From the Desk of JEFFERY A. SHOCKLEY-[ID] SMART COMMUNICATIONS/PADOC-P0. BOX 33028, ST. PETERSBURG, FL 33733 “Don’t Give Up” (8/16/23) Hello Community, as a person serving a life sentence in a Pennsylvania state prison, it is quite unimaginable the number of things what could come to light that continues to imact us in these particular places. In spite of my own personal situation, I am here should you need an ear to listen. God Bless You in your season. ...here I entered this space and time only to find my past before me, as the future lay behind me. The direction chosen frozen with indecision and uncertainty of who it is this new place decides for me to be as the search to be free this keeps this thing in a perspective; dimming in the light of time and space. ...as time defines L I F & E where everything I could have been, should have become like some who told me not to engage in the same frames of rage; displaced agression that has cost more than the universe should have to afford in accord with the purpose and plan of being fruitful and multiply. ...here I see as the sun and moon shine behind and ahead of the life that has loved us a thousand times beforehand, still! I stand in its gaze no longer afraid of being my only one like I could have become by the same frames of being here in this here space and time that tries to define while I remind myself of who it is I am supposed to be as if to be different than who I have become by the grace and mercy of God. Amen. ...See not the trouble that could endure if let free to create expected ends to a beginning that remains possibe in the impossibility of it all before the end of this life time we must continue in. We are not given the spirit of fear, but of love and sound mind mind combined in the capacity and tenacity of being overcomers under the daily duress of the time in life that is a precious gift no matter what we go through. Amen.
