Subject: My purpose

Hi your ad is the most interesting question for the simple reason that you want to talk about purpose. Is there a purpose? My memory is shot now from some drugs i took no not that kind of drug the kind where your in the hospital and you cant see straight or hear straight and all you want to do is last the night. I was in a really bad crash and god knows how long i was in the hospital but at some piont i came around and started to live again and thats when my purpose becamse clear and i realized what was happening.

I’ve never told anybody this before, not anybody, but while i was in the hospital i had an amazing spiritual experience and i wrote a story about it. I’ve never shown it to anybody before but i feel like youare one person who would understand. Can I send it to you?

Marty, I don’t have time to read this right now. I don’t want you to think I’m ignoring you. I will have to get back to you when I read it, ok?
