I saw that last week and was astonished when you found a bit of plane from your Dads crash? I wish there was footage of Something Dark somewhere I would really like to see it. Internal Flight helped me understand why you do what you do .
Anyway have a peaceful and nourishing time there…life is intense .
Like the advert on telly for some airline suggests… 'let yourself go…'

Oh Lemn, this is such a moving story. When you got to the point of talking on the phone and asking for your father's name… and you wrote the letter G I knew it would be Ghidei before you wrote it. I knew him very well and the puzzle that was going through my mind about you clicked, because you are his spitting image, and the puzzle in my mind was immediately resolved. A truely amazing story loaded with emotional upheaval. Seble
When I read your BBC interview dating back to 2006 and watched the recent videos I got goose bumps as I realised there is someone who shares my experiences and emotional traumas. I have no words but I feel very close to you Lemn. I wish you can breeth lightly and freely one day. That is what I hope for myself as well.
I have left my friend request on your facebook, just for you to see who is talking to you.
Warm regards,

Didnt realise it was so bad at Woodend, i used to hang around outside but then go home to my own bed. I know there was a lot of anger and frustration coming from that building, now i know why, sorry mate. Great to see that you met with some of youre family hope it makes things a little easier.

Truly. Not “truely”.
