St. Jailo Project: Venture Through a World of Poetry & Free Spirit Writing

By Jai Lyons and St. Jailo Project

THE BOOK

In every book there are a lot of chapters. They're so full of emotions. Read the cover before you open. It will kinda tell you what you'll find inside but books can be tricky; you might be surprised. Books are like people, they're in line with life. Everybodys a character or a chapter, depending on the book you buy. Some don't read, like thats a big surprise. They don't understand the character of their lives. It's always a trick. People think there slick. Always trying to get their way, no matter what it takes. Close that book. It was a mistake. You're the author of the book of your life. You have to be careful of the characters you choose. You don't want to be on Snapped or on the evening news. Life is funny. We all have an exit and an entrance. How the book is written has a lot to do with paying attention. Life is cruel but we have to see it through. That's how dreams come true. What you see in a character, youre probably right; never estimate the will to fight. Wouldnt it be easier just be in love with all GOD'S creation like the heaven up above? Not living in evil because we're all equally yoked with all brothers and sisters; that should mean the most. Theres so much information that you can get in a book. If it pertains to you then you might get hooked. There are so many stories that live inside me. Some of heroes, some of lies, some of love and some of pain; some of thunder and some of rain; some of struggle and some of gain. Some repeats itself again and again, another brick wall; when will it end? Not understanding the lesson is the perfect sin. Pay attention to the book. We can't give in. Life is too short. It comes with a shield and sword to fight off your demons. It tries to take your soul and mind. Protect yourself. Leave that book behind. Life can be so confusing and hard to learn. Treat others like you want to be treated; that should be rule number one. Love people like theyre your only son. Not saying fall into the trap; ask your Heavenly Father for guidance, he's got your back! There's a history book. It has guidance and survival. Pick it up, it's called The Bible.I'm saying that anything you want to find out is in there. Don't give up your search until you find your purpose. GOD'S got you on a mission, just pay attention. Enjoy your life. Live like theres no tomorrow. Keep in mind that our life is borrowed. Be a great character, it doesn't matter how long it took. Live to love. Enjoy your book

Jai Lyons

I was born in Fort Ord, California, on September 11, 1969. I was born in an era where kids really didn't have an opinion, because apparently our parents thought we hadn’t been in the world long enough to have an opinion. I grew up most of my years kind of shy, without a lot to say. I just remember the things they were teaching me and what my parent’s instilled in us. One of the main things that I will never forget was to be the very best at whatever you touch. My parents would say, “If you're not going to give it your all, don't bother messing with it, because somebody else will be hungrier and will want it more than you do.” I took those words very seriously and used them a lot in my life. It meant to me, if I wanted it, I had to go get it; nothing was going to come to me. If I wanted to keep it, I had to be the best at it. I was raised with one older sister, one older brother, and one younger brother. My mom always taught us, “one for all and all for one,” and because of that we are still very close. They still are my backbone no matter how long we don't see each other. I think that was the smartest thing my parents ever did. It made our family one powerful fist. As I went through school, it was very difficult for me to learn. I discovered that I had Dyslexia. I had to train myself to learn in a different way. I had to take special classes all through school but I graduated on time. I learned things by watching others and then mimicked those things. The physical things in my life were very easy to learn, however, the mental things, such as reading and studying, were a very difficult and a tedious task. After I graduated from high school, I started out doing various things such as a dishwasher and I became a professional Sous Chef by training under the Top Chef. I learned how much people didn’t appreciate the work that I did. I became very frustrated. I needed to find a different way to channel my energy from a negative state to a positive state. This is how I went on to moving furniture. The physical aspects that came with moving the furniture along with the caring and sharing with people helped. Eventually, I went on and got my CDL license and became a professional mover and truck driver. I never knew that I would meet so many different people in my life that would make such a big impact on me. Some have shown me the ways of how I want to be, and some have shown me how I didn’t want to be. I'm a firm believer that GOD will show you if your eyes are wide open and you're paying attention. I believe that He brings all types of people in and out of your life; it's up to you to realize what for. I made a big point to take something from everybody I met. I see myself as a man of a million people. How did I get to become St. Jailo? I was a professional furniture mover, an owner operator, for Mesa Moving, an agent for United Van Lines. I did that for fifteen years and loved the job. It was always an adventure and I always let GOD guide my way. I was the “overachiever” and I was always a team player. So one day, as a joke, my boss Tim Johnston, “my brother from another mother,” said to me, "You always have so much junk in the trunk, you should be called ‘Jailo’." What he meant by that was I was a driver that hauled a lot of tonnage. I was in the top five with hauling the most “junk in the trunk.” I like the way that sounded, so I made ‘Jailo’ mine. After moving furniture, I had so many thoughts in my head and I still have a lot of junk in my mind so I kept ‘Jailo. I got the ‘Saint’ from Saint Hilda. She was a saint that read and researched about different people in history and told the story about why she thought they were saints. By listening to her book, it inspired me to be a saint too. To become a saint wasn't going to be very difficult. Most of us do it already and some just don't know how to. To be seen, the only guidelines that I understood, was to be the best person I could all the time. Live

Dedication

First thing I want to do is give all the glory to GOD. The path he has me on is the best thing that ever happened to me. I want to thank my mom and dad by blood and by love. I want to thank my family, my brothers and sister for being the four fingers that make the fist. I want to thank my ex-wife for my whole farm, that’s all my kids and my grands, and my cousin that always gave me a helping hand. They are the ones who help me live. Then I want to thank all the spiritual beings that has crossed my path and are still in my path to help me and show me what looks like to live in the flash. The beings that love me, even the one that don’t. The ones that will support me and even the ones that won’t. I just want to thank the world for being in it. I’m living the dream and want you in it. You are my inspiration. You are a celebration. This is why you’re in my dedication. Thank you. Always stay true to you. I hope all your dreams come true. Last but not least, I want to thank Diana Harris, my business partner. I would not have made it if you didn’t believe in me and my words. I want to thank the three gentlemen for their hard work on the logo. They did a big part to bring St. Jailo alive. I want to thank everybody that has ever helped me edit my work. THANK YOU ALL for bringing St. Jailo in your life. May you all continue to dream. Follow your goals, love all your brothers and sisters; treat others like you want to be treated. I think this is the beginning of healing and will bring world peace.
