A Day In My Life
My editor asked me to write an essay based on a day in the life of George Kayer, that would be me. Most people with the astrological sign of Leo (Le., self centered, vanity, artistic) that would also be me, would be able to sit down and write many pages about how they influenced the days events, about the advice they had offered to others, about their sense of style and fashion, about their education and life experiences. A day in the Iife of George Kayer a resident of Arizona's death row since July 1997 hmmm.
Then I thought of a book one of the guys here wrote, its title is simply, "Life on Death Row" by Robert Murry, then I thought about the potential we all have when we don't have to get up in the morning and go to work, come home for 45 minutes and go to a second job just to pay the babysitter. No, I am not female but I was a single parentlfather.
How fortunate am I now to have servants pick up my laundry twice a week, to take out my trash once a day, to offer me food three times a day and pick up my dirty dishes when I'm done, to provide light to see and dark to sleep. Books to read, pen and paper to write, water to bathe, warmth in winter's cold. What is one persons potential when Iife's essentials are provided? Few ever find out, many use the extra time on their hands to complain or share how they are the real victim. Most find escapism in prison just as they did in life, not happy with what they had created for themselves in either prison or the free world. But this essay isn't about most of others it's about me and what fills a day in my life. There are only three items of awareness in a day in my life. They are so simple I am almost reluctant to reveal them, the pride of the Leo influence I suppose. A day in my life; Empty empty, gratitude and happiness.
To many this may sound like some idyllic LSD drug concept, a religious euphoria or some schizoid passivity disorder. lassure you it is not, the psychiatrist would have notified my attorney. Q It is rather the result of doing ones "fulllife review" before death. It is realizing by choice we create our future reality.
Through meditation or prayer we make our choices possible and only by gratitude for what we have, can we make room for the inevitable change.
All is weil, really.
