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.
hi, I know your son very well, I am married to M.C Simmons an we was reading what you wrote an feel that what you wrote is true when the lights go out the world close you out until the next time that they hear something bad about a black man. thank you for sharing that with us....... you can write if you can at.

I am really impressed by your artwork. I especially like bird over river. I don't know your story but I encourage you to keep painting as you have a natural talent, and as an artist myself I know how art can transport one to another world while in the act. I love the way I lose track of time while I am painting or drawing. I hope you have enough paper and supplies to continue. Keep the creative juices flowing. Kathleen
Hi Wil, Sorry for the gail force incoming things. Actually, I think it built up on your end and then you got it all at once. But, you are right, I shouldn't overwhelm you with so many things at once. Yes, it does seem like things are coming together and something has changed overall in your life, with family and everything. As you probably already know, things in this universe do not stay the same and are either getting better or worse. Now that they are getting better, we should continue doing the things which made this happen in the first place. Have a look at the "Conditions Formulas" in the Ethics book. We can MAKE these dynamic things happen and be causative over them.
I thought that I might put quotes up here once in a while of workable things that can be used from this technology and have put one such quote at the bottom here. These will be random quotes of truth for all to think with.
Yes, the book with the lecture helps gives you complete understanding. As far as why it took so long to get this; better late than never. Of course, those who have impeded the dissemination of this information will have a stiff price to pay. On going slow: just make sure you are clearing up all the words and using them in sentences in order to make them your own. That is the secret of retaining the information; making it your own.
Nice drawing, once again!
QUOTE:
“Very often playwrights come along and they tell you, 'Well, if anybody told the truth for twenty-four hours without any difference whatsoever, he would lose all of his friends.'
“And it's one of the old-time favorite themes in this universe, because they're trying to establish the validity of the lie. ...
“In the first place, if you really insisted on the truth, you would wind up at the end of that twenty-four hours having some friends, where you only thought you had before. But it requires a very strong man to enter into the first part of that. Because it's repercussive.
“I've told the truth to somebody and had them scream enough to take the roof off. By the time you've told them again four or five times, they eventually listened. Then it didn't seem so much.
“It is stepping back from the establishment of truth that pitches one's heel over the edge of any grave he may fall into. That is the way down.”
