Reflections From A Death Row Monk
There are a number of parallels or trains of thought that can be had from the story written in The Art Of Soulmaking concerning the word, " meek."
I first came to prison at the age of 15 and have been incarcerated for the past 43 years. The first 11 years was in open segregation while the last 30...

My Reflections On What The Art Of Soulmaking Has Done For Me
I’ll admit that I was kind of skeptical about this course at first because there are so many faith based programs out there that claim to help people but hardly ever do.
I’ll admit that taking this course was probably the best decision I’ve ever made since coming to prison. I’ve discovered things...

The Impossible: My New Reality
I woke up in the darkest, loneliest place in my life both figuratively and literally. I was 30 years old, addicted to drugs, had burned all my bridges, lost everything, and found myself on Death Row. I was at a breaking point, or what some people call the “dark night of the soul.” But, ironically...

You Are Not Alone
Anyone who needs to know, you are not alone.
Experience has taught me that life burns with an intensity of heartbreaking beauty and overwhelming pain that mere words can only whisper of. The most courageous act we humans ever commit is being born and seeing it through. I believe the questions, t...

From Scars to Stars
(1 Corinthian 2:10) “Now god has revealed these things to us by the spirit,
For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God.”
Soulfire incarnates through the scars of ancestors.
Ancients eyes study juvenile hands.
Surreal sentience.
The mirror whispers, “Am I waking up or falling aslee...

From The Ashes Rises The Phoenix
A handful of years ago my adopted mother passed away. We had a strong bond and were very close. It’s safe to say she was what anchored me and kept me going in the early years while being on death row. She was in her mid 80s when she passed away, so she had a good full life. Perhaps a year before ...

Doin’ Life In Prison
Doin’ life in prison
You ain’t got nothin’ but time
Distractions nowhere to be found
With nowhere to hide.
I find myself on the ground
Reflecting on my life
All I see is me, myself, and I.
Humbling myself now I can see how God
Led me through each and every one of those
achievements.
Everything ha...

The Sleight Of Hand
Freedom is an illusion. And not a particularly good one. Like a mediocre magician playing at wowing the audience, its true nature has more in common with the sleight of hand. We are always fascinated by the shiny object, the trending topic, or the outrage of the moment. But it’s a shell game to k...

Donny Dillbeck Was My Friend
Donny Dillbeck was my friend. A simple statement of fact but one that has profound qualities. For those of you who read this newsletter you will probably recognize the name, recently a few of his friends (myself among them) honored the hundredth day since the state of Florida murdered him. We did...
