“I appreciate you because you didn’t have
to do and teach me the things you have. I am thankful to have
met a person like you. It’s people like you that make people
like me change their ways and go on the side of good.”
“Patrick,” Graham Correctional Center, January 6,
2006.
“Thank you for all the love, forgiveness
and acceptance …that it would take you to visit me. I was
nervous at first, as I gather you were also, but I found it really
satisfying to be able to sit and chat…I know you were probably
tired but I could’ve sat and talked for hours more. For
once in quite a while, I didn’t feel like that round peg
in a square world. I felt at ease, accepted, and understood.”
“Jerrod,” Mule Creek State Prison, Ione,
CA, May 29, 2005
“I want you to know that I really
appreciate it when you write me so I wanted to say thank you for
what you are doing for me and the others…Most people just
dismiss us as a failure of humankind. Although some may be, the
vast majority just simply made a bad choice.”
"Jigs,” Mule Creek State Prison, Ione, CA, Dec. 25,
2005
“Praise be to God! I received two
books Friday…I received volume one and two of Eternal Wisdom:
Upadeshamritam. I was so surprised when the guard opened my door
and said, ‘This package is for you.’ …The moment
I gazed upon Amma’s face I was smitten with a deep wave
of affection. Even looking at her face as I try to type this letter,
I feel lifted.”
