Happy spring.

I wrote Thursday and couldn't get anything else out until today. I just had a moment, realizing how many significant things that have occurred and gone into the forever, and I was too distracted to put pen to paper and comment. I've really had my level of painful dead weight on my shoulders lately. I had a lady who taught an astrology glass show me how easy it is to see in the horoscope just how difficult it has been for me. There were all my important planets having to do with Neptune, or something like that. It meant secretive, behind-the-scenes enemy hands manipulating my life. It was an emotional time for me, to hear somebody else finally really understand. Because it had seemed for so long that either people couldn't perceive the insidious way things (read: people) were coming against me. It was the old "blame the victim" syndrome.

But I thank God that I had a course of significant breakthroughs, and I how I feel akin to the butterfly that comes out of a cocoon and can fly above the army ants and spiders that used to hunt him. To be a butterfly that was once a hairy, slimy worm is a nice metamorphosis.

I moved from California State Prison-Sacramento (New Folsom) to Salinas Valley State Prison. I had my share of complaint before. But now I realize I had it much better than I thought. The overall lesson is don't complain! Well, a new start is a good thing. At least, it can be. I'm still in significant need right now, but I have a lot of hope and a few ideas.

Wow! I sincerely intended to have time to write every night this week. But it just couldn't be. I've been worn out and weary from all of my proverbial buttons being pushed at once. I received another enlightening spiritual realization. Since I am a "believer" whatever comes about is not news to God. It's all part of the plan. I realize that this makes me sound like someone who is regularly religious. I am a modern Muslim. But sometimes after a long protracted battle, one forgets things that were even fundamental. I've decided that it's time for me to put my whole story out so, even if I'm perceived as a nut, I will know that I did my best.

It's time to mail tonight. Stay tuned!

Peace and love,
