Your response to me was excellent. I'm sorry it has taken me a while to reply to you. However, I'll make sure I'm not so delayed next time.
I want to clarify that I wasn't judging you when I asked what had changed your attitude. Moreso, I was making an observation based on your court appearances and your writing now. I sought only to understand the change and not condemn you for the behavior back then. We all, me included, cope in various ways to stress. I know that some people choose anger most often because they fear, as you stated, the situation they're in. Others completely disengaged because the reality of what they're experiencing is too hard to comprehend.
I have never known anyone who has been incarcerated for the reasons you are today. The most anyone around me has ever experienced is a DUI arrest. I think it's important to understand that most people don't have a clue how you thought back when you committed the crime you did. I'm sure people ask you why your perception then was so *right* for you when social mores would dictate it was so inaccurate.
You seem to be a bright, articulate young man. You have all these years ahead of you, and most of them will be in prison. How do you cope now with the tediousness of the day to day world in which you live? Are you doing things to expand your mind? What do you read and/or study?
I have started going to the local YMCA to help me live longer. I was going through your file and found your blog. I had been here before but had forgotten about it. I have signed up to see your blog posts more often.
I need your birthday and will be writing to you soon.
I've transcribed your blogpost 'Reconciling Prophethood' today, 24 January. It's been on the Between the Bars website since 14 January, and I've only just realised you'd started blogging again. I've been keeping an eye out for your posts since you stopped and was very worried about you.
