Hi y'all,

Greetings from S.A.T.F./SP. (oh dear, my address has been reduced to an acronym). Straight off, thanks from the bottom of my essence for all your heartfelt support. In my present "sitch"," a letter from those on the outside, is spiritual uplift gold. To all those who have sent support, I humbly acknowledge my appreciation.

However, whether the message was written, thought, prayed, or "shouted," again, I am accutely sensitive these days, and "I feel ya". Meanwhile, I'm doing what I need to do, to hopefully do what I want to do - return home to me, mine, yours, and ours as well as possible.

Something really clicked inside on 6/24/99 (my dad's B-day, strangely), everyday since has been about maintaining the magic of that click. I don't know how to describe it, but after many personal and publicized "half-measures", I honestly believe that all will be well.

Lastly, I would be an uberfool not to consider the distinct possibility that, unable before to activate that transformation solo, the "you" collective gave me a triple latte` awakening, I guess, out of love. A love, I mean to return, in days to come. All of y'all mean the world to me.

Halloween, October 31, 1999


Good news and howdy from the wilderness! H.H. to those who choose to celebrate. Where is this holiday's origin? Any intellectual pillars out there? Meanwhile, I've been reading Peter Coyote's new book, "Sleeping Where I Fall", a counter-culture memoir that clarifies and instructs. Also, I shall be stepping up my installments in the weeks ahead, and with your blessings, will endeavor to shed new "luce" on things from a newly enlightened POV.

Meanwhile, my case has found it's own "momento" rhythm and will more likely than not, move forward sans b.s. - Now, I'd rather morph into a guinea pig than a lamb, and I am in the pro -per process of articulating a plan to revolutionize the tired system of rehab recitivism.

Oh God! By the way, I had a supercharged visit with Tim Story*. I'm now, closer to this fella. I'll go into that next week. Just to tease - we have big plans, based on shared dreams. Tim stopped by on his way to give a motivational to the Raiders football team. By the way, all of my future efforts will be, by necessity, interactive. Welcome aboard!

Much love to my japanese geisha, austrailian mistress, - hungarian, swedish, russian and british concubines. The list goes on, sisters. I would be ungrateful, not to acknowledge super-Moog**, and without a doubt, Leslie***.

Hold on! Is anyone aware of Chuck and Nancy Missler and their dual genius at www.khouse.org? Don't trip on the christian tip. Information is experience. Boo hoo! Gotta fly!

P.S. thanks to all the bookies, yet many have been confiscated. Any books not sent from vendors i.e. amazon.com, barnes and noble - are non-receivable by yours truly.

* - [Tim Story] not the Tim, who was Robert's assistant, but a famous motivational speaker and drug rehab therapist.
** - [Super-Moog] Robert's friend who passed on this (and other) letters to us

My dearest Party members,
XXX OOO

Firstly, my sincere apologies for dropping off the site as of late. Things have gone a bit southward at S.A.T.F. since the holidays. As usual, I remain ever grateful for all the letters, postcards, books etc. that have been sent. Some days its what keeps me from "nutting up".

However depressive my environs may be, I have made a committment to redouble my efforts at correspondence from this day forward. I'm doing an article for "US" magazine, and will be sure to mention y'all as high on my gratitude list.

Lastly, I've been doing some artwork. Maybe Moogy can scan the one I sent him for he and his bride. It is for him to keep, but also to share, should he get his "scan" on.

Lovingly,
Downey
