"An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth" has been abolished by Jesus. ;-) Has been part of the old testament. And as we call ourselves Christians, the important instructions come from Jesus and the new testament.
(By the way, that eye for an eye wasn´t an order for revenge but for limitation of revenge...)
My fiance emailed me the between the bars link and I randomly clicked on a post just to see what was on here...and it was yours. I admire your journey to figure out how to go through life - how to reach for your best self...and I'm taking inspiration from it. Thanks for your wonderful writing, for sharing your very personal story, for explaining so beautifully how someone can be spiritual, yet not religious in a traditional sense, and for working so hard to be the person you know you can be. It's easy for me to fall into phases of my life where I allow stress to overwhelm and I am anything but mindful. I'm going to take some of your writing to heart with me as I go through a relatively challenging time in my life over the next few months. Thanks...
Once released (though forever monitored for sex crimes) - you have the option to help a young child. Just kindness and within the scope of your parole - you can help people.
think about the infirm or the hurting. clean an apartment of someone who can't physically do it. take out the trash. make a grocery run (with a list and a trusted debit card).
i've read about you and your checkered past is NOT what you present here. I'm okay with that, tho...everyone deserves a second chance.

i've read your rap sheet. may i suggest you spend all of your free time in a rescue mission for the victims of abuse?
