I've transcribed your poem. Thank you for your note regarding the first of the posts I transcribed for you. When I first discovered this website it appeared that none of yours had been done, but it turned out that wasn't the case. I'm so glad I was wrong. (While I was reading them, I realised it was just as straightforward to type them up, so in the end I stopped reading and started typing, which I why I didn't know until later that other people were on the case.) I'm going to keep going through your 'back catalogue' until they're all done, anyway.
I'm glad the name Lavender has happy connotations for you - it was chosen with all the connotations of the name in mind.
I wish you the best with your time spent in solitude. I also wish the best for your family. It must be hard being locked up and watching other people run free.
Thanks for your positive words. My situation is nothing in comparison but I still get down on life and living.
Life has a way of throwing us curveballs when we least expect it. I am constantly dealing with negativity. I need to take a better perspective when dealing with the bad.
I give you a lot of credit for staying strong through all of this stuff. I know my situation is completely different, but I still have trouble staying strong through everything.
Sometimes I wonder how we get ourselves into all of these messes. How if we could, maybe we would do things differently.
Please don't let your mind deteriorate, and keep positive through this long struggle.
Trevin, hello from the Netherlands. Thank you for sharing your story. I am curious about the quotation you put under your post, which reads: "The choice is no longer between violence and non-violence; it is between violence and non-existence." Can you elaborate on that, what it means to you? Also, it is a quote by Martin Luther King, who is also known for his use of non-violent methods (and also reduced to his dream speech nowadays I think). I just transcribed your latest post and read your first two posts, in case I missed you writing about it already. Take care. Julia
Thank you for your response Richard. I know it is beyond difficult to deal with the retaliation in prison. Good for you for not giving up. You should be proud of yourself. It is always a hard thing to affect change, but you are fighting for change and becoming part of the progress.
I will write a complaint and send it in next month (March).
Thanks for writing! I finished the transcription for your post. I don't know really what to say in response to your post, at first I could sympathise with a lot of what you said, but towards the end all I could see was hate. Don't let it eat you up, I know you are in a place where you don't want to be eaten up by the anger. Best wishes.
