Prisoner poetry: “The Breathless Flame Doesn’t Burn”

30 March 2010
A light drizzle was falling one early summer weekend, and I did not want to allow myself to think about better places to be. The air smelled fresh and clean as I stepped out of my unit to walk the long stretch of sidewalk to the main chow hall. The wet atmosphere provoked nostalgic… Continue

Doing Time In Timelessness - The Yoga Of Prison
by Sarahjoy Marsh
The first principle of yoga is Opening to Grace, opening to the mystery that is living itself through our lives.
