Excerpt from a letter
The following is an excerpt from a letter I wrote to Eddie while in Mexico, while being all relaxed and sounding like a hippie.
"...last night, I could see a huge glittering line of the crescent moon reflecting off the water, with scattered yellow lights all across the hills.
"I took a long look at all the broekn down houses and buildings and poverty and almost wished I could experience it, live a different life and see how the world is outside of what I know. Strange, I know, but I wanted to feel what it'd be like to value different things because of all the misery around me.
"...You know, I've seen views like this in movies but have never actually experienced it. I've realized that just reading up on something, looking at pictures and graphs, only puts things in a small perspective. If you really want to know something as best you can, you have to do it and go through it.
"....There's so much to feel, so many things to experience, so much to get out of life, to see and hear-I wish I could live forever just to experience it all. but I guess that's what the promise of Heaven is-getting all the good for eternity, without the bad And earth is the middle ground, where you choose good or evil and by which you choose, you pick your eternity and your destiny.
"...I've been able to feel so much without any outside influence. I've felt things no drug could ever induce quite as well. I think to get in touch with your spiritual side, it's through nature and music, not alcohol or drugs. But people search for the quick way to feel anything-they get high or something, instead of taking the time to sit and think and feel things that scare them or let their mind wander.
"...I also have noticed that I almost don't hate Adam anymore. As much as he's made me feel, I'd rather just let it go. It takes too much energy to hate and be angry all the time. It feels much easier to let it all go."
