Hi all,
I don’t know when or if this will be published but since my last published letter ‘Unjust Justice’, a lot has happened. It seems we have gone through so much and at the same time we still haven’t changed a bit.
I hope that this creed can move through the world. It is something I have been thinking of for a long time, and have only now been able to put into words. I actually wrote this on Sunday morning of the 14th December 2025 – the day of the Bondi shooting.
My heart goes out to all affected but especially to all who were touched by Rabbi Eli. It is felt within all of us in prison, as it hits home no matter where we are – it is a small world.
I believe to benefit all people.
I must dedicate myself, purify my mind and begin to purge emotions that will harm others and bring about negative thoughts, feelings and actions.
I believe my spirit guides my mind to an understanding of truth, compassion and generosity. I believe all people have the right to exist without discrimination and I will not judge another for who, what, where, how or why they are on their journey.
I believe all teachings, religious or secular have a message regarding the oneness of life, death and rebirth, and will always seek a deeper understanding rather than just superficial in what I hear or read.
I will promote and put forward this understanding to all who are willing to listen and meditate this becomes One Universal Understanding.
I want this to move everyone. We need to change.

While being incarcerated, I have learnt how many members of the community are Deaf and have a lot of trouble communicating as very few people know how to use sign language.
When I get out I’m going to be hitting the gym but not sure if I’ll be taking steroids.
I just wanted to give a big shout out to the amazing people at the Salvation Army for everything that they do for us in prison and outside in the community over the Christmas period.
It’s a positive and strange feeling hearing your own story through the words of another and here was me thinking I was alone in my travels as many of us do.
