very (((warm hug))) I enclose hereby, Kelly!!! May you have a happy New Year and may our friendship be a good haven.:))
All good news from you is good news for me!
Well, I spent 24 days in Indonesia! With a Dutch organization, I flew from Schiphol airport to Sumatra (very poor!), next to Java, ex-colony from The Netherlands and with a boat to Bali.
We were 8 people: two Dutch couples, my friends who invited me to do the trip, Veerle,53 and Scott, her American fiancé, a chiropractor. They live in Holland; she's is Belgian.I know her for a long time!We were with each other in a pilgrim walk towards Compostela, in Spain, from France.I did a test of 10 days; 200 km in all, while she walked the 800 km till Compostela.I did a bad fall there on my cocsis!On a pointy stone before doing a deep descent.it had rained and I slid. We had 40° in France!But we carried not too much in our backpack, since our group was meeting and our food was brought by a little bus.So great to hike in nature!Going into small churches,etc
Later on Veerle (speak out Varle) cam to visit us in ARG and the two of us went together to Brasil.We had a splendid time there!!
Then in our group of 8 were Dagmar and me, the two singles.She was two yrs younger than me, of Swedish origin, she spoke German fluently, lived as a Dutch speaking woman in Portugal, in the Algarve.She cooks there in a restaurant, also Indonesian food.We became good friends. I even gave Anneke,(Dutch), Reiki. Her husband Hans asked me. Since their 3rd daughter died on Dec. 22 on her 36th B-day from cancer.
She told me later she was able to sleep well again.We also became good friends.:)
Indonesia is such a beautiful country!Rice fields terraces,big plantations, craters,a lake, the jungle-there we saw uran utans from nearby!-they were captured and befreed again and trained to live back in the jungle.They kept the link with humans.
People are so friendly!!!They greet you holding their hands in front of their hearts.The food is sublime!I made again two friends aprt of the group.I hope I've the right addresses?Audry a painter, Indonesian.And Josephine,a French lady I met on the flight to Holland.She likes to return to Bali.Who knows with me?
Kelly, your note is so nice!So sorry you lost some property!nice you can do crochet work.And type for friends.George was out of seg after 6 months!On Dec. 15th. He has a good cellie, an ex- military.His friends gave him stuff coming out of his long ordeal.:)He wrote an article complaining about his oval diet tray.His dad sent it to me as well. what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, he told me.He is doing okay.Some younger kids came, so it's more chaotic.He is looking out to buy himself a MP3 player!!Top download his preferate music.(!)

kisses, from Rita x
In some restaurants they ate chicken, cats and dogs!!

Hello Nasir. I have read some of your blog posts and they are very interesting. I like seeing these different perspective you have on life. My name is Alyssa and I am asking a few people on the betweenthebars.org some questions for my own research and was wondering if you would answer them if you felt like it. What are ways that some men deal with missing women in prison? Do you think men change not being around women? If so in what ways? How do you think this affects them when they are released? Do you think men become more reserved or dont know how to deal with a womens "touch" when released? ;) I just want to hear your input on this out of curiosity. Speak your mind. I would love to maybe see a blog post about this too. Thank you. Hope to hear back :)

Thanks for writing! I finished the transcription for your post, and I've learned a lot from what you had to say!!!Yes,I too believe that even though many who have LWOP, should have the right to vote as well!!!They are doing the time for their crime,so they should have every chance to have their voice be herd!!!After all,they are humans too!:)

Hello Nathaniel,

I consider myself a movie buff & when I saw your favorite books were "Wurthering Heights" and "Papillon" you pique my curiosity.

Although I haven't read the books, the movies are Great. ( Reading & comprehension are difficult for me as I am dyslexic) Although I have read some, "Of Mice & Men", "Lord of the Fly's", "To Kill a Mocking Bird". The must reads in school.

As I am dyslexic my brain has compensated in other ways. I have an unbelievable memory. I have so much useless information stored up in my noodle it's nuts! .. No one will watch Jeopardy with be.

If you care to correspond and discuss a wide array of subjects I'll do my best.

About Me:

52 yrs old
Caucasian
Single
Lives in WI

King

Heard that was
Something my father was supposed to teach me.
But he left both of us
But it was a woman that use to beat me
I aint crying
You know I love you
Aint asking for credit for trying
You know a lot about what I don’t know
But let me tell you what I do know
A lot of men is incarcerated
From getting it wrong trying to impress you
One way or another trying to collect you
Connect to you, trying to forget you
Trying not to Regret that too, damn,
Burning trees, yearning for relief
From everybody trying to get me
How can I fight on my knees,
While my women is trying to kick Me
And I know I hurt you
But excuses don’t come with love
Got my heart broke too, feel me,
Sweep my pain under the rug
I know we spoke the Universe up together
I put that Prince inside you
When you was under the weather
And whether or not we ever agree on one thing
The only reason I’m known as a man
Is because you named me King
Cool? Cool, we good? Good,
The Queen’s King.

Hey,

So does he want me to print pages 1 through 6? I'll send it with the two poems.

Later,

Safiya

Hey Big Bro,

I'm sorry that I'm super late in responding to you. I'm glad you got my pics and you liked my poem! I got Xzyzst's letter too. Tell him that I will look into those books by Gloria Wekker. I also enjoyed reading his poem King. My favorite line is "I know we spoke the Universe up together..." I'm going to transcribe his poem on here and I'll print both King and Queen so that I can mail it to you. Also, Xzyzst said that your friend Julia is also helping with the project. It would be nice to meet her. I'm glad that you two have extra help!

I think I mentioned everything that I wanted to. If I think of something I forgot I'll send another message.

Love Always,

Safiya
