My name is Edward P. I am a poet, activist and recovering alcoholic and addict. I first became aware of the Dignity Center program through my AANA home group.
First of all, I would like to give thanks to all the staff for the compassionate treatment that I have received during my past several visits. I am sincerely grateful for the direction and encouragement they have given me, mostly in the area of my spiritual, literary and poetic pursuits. For their non-judgmental responses, and also for their listening hearts, minds and ears. I have shared several poems with them. One they have decided to print in their Dignity newsletter.
Secondly, I would like to thank them for the contacts they have given me. One in area of employment, and one in the area of housing. I have made a decision to stay in contact with them in both areas.
I would like to thank God as I understand Him. First for Ann, the staff coordinator. And also for Ken, my current advocate.
It is in my prayers that the Dignity Center continues to plant the seeds of social change. For the betterment of all the poor and oppressed people in the Twin Cities area.
Sincerely your,
Poet, activist Edward P.
