Hi Elsa, Susan from Canada here. We spoke via Zoom before I went to visit Ed W in Mariposa Detention.Thank you for that, and for all else you do.

I will soon write to the Prison Ombudspn.

For no I just hav a simple question. You mentioned a month or so ago, …new tropical home… Something like that. Have you moved?

I’m now in Baja Mexico, but heading back to Canada soon.

Hi Susan, Thank you for your plan to write to the prison ombudsperson. I've heard that the ombudsperson doesn't deal with the prison Ed is in!!! Someone who called was told to deal directly with the prison (what!!) and then to deal with a judge (who said he was the wrong person to deal with). It is utterly frustrating, trying to help Ed, Help should be there, and there is that big ombudsperson website!

Dear Elsa, Are we far too intelligent to connect with the "average" person?

BABY BOY RESURRECTED

I and the public know what all school children learn,

those to whom evil is done do evil in return.

In his poem, September 1, 1939, published just before Ami’s birth,

did Auden dismiss terrified-toddlers might become blessed with mirth?

His Pa and Ma made the deadliest of all possible sins, ensuring Ami to fail.

Even so, he would grow tall and strong, and no one ever landed in jail.

His uncles secluded Ami in mud, manure, mice, over triggered-dynamite.

What guided his trauma-locked consciousness during decades of fright?

Near-deaths, bombings, floggings, homelessness, hunger, hardest slavery

solidified Ami’s life-long patience, honesty, bravery, and empathy.

His imagination soared out of untold numbers of books while he suffered.

Did Earth-connection, walk-abouts keep Ami from feeling too battered?

The shell of to whom evil is done slowly cracked from unbearable pains.

Sprouting spirituality and intuition that propelled miraculous gains.

Discernment and Universal Connections enhanced Ami’s Blessedness.

What gave him the strength to conquer Lonely Learned Helplessness?

Divine guidance led Ami’s transition from shyness to slowly grow bolder.

Wonderment surmounted onslaughts on his wellness while getting older.

Doctors diagnosed It’s all in your head until he could no longer cry.

They dug into books and could not find his What’s, How’s, Why’s?

An unknown Angel phoned Ami to say: Chemicals are making you sick!

He quickly grasped the seriousness of the global science pandemic.

His longing for true health pushed him to grow only the purest nutrition.

Did earth’s bounty add decades before his undertaking with a mortician?

Ami’s compassion desires to share reality lessons with a forgiving spirit.

Once with an ailing preacher who became too nervous to hear it,

the secret of avoiding the Human Collapse Disease-Disorder death.

Why did life-saving tips cause: You scare me! and not under his breath?

Do you know that belief entrapments cause people to suffer?

Do you want to learn lessons that Ami can offer?

Could you endure his Hells, without bitterness, going insane or die?

Ami, what else am I?

You start by asking: Are we far too intelligent to connect with the "average" person? My sense is that sometimes I can connect with the "average" (brainwashed) person.

You also ask: Do you know that belief entrapments cause people to suffer? Yes, I know that.
