Hi Rick, I thought I would take a moment to share with you some the thoughts and inspirations of a close bud of mine and Ashley's and perhaps others you knew for Justin or Justin the Okie or for me just plain Justy was well known and one could not help but care about him. He has departed this physical world but he lives on in many hearts.
Rick, God doesn't hate you cause God is LOVE pure, selfless unconditional LOVE. We are here for a purpose, to learn and to progress and because God chooses not to interfere with what we do or don't do during our time in this physical realm does not mean he does not LOVE us or that he 'HATES' us. We would not learn or advance spiritually if God was there to make everything RIGHT - that's for us to do and rather then cry about all the wrong and injustice in the world - my suggestion is that you read what Justy wrote and think about it.
Moments after viewing "Paul Monette: Brink of Summer's End" before the tears on his cheeks even had a chance to dry he was inspired to write a poem which he dedicated to Paul Monette interestingly enough titled "INSPIRED".
The page below "Dedicated to Paul Monette" is as Justin wrote it and was salvaged from his website that tripod had thrashed by a good friend of ours Ali.
Rest in Peace Justy
Your time was short but you did an excellent job while here.
"We'll miss you Justy"
Dedicated to Paul Monette Writer, poet and AIDS activist. Died in 1995 from AIDS with his third lover at his side, having watched his first two die of the same disease.
"In the face of injustice, not to be angry, is injustice."
......Paul Monette
"Go without hate, but not without rage. Heal the world."
.......Paul Monette
Inspired
Too cold to live,
too cold to die.
too cold to fall,
and too cold to fly.
The cold bears not on skin,
because frozen is the heart.
The icy circles are run,
only to finish where we start.
We run for reason,
we run from our lives.
We run away from others,
to sprint to the lies.
We feel guilt to the world,
not good enough in its eyes.
For the world bears the frost,
to inflict the cold we despise.
So fight the world!
Break the chains it cruelly bears!
Your heart and rage are all that stand,
to fight this world's heirs.
...Justin David Vaughn
To note, the above poem was written by me minutes after watching "Paul Monette: Brink of Summer's End" and obviously inspired by the two quotes above it. I recommend everyone watch that show. Movies very, VERY, rarely make me cry. It certainly did though. Several times. If you can gain nothing else from reading any of the above or from watching that show, then simply carry with you the message: CHANGE SOMETHING
