Monk is an eccentric soul, one of those people you want to seek out if you are searching for more than what's on the surface. His thoughts and views on the essence of life and its interconnectivity are not new, but the colorful manner in which he presents them in his writings are. All his talents are self-taught, honed during his lengthy incarceration. He believes that going to prison not only saved his life, but gave him the opportunity to create something out of a broken existence. His prior life in the free world fell short of what his mind needed, this being excitement, danger, the thrill of the chase, something that would push the threshold of the boundaries of propriety.Being in prison did not teach him anything of value. The system is not built for teaching, but simply to warehouse human beings. But the time inside gave him the opportunity to either use it to create something out of a nothing life or to continue as others in prison do and just let themselves waste away, never leaving a positive mark on the world.T.C. Monk has spent his time in prison educating himself in the fields of poetry, prose, ink and pencil art, history, language, philosophy, psychology, and theology, as well as family and personal relationship interaction. Courtesy, honesty, fidelity, trust, respect, honor, patience, and sacrifice are all traits he has fought to instill in himself, in hopes of not only making something out of a previously wasted life, but to prove that with dedication, discipline, and determination, anyone can change their life for the better. All they need do is try.T.C. Monk's wish in writing this book is to give back a little of the grace the world saw fit to bestow upon a broke soul. He once was lost, but now he's found.lihat lebih sedikit
