Hi, Kyle -

I'm just getting a first look at your blog. I enjoyed this post. Your life requires you to live more honestly than many of us have to. I am glad to get a reminder of that. Like a splash of ice water on the face -- it wakes me up!

Carry on! VA

I found your first blog to be very interesting! I, too, took ballet, tap, and jazz lessons growing up. I was wondering if you still try to stay active with anything?

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
