Is it really possible to predict the path one’s life will take? Or maybe we never actually had to live in margins. Still, most of us had some vision for the future regardless of the circumstances some married, others pursued careers, successful ones. Although we may have had our doubts, but certainly hope in our hearts. No one dreams of or aspires to bad choices. Those of us living behind fences and walls perhaps never imagined that imprisonment would become our unique reality. Yet at the end of the day, it is.

Could I have known that prison would become the destination of a journey set in motion. Yet, still this detour may have started the day when, as a child, fear grabbed hold of my heart and would not set it free. I may never come to understand the ultimate birth of this spirit of self-destruction, that something or lack of something within allowed the expressions of my worst impression. Just the same, this prison journey must come to represent my own changing season — the last great opportunity for inner transformation.

In the outside world, summer has become fall, which becomes winter and then spring… it’s changing seasons in this season of change.

“Remember I live vicariously through you”.
