In mystic time our Jedi rise-not burdened by the measure. Through alchemy of old - turning lead to gold his or his heart unto a feather. As generous passages commute the illusion of life's dreary toil The fear of death, washed away - interred in reciprocal, fertile soil.
The certainty of death and the acceptance of mortality are at the forefront of a Light Jedi's mind. It is through the acknowledgement of mortality that lends an air of eternity to the decisions and actions a Jedi makes in his life.
Light Jedi meditate on death and receive death's blessing, that of a full life -lived in observance of the reality of time's fleeting and limited nature.
Carpe Diem, an often redundant phrase in the public consciousness, is nevertheless of utmost importance to the Light Jedi.
There is work to do. There is the internal work of learning to use the Force. There is the pursuit of knowledge of the self and of the world at large.
There is the mystery of never knowing when love is coming your way. There is the excitement of competition and the pursuit of dreams.
There is the acknowledgment that we are not this "crude matter" but beings of light in a human experience and the world is but a classroom.
The Light Jedi lives life in accordance to chivalrous virtues and universal values that were as relevant to the Roman centurion or Delphic Oracle or Masai tribesman or Knight Hospitaller or Kung Fu Master.
All the heroes of old were heros because they knew a secret.
A secret they practiced without fail, all the days of their life.
They practiced virtue, for virtues sake!
They could do this because of awareness of the sweetness of the richness of limited life.
A Jedi fears not the passage of time, only the tapestry unweaved, and the gift not given.
