Lane von Herzen: The Stalwart Courage I Possess

My Third Novel's Conclusion, My Heartbreak

My heart begins to break when I think about completing this particular book -- because this narrative has sustained me like no other story I've known. It's both more personal and more universal than my other works. But beyond memory and archetype, it's a cri-de-coeur about needing to become the person one is destined to be. And in the writing, I have met my own life's work, my own fated journey -- having the sense all the while that the pages are suffused with a resonance, an energy, an electrified field that defies explanation. Writers hope and pray to be overtaken by a work in this way -- to be conscripted into passionate service of a profound story. To experience it even once in a lifetime seems a great privilege. I still have several months before this novel is complete, and this constitutes my reprieve. Because I'm not ready for the beauty to end.

The Stalwart Courage I Possess

OIG Hotline, please be apprised that the FBI appears to be extending death threats to me pertaining to a non-conventional vector deployed within my hotel suite during my absence today in the process of communicating with your Office and the Canadian Human Rights Commission.

Nighttime rooftop deployment of life-threatening Dxxs is also delineated as a persistent threat.

The FBI appears to believe that the CHRC is inclined to fulfill my Access to Information Request. I have today requested that the CHRC reach out to you to request all materials pursuant to my case.

As a direct result, the FBI appears to have first-degree murder on its to-do list pertaining to me and to my whole family.

It would certainly be appropriate for President Trump to call off any and all such plans on an immediate basis.

If we genuinely care about the long term freedoms of mankind, short term plans of murder cannot be a governmental stratagem for political aims or the enrichment of our long term adversaries, including A., about whom I have written recently.

If humanity is to emerge from our current environmental crisis with anything resembling meaningful freedom, we need to insist that those human rights be maintained among those who are striving for the whole of mankind in the long term.

Freedom is not an afterthought, an add-on, an embellishment, a window dressing, or an addendum to the course of our daily lives.

Freedom, rather, determines whether our lives are invested with meaning, depth of human bonds, potential for intellectual, emotional and spiritual growth, the possibility of epiphany, wonder, discovery, insight and transformation.

To forfeit freedom now, and to forfeit it at the demands of A., is to ensure that humanity will never regain it.

So I ask for more.

I ask for President Trump to ensure my safety and security and that of my family members irrespective of the demands of A., who would seek to profit most damagingly from our harm.

The freedom of humanity is worth the stalwart courage of our elected leaders in this moment.

As I possess it, so, too, must they.

Most sincerely,
