JT - Thank you for this valuable reminder about something that is so precious. If only more of us realized how important it is to slow down, appreciate each moment, and make the most of our time here on Earth, I'm sure we would have less suffering.

I hope you are well, and that you'll keep writing!

Alliecat wrote a message earlier today and it did not send. I wanted to let you know I saw the ring and hope you will be giving it to me. I can't remember what I said earlier but just "be true to thine self." I don't think you know who was famous and said that. To know you is to truly love you. I'm glad we found each other.

Hey William,

I enjoyed reading your blog letter. That sounds exciting traveling from town to town with no intended destination. Did you meet many other like-minded drifter types on the road as well?

I somewhat envy your experiences, the majority of my life has taken place in the same city (Auckland, New Zealand). And within that city, a busy routine of study, work, friends, food shopping etc renders most of my life playing out in the same couple of neighborhoods.

I'd like to travel more though, especially to America. Lots of our culture here (food, films, music, news etc etc) comes from America. I would like to see how America really is as most of what I know about your country comes from representations in the media or the internet.

I also appreciate good food, especially simple and fresh stuff like pasta and a good salad. What kinds of food do they feed you at the prison?

You mentioned there is very strong religious groups where you are? New Zealand is apparently one of the least religious countries in the world. We still have plenty of religious groups, but religion here seems to be on more of a personal, individual basis. You don't often hear of any religious groups trying to impose their beliefs on others. The more fundamentalist believers seem to only come out late on a Friday night holding up signs about doomsday. But they are a very small group and don't really have any real influence over others.

Do religious groups have a presence in the prison at all?


Thanks for reading, take care

Chris

Hello Oscar,

My name is Chris, I like your view on C's and D's. You are right in that a person can respond to things in different ways, it could be by giggling, getting mad or a range of other emotions. I agree in that there is always a choice to be made by a person in any situation they may find them self in. Part of this is recognizing which response will help them to make the most of a situation, or to find the response that gives them the most happiness. Whether that means learning from mistakes, giggling at farts, or taking time to enjoy the taste of food, there is always something to enjoy in life.

On another note, you mention that God created us. If human life is all about making choices and decisions, do you think some decisions have already been made for us by God?

I do not believe in God personally, but I am interested to hear your thoughts.


Take care


Chris

Hi Bobby, thanks for your posts.

I really respect your efforts to stay in touch with people outside the system. I'm a Canadian, 67 years old living with a younger woman and her 12 year old daughter.

I'm interested in the educational opportunities that are available to you there. What kind of courses are you taking / would like to take? My interests are wide-ranging so maybe we can find something that we can have fun talking about.

I look forward to reading your blog

Jean
