Surviving Jail or Prison: Thinking About my Life

By C. Mahoney

Is someone you know and love in jail or prison? Are you looking for a study guide to help them make better choices? Do you want to show them that you care about them and want the best for them? If so, then order this book and send it to them. It is filled with the wisdom of Walt Whitman, Rumi, Martin Luther King Jr., Robert Frost, Paulo Coelho, Anne Frank, Mother Theresa, Mark Twain, Aristotle, William Shakespeare, Jodi Picoult, Ursula Le Guin, Nicholas Sparks, and more. Each quote is supplemented by a wildlife photo that I took while walking along a trail at a lake and questions on the main idea, the emotion or feeling that the words arouse, and the personal relevance of each of the wise words to the past, present or future of your life. Here are the words from the first page:Today, these walls, the people who pass in front of you, the demands and arguments and frustrations that seem so important...are all just temporary. They are like the wind you felt as you walked along the sidewalk, touching you for a moment and then gone, remembered but irrelevant anymore. You can't stop any of life's moments and make them continue and you can't relive anything from yesterday. You awoke this morning to find that everything from yesterday was gone, vanished, the words that bothered you, the hunger and unfulfilled expectations, the pleasures that made you smile or laugh or shout. What awoke with you this morning is only you, not the same you that awoke yesterday but a new you, changed, altered, different. So don't get too worked up about all of the monotonous drama and disorderly order of today. Deal with it; work through it survive it. You will face a lot of choices as you breathe and blink and move. The way you respond to each situation will determine how you change, the degree in which you improve, whether or not you become stronger and more flexible. In this book you will find wildlife photos to remind you of the beauty that awaits you outside. And you will find quotes from other travelers, their words of advice on how to live life. Think. Wonder. Explore.
