Dear Friends!
I want to assure everyone that I am of sound mind, but deeply committed. I'm not crazy, other than the crazy self that you know me to be in personality and free spirit. My emotions are stable. There is no venom in me, but there is distinct and profound resolution. Fighting narcissism--I don't want to be that way--I believe there is a principle and cause here. I am absolutely committed to the greater good for everyone involved. It's not about keeping myself out of jail!
Last weekend in jail, the 60th consecutive weekend for me (btw--the guards tell me I have the record for "weekenders;" they can't believe I've been given the punishment I've been given for the "crime" committed, when they know who passes through their doors routinely.) I finished reading David McCullough's book, "1776". You're talking about "commitment!" I know I'm not fighting for a political country, but I am making a stand for the "country of my soul." What I'm going through is nothing compared to those patriots. Our great U.S.A. is a miracle! As a microcosm of freedom from tyranny, of confronting decent, good, and right dealings in human relationships, I am committed to "crossing the Delaware" for a cause that needs to be fought for the greater good for everyone involved. Again--I don't mean to exude self-righteousness!
It's time to stand up and speak out! It's time for this to be reconciled. I'm ready to go back to church on Sundays. I'm ready to live without wondering when the next legal documents will be cowardly ambushed on me, rather than giving discourse, reason, and respect. I'm ready to do right and good within reasonable parameters of my resources.
I'm only "frayed" because of the overwhelming details of moving my Mom and her things out, of getting my own things moved into storage, and the taking care of personal affairs. Emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually I am strong and stable, firmly believing and totally resolved--come what may--that better days are ahead and a tyranny has ended.
Thanks for all of your mailing addresses! Thanks for your emails and phone calls. Don't mean to ignore you at all and I will get back to you as soon as possible. I know this is discomforting to you. No one likes to be involved in conflict; it affects all of our emotions. Thanks for the emotional and spiritual support you are so overwhelmingly giving to me. It is needed, despite my strength of resolve. Thanks for your offers of help in so many ways. I'm deeply grateful to have you in my life.
Notice will be sent out as soon as possible concerning the outcome of the court proceedings this coming Friday.
Love and Respect for You,
