Christopher Thrasher

Please forgive this bold,

yet brief intrusion into the sanctuary of your life, but I felt it was of the utmost necessity in order to introduce to you a proposal of friendship which is borne of "Truth and Beauty".  I realize that the aspects of my presentation must seem undesirable, thus far, due to my present circumstances are that of imprisonment, but, I beg you, to not allow the quality and depth of my words to be judged by the appearance of the surface.  So, I ask that you view the forthcoming with an objective mind and open heart.....

Now to formally introduce myself, my name is Christopher Michael Thrasher, but those close to me simply call me "Chris", so feel free to do the same.  I am 30 years old, white male, who is currently incarcerated for a crime that others have committed against society, but the (in)-justice system is certainly not above subjugating the common man for association.  Take for example all of the innocent Arabs being detained, without rights, because of our government's war against Arabic terrorists!  Nevertheless, I am certainly mature enough to accept the mistakes I've made which  plaque my life - and they are many -  but I cannot accept responsibility for others.

My interests include, but are not necessarily limited to:  philosophy, history, psychology, poetry, politics and art, although, I'm afraid I possess no true artistic ingenuity.  I have a love for music that can be traced to my childhood, and my musical tastes range from Beethoven's piano sonatas to Sade, and from Anita Baker to Linkin Park.  I also enjoy the sport of baseball, and exercise daily to maintain my physical stability.

You are free to shed any reservations about that in which I offer, for there is nothing but sincerity  radiating from the hand of friendship I'm extending to you.  I ask nothing of you but brief moments of your life that our minds may meet in the confines of these written truths, and join each other on a fascinating adventure that can only be shared by two minds connected on a personal level.  And, in return, I cannot provide anything except for my honesty, understanding, patience, genuine compassion that comes with unconditional friendship and ever-available time.

Well, with that I will close and allow the words of my heart to lend wings to your soul.  "Patient, over-patient, is the captain of my ship" as I await a response in regards to that in which I've presented to you, for life has blessed me with this opportunity to unite a kindred spirit, and I pray I've proven worthy.  But, if for reasons you hold close to your heart, you choose not to reply in acceptance to my earnest plea for a companion in friendship, then at least allow me to thank you for the time you've given me to read this letter.

Please take care...........

Humbly yours,

Chris
