewer/audience and the manifested art in its native form. In short, the ongoing function of art is the continuous conversations/interactions that the piece of art has with the audience/viewer who is interacting with it at any moment in time.

There are 3 movies:
Laced in this trilogy of demonic life that is excruciatingly hellish is the accurate demonstration of Newton’s law of motion: for every action there is an equal, opposite reaction that is not just a law of physics, but, also, of culture, society and homo sapient life.

Learning precedes development.
Hence community development is dependent upon the development of the individual self which in turn depends on the quality, quantity, and diversity of the learning achieved by each individual which populates the community.
Economics, by definition, is the system by which goods and services are distributed throughout the community.
Aspects of self-development:
Self-sufficiency,
depends on: Self-actualization,
which depends on: Self-determination,
which depends on: Self-reliance,
which depends on: Self-regulation,
which depends on: Self-discipline.
All of which improves Self-defense.
Reading manuscripts in English flows left to right, and top to bottom of each page. Therefore, the structural key to comprehend the full meaning of Creatively Seeking Clarity of Mind begins with the top of the first column (Scraps of Reflections) of the menu of items that constitute the journey toward clarity of mind and next proceeds to the top of the next column (One Bipedal Journey) to be likewise experienced, and so forth and so on.
Content density proceeds to build as progress flows from left to right. Once Scraps of Reflections is opened by clicking upon it, Evolutionary Steps will be encountered just after the poem, A Scholar’s Loss, to foreshadow this structural key.
Incidentally, the photo with the words, “It All Starts Here” is written upon a homemade pad of pages cut in half from previously rejected typed manuscripts. It is upon this homemade pad of recycled scraps of paper that I make the first stroke of my pen of the first word beginning the first draft of all of my poems before they are rewritten by hand on a different legal sized, lined pad for the second draft before the third draft is typed to be proofed and polished.
