Honestly I wish you were closer. I would come see you. As it is I would have to drive 12 hours one way. I never thought you were a bad person just a god awful husband and you forgot to be a dad while chasing your whores. You were young and stupid in that way.
Patrick....we met at Kairos in SQ when we sat at the same table. You gave me this address and I just started reading your work. Thank you an I'll keep reading. In Christ, Roger
so true. people think that just because we are "prisoners" that somehow we lost all of our humanity. Not true. We got caught. That's the only difference between "us" and "them"! Very nicely written
so positive. There is a reason for everything. Growth is painful, but it sounds like you're making it through and making the best out of the situation you are in. God is good, but you know that. Hang in there man, this too shall pass!!
Beautiful poetry! It is so true! Everyone has an angel and a devil on each shoulder. Some people hide it better than others... but does that really make them better? I vote no. We are all one, just with different resources and opportunities. But they cant hide forever. Hang around a person long enough and their true nature comes out. There is good in everyone, just like there is bad. Focus on your good, its there!
Boy isn't that the truth. We are told to do things in prison and because were in shackles its acceptable.... but once we've paid the price of our crimes, back into the world we go with a big stamp on our foreheads: damaged goods, violent criminal, dangerous! We pay for the rest of our lives for something we had the misfortune of getting caught for. meanwhile the doctors and lawyers of the world keep on making money because they simply did not get caught!
