Good luck with your campaign Jennifer! I hope you are doing well :) This pandemic has been a struggle for everybody, but I hope this reply finds you in good health. I very much agreed with your thoughts on the immigrant camps. You seem like a very strong woman!

The transcription for this made me smile - (you know that different people type out your written words for most posts?) - they almost got it right.
You had signed, as you often do, ‘your Steve’ - when they transcribed, they put ‘your Stone’. So nearly right - but it should have read ‘rock’ - because you’ve always been my rock
You wrote that I’d always had your six - oh love, how could I not? You were always there to stand up for me - no matter what. I was always mouthy - always sorta looking for trouble, in the early days....I remember on 9th street (possibly 10th - lol) I was involved in an argument with someone about something (or nothing) - who apparently thought they would put me in my place. You just kinda strolled up behind me and rested your arm on my shoulder and gave the guy that grin (the one that meant trouble for someone) - and he was done - suddenly had something else to do. We were probably 18 then....
You didn’t know what the problem was (I don’t think I really did either, other than my mouth running away) but it didn’t matter - you were there for me...There was never a time when you weren’t (well, physically sometimes - but always emotionally) - even when we weren’t ‘together’.
When you tell me about the things, places, and times that you remember, it’s like I can close my eyes and relive those moments - those stolen bits of life. I can picture the people - the places - and, with my eyes closed, for those few moments, we are together....
I love you, my heart - I’ve loved you for almost my whole life - never anyone else like you....
Until next time - I am your

Mr Mahaffey.
My suggestions. The first book is a must read. Every human being should read this book.
The Hero With a thousand Faces. By Joseph Campbell
Symposium. Plato
Rumi, the poet, anything by him.
The Tibetan book of living and dying.
Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance. Robert Pirsig.
The Autobiography of Malcolm X.by Malcolm X with Alex Haley.
I know why the caged bird sings. maya Angelou.
1984 George Orwell
To Kill a mockingbird Harper Lee
.

There’s a few. I’ve tailored them because you are an American and I am British. The first book, The Hero with a thousand faces, by Joseph Campbell, who was an American. That book is one of the most underrated important works of all time. Campbell identifies the human being within world religions and mythological constructs that we try to adhere to. If you get the opportunity to see his interviews, that would be good too

All the best

Dear Xzyzst,
got news from rabbi stating: "right now the prison equipment is mostly broken down. I do want to point out that they will only put on what is not copyrighted. Also now we have an influx of deaf people and are now asking for subtitles."
Can you keep me updated? Big hug, hope all is fine with you!!!
