I am new to this post and site eve; you know, I wrote the below letter to Richard Bach about 2 minutes ago, and already felt the desire to meet other people that Richard has touched. I would love to just chat about this to someone, this is great!
Letter:
You know Richard, I do not blame you at all – not wanting to give out your address or contact information. With all of the bullshit that they are doing to your work, what is going on? Richard’s and Leslie’s divorce advice, and other crap. Damn it, what in the world is going? I have read your illusions book, but you know how it always is!? You read a book by a person and you do not really realize how good it is, until the second book read by him makes you realize. I am on the 37th page of your “Running from Safety,” book and looking back at the pages (all marked with up a pen), so that I can share the “mind blowing words,” you were so great to pass onto those who seek it. As I sit here in front of my expensive laptop, in my 2 bedroom apartment, all alone, parents just split up, and writing this letter (hoping it would reach you), I cannot believe the drama life IS!
I mean I have only gone through 37 pages and already I have laughed and cried. I cannot believe this, already I want to go back and just lay and continue on with this book, but I feel the need to write to you.
I am in awe of you, I cannot believe a man that hits the nail on the coffin about life. I started thinking about my self when I was 9, oh my goodness, what is going on? I started crying heavily, would the child I was ever think of his father splitting with my mother? Would he ever think that he would be alone at 22, with only a job that makes him feel worthy? Would he be pissed that all I think about is the next paycheck that I receive and how much I will put away in savings, to add to my useless savings?
You know, I closed my eyes and started thinking about the room I had when I was little, my god, this is crazy? Although I really did not focus in on the young me, I am now; however, trying to do this. And god I look scary. You are awesome Mr. Bach! I can’t wait to continue this book with a pace of a turtle, and you know what!? I don’t care!
