My dearest love (my only love)
Still sickly - haven’t gone hardly anywhere...well, I did get to go and have a colonoscopy - Skye got to drive me! He told me all is well - don’t have to see him (for that) for another 10 years! At least I was sedated - so I didn’t feel anything! He did say I have minor diverticulosis - but didn’t seem worried about it. Said to start taking Benefiber so I guess my diet doesn’t provide enough. Oh well - just one more thing to mix up in the morning.
Hmmm - it’s 11 PM on Friday the 13th - I can hear the thunder now (been raining most of the day) so I’m going to send this now before the internet goes out. I’ll write more either tomorrow or Sunday so it will go out this Monday

I love you so very much
Your Jeannie

Hello Nathaniel
The thing with ageing is, realistically we’re not supposed to live beyond 38. It is medical science and chemistry that has prolonged our lives into the eighties, (for some).
Like a car, into my retirement sixties now, pieces fall off. get blocked, or just fail to start. Now I’m an old codger, complete with walking stick, shopping trolley and limp, Many of my friends never made it this far.
Have you ever considered the possibility that jail may have prolonged your life? Maybe in the outside world of nonterra firma you would have been ‘toes up’ by now and sprouting daisies?
Inside my head isn’t a great place. I dislike silence and introversion. I like chanting mantras, OM namah Shivah, Nam myoho rengay kyo. Among favourites. That’s why I don’t meditate. I think I would go quickly insane in a SHU. It’s my ambition to retire to India, live in a nunnery among fellow Buddhists, I’ve spent time like that before in my life, Marriage killed off the celibacy! I think my husband will probably follow me there, he’s Muslim but quite open minded and accepting of other people and their faiths. He does like vodka though, and they don’t have much of that halfway up the Himalayas! Also, being in India and dying there increases my chances of being reincarnated nearby. I don’t want to come back here, in the west. It’s not good here in the most important of ways,
Buddhism appealed to me because it makes the most logical sense. ‘God’ or whatever this energy is that created everything is something we lack the intellectual ability to understand. Look at a human being, then think about those microbes we cannot see that live on its eyelash. Starfish, wombats, skunks, snakes, stink bugs, fireflies, whales, peacocks, ants. Did you know that the domestic ant has a lifespan of 15 years? It lives in a community with others, they even perform surgery on each other. A honey bee lives just one month.
What we evolved from in just 200,000 years, yet most other species stayed the same. We are consciousness. This is a video game. We didn’t choose the game, but we can choose how we play within in.
Most of us have had troubled childhoods. It is the 1 percent that get raised by Ma Walton. Polishing your legacy doesn’t have to be done confrontationally. Look at what Gandhi did by non violence.
Going by the turn around on this blogging site I will probably hear from you sometime in 2020 if we both make it that far.
All the best. Hope Christmas is good for you, although Santa probably has you on his naughty list, Happy New Year and all that.

hi Michael,

I just bumped in on your name, a while ago.:) Going through the list of inmates with a blog here. I am a pen pal of some few other friends here.
I am Belgian, but I lived 7 yrs in the US.3yrs in Utah and 4 in Ohio.
I read with a lot of interest what you wrote!The nature describing is great. I also traveled a lot in my life.
I don't know how you're doing right now? You can tell me on this blog.
I could see you didn't get any answers, which is a shame...
Eventually later we can write letters as pen pals.- smile
I really hope to hear a message from you.

Take care and know I care.

All the best! Kind regards from Rita!
Ps. I also wrote poetry in the past. :)

hey hey hey Kelly, Sometimes I couldn't read too well your writing.You used to write neater,you know.Indeed I haven't been here for a while.
You fell out... How do I understand this better?Do you take drugs or so?I should read other notes to see what happened with your friend? It seems hard to maintain a friendship in a prison?
Anyway,I guess you can explain me better in a letter,eh.Still doing your writing job?I saw your new picture; did you loose a little weight?Or were you always that thin perhaps? Let me talk about my side of the world.Did you get the letter I sent you from my hotel in America not too long ago?I had a pleasant staying there!And brought 14 visits of 6 hours every time!Till now I STILL haven't received any news about the Paroling!Why taking so much time to do so!??It's waiting for ever,so it seems. :(If only the news will be positive.WE hope.T taught George French.He thinks it's a romantic language and he loves to study it.I gave French lessons while visiting.With writing with crayons on white paper;this is meant to draw for children when visiting somebody.We had plain fun! We had lots of talks about music!He' s such a musical mind.He lately typed a LOT of songs for me!When they would release him- he has a very good chance this time!- I'll travel for a 'short' 3 months to Chicago.He will need help!:o Later AGAIN about 3 months more. That is the maximum time I can stay in the US.Like a small 6 months per year that is.My ex, will buy an apartment where I live,to avoid the high taxes they raise in Argentina!He can avoid these by living MORE than 6 months is BE.Well, he can live in my apartment,while I cross the Atlantic ocean.That would be the very same period of time.:)I swim in cold water in the pond here in the park nearby.I am thus a so called 'polar bear'.It's fantastic,I love it!I care on some Saturdays for a child,just 3yrs, Alice with my healthcare organization.She is retarded.And has a piece too much on chromosome 15!She can't walk,nor speak.Also has autistic traits.But by now she fixes me and made a lot of improvement!
She's a real darling!Her mom is sick most of the time.I take on me the role of a mom right now.:)This coming Saturday I will take a Dance Theater workshop.Georgina had an injury,and we get a man,22 who won a few choreography prizes!Wonder...
Kelly,take care,I care!Keep up the good spirit!A saying for you:'Out of the dark a light broke through and it illuminated my path'.- Khalil Gibran.Know him?
