So what you are saying is that NOTHING says I care UNLESS it is money on the canteen? Wow, now that is really Shallow.
What is a "commitment" to you? Money? That man that blogged said his family wrote over 18 years.... now to me that sounds like a real vested sincere commitment!!! And he never said they refused to send money. Don't change the words as you like to do of those who post to your blog!! As he never said that.
Your letter touched me - I cried as I read "realized what the emptiness is for us prisoners... Simple human compassion! Something we're neglected because of what we've done..."
Thinking of compassion as being able to sit with another's pain and perspective from a place of love and concern...
In or out of prison, we've all hurt somebody else. The times I can think of that I've hurt others, I've either forgotten to look out for them, or thought I was doing the best for them while being totally blind to their reality, or, in the moments I am ashamed of, wanted to hurt them. But, often because I felt like *they* weren't getting *me*! How ironic!
Why keep people in isolation and pain? Isn't it better to help people recommit to acting from places of love? (If someone in prison is even there because of something they did to hurt someone and not just racist/sexist/etc. bull**.) Your blessing has given me a piece of your spirit of love - thank you. And I send you back another piece of mine!
Thanks for writing! I finished the transcription for your post. I hope that it is okay. They have had problems with the scanner so it has cut off some of the words. I tried my best.
Thanks for writing! I finished the transcription for your post. This letter made me cry. I'm so sorry for your lose. I'm sure your mother is smiling down on you. Always stay positive :)
Thanks for writing! I finished the transcription for your post. It seems that you are determined to turn the death of your mother into something positive. If she is looking down on you she will be really proud. This new year gives the opportunity for a new you. Take care, and good luck on the life transformation, I know it won't be easy.
Hi James, my name is Marva. I'm Dana's cousin. Her father and my mother are brother and sister. I'm so sorry to hear that you were falsely accused and has spent so much if your life incarcerated. That must be horrible to be charged with such a crime especially if you're innocent. You've missed out on so much and even if you are ever acquitted you can never get those years that has been stolen from you back. Please hang in there and keep praying that somehow the truth will surface. Take care of yourself and keep your head up.
Thanks for writing! I finished the transcription for your post. Hope you are happy with it. I couldn't read a couple of words as the scanning of all the documents has been done with a gold strip on them so I couldn't see the end of every line.
Thanks for writing! I finished the transcription for your post. I hope I transcribed your script accurately, the right hand side was cut off. I tried my best. Sorry to hear that you have faced so much injustice. I wish you all the best.
