Boron - Chapter 25
What I have decided is, I had better not take a day off
running right now. I intend to run in the morning and fast
tomorrow. And, then, run again Sunday, even though I fasted
the day before. What I'll do I think, is I'll get up early
like (sun up) 5AM and eat a couple oranges and drink a
little coffee and maybe take warm up shower or a longer than
normal warm up walk and then run Sunday too.
Boy, did I just have a good talk! I found a guy here who is
very much like me. His life is stones, he's intelligent,
he's Cherokee Indian and he has had some "incidents" also
and he gave me some good advice. He said you can't sink to
their level. Just don't talk to them. He also said avoid
cursing. And, it's funny; he does the same stuff I do: He
runs, he pumps iron, etc. Maybe a valuable friend.
I'm so tired. I really want to get out of here now.
Since this is the last of my first batch of letters (this is
#25) to you, I am going to try and think of something extra,
maybe a little special to say.
I don't know what. Let's see. How about this? One of the
things I have learned here is how precious the good times
and the good people are. I hope I have learned never
again to not take fare of my special relationships.
Like the one I have with you. Let's remember we've got
something very special and really take care of it.
I Love You and Good Luck!
Dad
P.S. I've got four more minutes to do to get my hour
in. Let's see. I guess what I want to focus on here at the
end is my resolve to "go underground" and quietly strengthen
myself. I've really got to do it. I've got to transcend
myself.
