"In a way I feel sorry for Leslie Parrish as her innermost private thoughts have been broadcast which have created this needing to know more about her syndrome"pyschobabble
Don't you think that Leslie knew what quotes of her's went into that book?
"What I don't understand is why people feel the need to seek others out to help them with their own elightenment."pyschobabble
Hello!!!!!------Noone does it alone---ever!------PERIOD thats why they call it relationship...those who think they do need help.
"If you really want to talk to her why don't you find a way other than badgering her to do so?"pyschobabble
WHO is badgering Leslie?----we are having a discussion. this is not about her--it's about her ideas and the gift of HER presence in ABAF!

Just a note in reference to RB as the child-leaving-self-centered guy:
On the road to achieving a sense of your highest self, you realize that the reality around you is like a modelling clay that you can reshape and change at will. I think sometimes these people that seek a higher level of consciousness (like RB) may have to squash people in their crystalized reality in order to reform the model.
Thoughts?
(I'm a huge RB fan, by the way, I'm just trying to get some feedback in reference to why he may seem so 'evil' to some people)

HMMMM Richard evil???...Naw--that is not a fit....a man who manipulated his readers? yes-- Is he paying the price--a resounding Yes! Would I like to continue to hear about Leslie and her Jouney in the Light she was obviously committed to?---thats a DOUBLE YES!

This POS leaves 6 kids because he doesn't "believe" in marriage and you bunch of idiots make an ICON out of him? You should burn every book this dope ever wrote. I've never seen such gullible people in all my life. What is wrong with finding inspiration and disillusionment in the works of one author? Abuse is out of place here or anywhere. Let "POS" stand for "purveyor of substance".

Richard Bach left 6 kids because he didint believe in marriage? What is this about? Is this true??
Its been nearly a year since my question about whats up with Leslie Parrish and since there has been no updates that I have seen--I imagine her to be happy, content and leading a life she never dreamed of before.
But I sure wish SHE would write a book.

"It would be nice if Leslie Parrish would write her own book..."
Perhaps she HAS, under a different name. :-)
Silly mortals, why do you wish, when you could have? Have you forgotten the formula outlined by Richard Bach in his book ILLUSIONS when asked about how to manifest anything? Remember the use of the imagination in imagining the desired object, putting yourself in the picture with it, and surrounding the picture in your imagination with a radiant golden light?
If you wish to have Leslie speak with you personally, IMAGINE IT SO, and surround your desire with noble purpose and spiritual high intent. Then work to bring about this higher good, actively.

Based on what I read in the "Roger and Susan" letter, it seems clear to me that Richard did not leave Leslie, but rather Leslie got bored with their life together and went off seeking a new adventure.
Also, when I read their books ONE and BRIDGE ACROSS FOREVER, it looked like Leslie and Richard had some real differences, and that Leslie was very strong willed.
I believe that Richard chose to be the gentleman, and take the social heat by making it appear that HE left the relationship, rather than the truth, which was that Leslie left it. Notice that Leslie has never made any statement regarding this separation publicly? I have never seen one, anyway.
Richard has my respect and sympathy, for whatever reason they divorced.

I came home to this email "A reply, Re: Leslie Parrish, has been posted to a topic you are watching. View it at rbach.proboards4.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&n=1&thread=1018151820Regards, Richard Bach" I'm like--WHAT? Richard Bach? Is this Richard's site? And then there's RB= Robert Burns-Guest posts... Its all too surreal. As far as Richard being the gentlemen and Leslie getting bored with the relationship and Richard taking heat for the divorce---rrrrrrrriiiight.--Me thinks someone couldnt sit through the 3 movements of a Concerto. But this post shocked me the most-- "Perhaps she HAS, under a different name. (referring to Leslie writing a book) Silly mortals, why do you wish, when you could have? Have you forgotten the formula outlined by Richard Bach in his book ILLUSIONS when asked about how to manifest anything? Remember the use of the imagination in imagining the desired object, putting yourself in the picture with it, and surrounding the picture in your imagination with a radiant golden light? If you wish to have Leslie speak with you personally, IMAGINE IT SO, and surround your desire with noble purpose and spiritual high intent. Then work to bring about this higher good, actively." Didnt they forget to say, 'Everything in this post could be wrong?' Let me go ferret it out...

SFSeagull,
You expressed a wish, and then are shocked when someone suggests a possible solution to your desire.
Why do you slap away what may give you what you asked for?
If you truly do think highly of Richard's writings, why do you ignore his suggestion of how to manifest a desired thing?
If someone hands you a key, and suggests it might fit the door you have expressed an interest in opening, why not try the key? Unless perhaps, you are not really sure you want to see what is behind the door.
The choice is always yours. I lose nothing by handing you the key. But you lose the potential opportunity of opening the door to talking to Leslie Parrish, if you do not try it.
Fare-Well. I bid you happiness, and give you one final thought-it exists within the realm of possibility for you to meet both of them, but only if you truly desire it, and work actively to bring it about.
Be Well.

I stumbled across this site while looking for quotes for a writing course I teach to middle schoolers. I was saddened to see that Richard and Leslie had divorced,but sadder still to see the vitriol in the reaction to this news posted here.
It takes an awful lot of energy to muster up the indignation toward someone's else's pain that I see here. While I think that One was my favorite RB novel, I prefer to thank him for the message and let the messenger live as he chooses. John Lennon did a lot of stupid things, but it doesn't ruin "Across The Universe" for me. Artists create outside of themselves; Bach is not the art itself, his character is merely a medium he uses for the message.
The irony is that some of the same people who appreciated his optimism now go out of their way to denounce it in the name of righteous indignation... and they're drowning out some really good music.

This is addressed to seekers. Richard Bach is a seeker, Leslie Parrish is a seeker too but little different from Richard. There are many a seekers but among the most hungry ones is Neale Donald Walsch. Has anyone read his conversations with God? It amazing and so true. No motal can write such profound truths with such sparkling clarity. Learners can learn much faster if they tried what Neale has done.

each year, I forget to watch "Entertainment Tonight" or else to verify what's leslie Parrish's anniversary. I know she was supposed to be born on March 18th or something but I wanted to confirm. Da*n curiosity. Does anyone knows if by any chance they run over that Entertainment Tonight or other show that might have mention her birth date ?
Thanks in advance.

I'm not a fan of Exaggeration Tonight, but I know that the IMDBoard lists "March 13th" as her birthday.

I too agree that not staying with your children is wrong. But that is different than not providing for them and remaining part of their lives. To stay "Dad' in all turns of events. The issue if true that I have issue with is the trading in of a woman for a younger one. And some here would wonder why Ms. Leslie Parrish would not want to expose herself here? Really short sighted y'all. Just my opinon. Being lucky enough to be in a realationship with a creature of depth and beauty coincidentally of my own age, I ask this if this person had been younger or older would that have mattered? No What would have mattered is honesty. TO self, to readers and to the other people. The choices we make in the most difficult times speak the loudest about who we are and what we have been able to grow into at that point in time. Not for a dviorce can I judge, but for the actions known and such I just wonder was I taken? Truth shines brightly even if the vessel that brought them to me is flawed. I too am flawed in different ways. My partner? She too is flawed. I just have a problem with Richard Bach finishing writing Bridge while he reportedly knew his bond was failing. My questions do not alter the beauty of the tale though. It is more than "freedom" it is LEARNING and creating a better NOW. Right and wrong we define, by doing so we determine what we value in others. That too is a freedom of learning that stuff we need to relearn sometimes. FWIW RC Flier
