How Art of Soulmaking Changed My View of Life and My Incarceration
To All Seeking Unconditional Freedom,
Hello! My name is Jeffrey Yasmine and I am from South Carolina– Lexington, South Carolina to be exact–a small town outside the capital city of Columbia. I am currently serving a 10-year sentence at Broad River correctional facility. To sum up what got me her...

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...

Born Anew
What does one do when time doesn't stop?
When the very wheels of fate turn—yet never move.
How does one see when there's no light to be seen?
When the cold embrace of the tomb
Isn't felt in the embrace of death?
A living death.
One day at a time.
Until—
Rebirth.
First steps in a new world,
Sights...

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...

Kudzu and Bamboo: Invasives, Implementation, and Integration!
A Look at Nature’s Solutions
Down here in the South—and all across the country, really—farmers have used windbreaks made of trees and shrubs for centuries. When I was a kid, we’d travel on summer vacations to Iuka, Mississippi, to visit my mom’s side of the family. Along Highway 82, we saw Kudzu ...
