It’s Different

Walking out of the R&D building into the courtyard I saw lush green grass, intricately designed garden beds covered with fresh mulch that had color flowers turning brown while clutching to the last bit of autumn sun. I was expecting to walk through another administration building to get onto the actual prison compound. “This is it,” announced the R&D officer who was escorting me and four other…

Transferred

Recently, I read a message from my lawyer telling me of the letters he’s received on my behalf advocating for my release. I want to express my gratitude and appreciation to all of those that have and continue to give me loving support. That being said, it’s been a while since I’ve written something to post. It’s not because I haven’t been writing. I recently completed my first draft manuscript…

Book Review: If My People. Prayers for Healing, Hope & Restoration

It’s been some time since I’ve done a Gangster Turned Guru book review. It’s not that I haven’t been reading, just a lot going on. Most books I read right through, but others are meant for one to take their time with. “IF MY PEOPLE” ‘Prayers for Healing, Hope and Restoration,’ was such a book. There will always be situations that occur in life that appear to challenge one’s faith, so to have good…

I Stay Grounded

My ways and actions, choices, and decisions reflect the degree to which I’ve related to the One Source of life.Sometimes it’s more and sometimes it’s less.I’ll be the first to admit that Eddie Wright has expressed some very ungodly behaviors in my past. But yet and still, the connection with the One Source of life does not change.What has changed is my understanding of the only power in the…

Life Dot

It takes some people longer than others to connect what I’ve sometimes called “Life dots.”As for myself, I have no problem admitting that I was a slow learner.It took an extreme reality check, akin to having an outer body experience, to realize that life unfolds from an unseen force, creating the visible manifestation of the reality that’s experienced. I came across this spiritual realization by…

My Graduation Speech

I want to start by saying it’s an honor to be able to express myself for this ceremony.When I first signed up for the Challenge Program, I came with an open mind to learn, but also with the lingering pre-conceived idea’s from negative things I’ve heard about the program block since I came to Canaan in 2008. As much as my guys who were in Challenge tried to convince me to take the program, it…

FIRST CAUSE!

I’ve come to understand that I’m always dealing with the First Cause in the creation of my reality and experiences. “What is the First Cause?” My thoughts. This is a blessing, yet in my unconscious state of awareness, it “seemed” more like a curse. I said, “seemed” for a crucial reason, since my belief is that I can set my ideas to achieve my goals to create and manifest my destiny, but the…

God Is Good

Since my spiritual comprehension isn’t adequate enough to where I believe I can fly, I don’t jump off of buildings.My understanding isn’t such where it makes it possible for me to walk through a brick wall, so I use the door. One of the reasons I have a solid spiritual conviction of the Universal laws and Principals that I’m comfortable with accepting that there are some things I don’t know…

President Biden

I’ve never been a complain about the problem, type of person. I accept what is and focus on the solution. If it’s a reoccurring problem, then it’s important to investigate the cause so that it doesn’t continue and ultimately unfold into a bigger dilemma.To listen objectively with an open mind and not allow my emotions to supersede my intelligence, is what has gained me the respect as an “O.G.” or…

Today’s Seminar: What Kind Of Father Are You Choosing To Be?

Today’s Seminar: What Kind Of Father Are You Choosing To Be?

Currently I’m in the Challenge Program, a modified therapeutic community that addresses drug and criminal thinking errors, here at USP Canaan. One of the requirements is actively participating with presenting personal seminars that are given on Tuesdays and Thursdays, after our initial morning meetings. It’s difficult to stand up in front of roughly 100 fellow individuals and share intimate…

Forgiveness

He was 5 years old when he killed his 2 year old sister, after finding a loaded shotgun behind their mothers bedroom door while playing cowboys and Indians. Too often we hear or read in the news of children accidently killing other children and we may emphasize for 30 seconds or even a full minute of our time, but the impact of such a grave tragedy is most often disregarded. Forty years of…

Opioid Madness

My friend Rich, who lives in the cell next to mine, gets released in 2 weeks after serving 5 years for a gun charge. You would think nothing could damper his spirits so close to the doors of freedom. But after hanging up the phone the night before last, he realized how delicate the reality of life actually is hearing that his younger brother died from an overdose. Yesterday, speaking with my 17…

Please Sign My Petition

My name is Eddie Wright. In 2004, I was charged with conspiracy with intent to distribute 50 grams of crack cocaine, under the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986, which created a disparity between crack and powder cocaine, commonly referred to as the 100 to 1 crack law. Under this law, a person charged with having 5,000 grams of powder cocaine would face a 10 year mandatory minimum; a person, such as…

I’m sorry

I know I’ve been abusing our relationship. I’ll admit, there’s no valid excuse. I haven’t been giving you my time to show the type of love and freedom you’ve given me. You’re always available, patiently waiting for me to engage you openly, honestly and unconditionally. What’s hardest to accept is that I’m fully to blame. That’s a fact! But we both know I don’t have a history of maintaining…

Parenting From Prison

It’s hard being a parent from prison. Especially realizing the devastating effect the unforeseen consequences my actions had on my children, particularly Nia, who was only 45 days old when I got arrested over 17 years ago. While my other children experienced “Dad” being home for birthday parties, Disney trips, soccer games and more, Nia was robbed of all those monumental memories. I’ve worked…

This or That

Was there ever really a time when peace and harmony existed?

The question and answer is two fold.

Yes and no.

The polarities of life exist in order for us to have experiences. There’s no hot without cold, pain without pleasure, peace without war, chaos without harmony and gangster without the guru. LOL.

How would we know one from the other without the other existing?

There are…
