Connection by SF

  Connection

A thing that makes you ache even deeper then your bones is exclusion from humanity. We are all travelers on a highway with bypasses and off--ramps that lead us to connections in life, a email or letter allows us to share in the journey of humanity.

Through connection no matter space and time, we can be a part of experiences and maintain passion for life with the people of the world.

The trails we make can lead outward, but they also lead inward, often the two become one trail with a gathering force of a essential thing. I face in myself and my condemnation a passionate and tenacious longing for connection, and the power that invigorates my soul from friendship.

A email or letter can change a moment,

A friend can change a life.

There are several organizations and people that understand this in their fight to humanize those of us in the world condemned to die. As human beings this is what the word compassion truly embodies.

The true harvest of my daily life is somewhat as intangible and indescribable as the tints of morning or evening, as my wounds heal and pain recedes from me, just as memories do, like landmarks on a distant, foggy shore, I build a life doing time, the most beautiful gift of all is you.

Arizona Death Row

Update by SF

 yard update 8-20-20

Arizona will now obtain the execution drugs and commence the killing.

20 men have exhausted their appeals and are awaiting execution, Az has not murdered anyone since 2014.

This is good news to me, so that if denied I'll have a option back on the table, and that is no joke.

Yard update, good news

 

yard update, all of Lumley tested negative for covid 19

Yard report by SF

 

Yard Report. 8-14-20 We have all been tested now by nasal swab and each yard is on quarantine for the next 10 to 14 days, until test results return, then that should be interesting and horrific, due to not knowing what DOCRR will plan for us, but it will not be good, nothing good happens here. at every point there is time, and nothing else but brutal time. This becomes your normal day. You don't know who is going to open your door and everything feels like a attack against you, not knowing when, just that it will happen and that tomorrow might be worse. You stop thinking about release or seeing your family again. Your past life becomes a distant memory, like a dream. Your body doesn't belong to you, and there's no energy to talk or fight or to think about the world outside. There is only time and the numbness that comes with accepting that this is now your life. A thing that makes you ache even deeper then your bones, add 115° and very little air circulation is just another layer of neglect. which in some ways is minimal to what so many in the world are experiencing. I comprehend on a deep level the fear many are facing, with fear there is a assumption that what is happening isn't normal, and you cling desperately to the future where it will all be OK again, hopelessness is close to death for many, we all in here worry about you out there, and I pray that each of you find strength and patience with yourselves, and those of you who feel alone and isolated know that I'm here with you in isolation, in spirit, with love and beauty all around us in the smallest of things, all we have to do is look outside ourselves to see it, that can feel like a immense challenge, that I even have to be reminded of myself. "Hope". is the thing with feathers--- That perches in the soul--- And sings the tune without the words--- And never stops---at all--- And sweetest---in the Gale---is heard--- And sore must be the storm--- That could abash the little Bird That kept so many warm--- I've heard it in the chillest land--- And on the strangest Sea--- Yet, never, in Extremity, It asked a crumb---of me.

 yard update. 8-6-20

**someone on Lumley rushed to hospital with covid life threatening symptoms today at 11am, they are preparing to lock us all down for testing and to stay on lockdown until results come back.**

over 750. inmates so far in Tucson prison have tested positive.

jodi arias lifetime movie and then followed by a interview with two ex cellmates in a tell "all". airs on Saturday, will be a disrespectful event, they are two attention seeking weak females willing to say whatever to get some fame once again. victimizing the Travis Alexander family. ( let's look at their track record of goodness and honesty). I'm watching so I can know them never know what the future brings in the world of criminals and they may pass this way. we all hope so. and to be clear I do not support what jodi did, but I sure am glad she took Juan Martinez out another corrupt prosecutor.
