I enjoyed reading this verse. Thank you for sharing it with us. I am one small voice from society that agrees with you entirely. How uninteresting would our world be if everyone was as uninteresting as I am :)

Thank you for coloring my world and showing those of us that try our best to understand, that the world holds many and varied forms of beauty!

What a beautiful and inspiring story. Thank you so much for sharing this with us! I had no idea you had drama groups in prison but it makes perfect sense to put your time into something constructive that can entertain and inspire everyone involved, in many different ways.

To address your point of those leaving your group I would like to remind you that we all have people coming and going from our lives, it's no different out here (my best friend just moved 1000km away for work & I miss her) we just need to be thankful for the times we do have with each other and treasure the memories we will always carry with us.

Do you know if there was any media coverage (in a local newspaper maybe..?) of your performance? So often good news stories like this one get overlooked for the more sensational, headline grabbing issues, but I always look for stories such as yours. Thank you so much for sharing Raymond! I'm really glad that participating in this project has given you so much, just as I am sure all who watched your performance felt pride in their loved ones as they left that night. Your story warms my heart :)

Gary: You are doing well with your writting on Between the Bars. May it encourage other who May be able to read your words and those of the Lord

Good points! I would add incompetence to ignorance, and other words like distraction and preoccupation, etc. Discerning another person's motivation is always a risky business!
Prayer and patience are helpful.
Love,

I praise you for your strength. I can't even imagine what you are going through. To be in prison is one thing but to be trans and in prison, must be on a whole another level. I will pray for you.

Reading from sunny Florida,

Thanks for writing Thomas!

I received your letter today. I'm not sure how, since it arrived with only local postage on it, but well done haha.

I transcribed this post for you today in an effort to try and understand what you're saying here, but I'm not sure it's helped. I did comment before on how you had a talent for putting a little distance between yourself and your subject matter, but maybe this one's gone too far because I'm not sure I fully understand what you're saying. I feel like I'm going around in circles. (But I'll keep reading & keep trying ;)

I'll write again soon.

Your process of dealing with your cell mate seems correct and in keeping with your values. How did he receive your pointing out the inequities of his arrangement? Was he willing to correct the situation? Was peace restored?
Love,
Russ, Sr.

Thanks for writing! I finished the transcription for your post. Nice reference to Orwell's 'Nineteen Eighty-Four' by the way :).
