new quotes from Jerry

from a poem by Patrick Duerton: " when you walk to the edge of all the light you have and take the first step into the darkness of the unknown, you must believe one of two things will happen: There will be something solid for you to stand on, or you will be taught to fly."

William Author Ward says:" It is wiser to lead than to push, to request rather than demand, to suggest rather than insist, to inspire rather than compel, to motivate rather than to manipulate. "

Abraham Lincoln: I destroy my enemies when I make my friends."

“I’m over 50 years young. Born January 6 “Capricorn” and been in prison 23 years. 18 of those years in solitary confinement. I’m serving a life sentence without parole. I’m a Black man and a Brotha. I’m active in advocating for prison rights and prison reform which is not too popular with da prisoncrats here. I enjoy reading, studying, metaphysics, theosophy, spiritual psychology, new thought material, political progressive material, some civil and crime law but not good at it. Like self improvement literature. I’m dyslexic. 5’8” about 180 lbs. Single, never married. Seeking companionship with woman/women. Race not an issue."

Note from friend: This man is very fun to write. He is not demanding, although he is indigent and is now having many health problems in the prison. He needs an advocate. He is an excellent writer and philosopher. He is also dyslexic which gives his writing and viewpoint an interesting twist. Highly recommended.

Quotes from Jerry: “ I read the other day that we should look at this coming year as we do for a birthday present. We might not know what’s inside but we know it’s something good. Seeing it as a special gift from our source or creator. SO I’m expecting good. In embracing our wholeness means accepting de darkness as well as da light. I guess dat would be da key to life and success.”

Carl Jung is quoted as saying “One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.”

Epictetus says “the man who is not satisfied with little will be satisfied with nothing.”

Robert M Pirsig says “The place to improve the world is first in one own’s heart, head and hands.”

Clement Stone: “ In every adversity there are seeds of an equal or greater opportunity.”

Confucius: The greater the obstacle, the more glory in overcoming it.”

Art Buchwald "The best things in life aren’t things.”

William Arthur Ward: “It is often beyond our power to avoid criticism, but it is always in our power to avoid being critical.”

Jerry’s New Year advice: “The door of success swings in the hinges of obstacles. So in the New Year, Dance like there’s no one looking, Love like you’ve never been hurt,. And work like you don’t need the money. "
