About my sentence

Dear Realness People!

HAPPY blessed New Year to you and may your lives prosper with love, peace, growth and realness.

Please forgive me for being so tardy with the monthly letter. I have been pondering things. My life in prison, my girlfriend having decided to move on and I do not blame her. What kind of life is this for a woman to have her man in prison? Prison life and the lack of State family friendly programs takes its toll on the woman.

This I have been pondering – a lonely, long string of thoughts.

I have done my research on pardon/commutation of life sentences in California Justice system and I don't see any way or any light at this time or even ever that California Governor and Board of prison terms, would reduce my sentence.

I guess 34 years is not enough for a corrupt racist juridical penal system in America. I have to let go – let go of the illusion that such an inhuman system could see the real. I have to let go because it has started to affect my heart and spirit, my love and realness. I am not giving up on getting out of this physical prison. I will not let unrealness, hate or revenge capture and entomb my spirit and heart. I'll always have hope, but within that hope, I won't have any expectations.

I long to live in Sweden and France and visit New Zealand and Norway, and even if that never happens that's okay too. I'll let Mother Earth continue to bless me and wrap me in her blanket of air and look upon the same moon as you do. I won't forever be blocked in this body. I'll keep my art, my realness, my pen and love flowing. I'll keep loving and believing in peace.

I don't need their pardon or commutation to be free - to be real.

Again I had started to be a prisoner to your illusion of hate, sexism, racism and classicism and not to what freedom really is.

I just want to give love and share love and be love and all the rest will take care of itself! Mother Earth will bless me with Realness.

Closing Thoughts

Thank you to all Peace G´s and to all who believe in me and realness.

Stay Real

Months of lockdown

Greetings realness people. May your blessings multiply and bless everyone around you and may your walk be full of joy and forgiveness. Remember you must first forgive and love yourself before you can forgive others. One of the keys to being at peace and promoting peace is forgiveness. I think forgiveness allows you to love yourself and others. It allows you to see realness in promoting peace and growth. It allows your light to shine naturally as suns.

Prison day

Still on lockdown so I am doing a lot of travelling and seeing through my friends and Peace G’s eyes, wisdom and magic. Merging with them in realms of love, growth and realness. I miss my bird friends and fresh air and yet when I close my eyes and go deeper into the sweet darkness, I fly with my geese family over mountains, valleys and forests. I tweet with my black bird, cowbird and sparrow friends. I flutter my wings showing respect and appreciation. I keep my heart, soul and spirit open and as free as the sky. I do miss playing my flute. The day will come again.

Stay real section

Remembering Katrina, New Orleans (the hurricane).

This is America?

The hurricane in New Orleans drenched all people in hopelessness and despair – streets, rooftops and streams fat with death – black bloated bodies clutter the bridges and down the streams no end in sight.

This is America?

Some survivors rush into stores and markets to sustain their lives. The eye witness news high in their choppers reports that the white folks who rushed into the stores were securing provisions while the black folks who rushed into the stores were pillaging and looting.

This is America?

Bart station, Oakland California, six white cops have one young black man pent to the ground like a steer to be branded. One big burly white cop pulls out his gun and shoots the black kid in the head excution style on video tape. He is convicted of only misconduct and given wino time in prison, if any.

White folks rally in support of the burly cop. One white lady speaks out on the news – the cop did nothing wrong and black people made the killing racial.

This is America and its judicial system still inherently racist over 400 years. Ex president Carter speaks on that in sighs at the injustice.

This is America.

A car chase by mestesto cops ends in a drive way. A 16 year old unarmed black kid in an SUV truck surround by unlimited police cars blocking the driveway yet the cops open fire and kill the youngster, that car could have been a weapon they said.

How easy they mistake a bush for a bear. Surely, they know the difference between the sun and the moon – if the 16 year old was white they never would have shot.

This is America.

Writing stuff

No writing classes because of lockdown. Still working on poems and songs and pondering to re-write my play “The sun is shining” and also pondering how to write songs for the musical based on my book “By Heart”. So I hope people are getting copies of “By Heart” and “Longer Ago”. Both books are being promoted by word of mouth and grass roots. So please tell your friends. We will also use poems/songs from our CD’s “Words of Realness and “Freedom for the Prisoners”

Closing thoughts

Blessings and love to you all. You realness Goddesses and people and to all people who knows how to forgive themselves and others and love themselves and others – Thank you for your blessings. You keep my heart and spirit free, flowing and growing and inspired!
