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.

Email Documentation for the OIG Hotline

 


Marlely, I regret that I was unable to meet with Senator Gillibrand at her request today.

These are historic times, certainly, that challenge us to redefine leadership in more courageous terms than heretofore.

The question of legacy is pressing for many elected officials, and I think understandably so.

Will our contributions to the long term sovereignty of Americans be substantive enough to be remembered?  And what do we say to those who view the defense of the long term sovereignty of the nation as too big a risk?

I'm sure that Senator Gillibrand, and, indeed, the Congress as a whole, is weighing these concerns with renewed principle and thoughtfulness.

My case before the Supreme Court, pertaining to crimes of knowingly falsified law enforcement reporting by the FBI, will help to decide the long term sovereignty of Americans, but only if we ensure that we enter into direct dialogue about this problem and its necessary solutions.

That requires a commitment to the future of the nation, I realize -- one that is heartfelt, genuine, and intrepid.  

Is Senator Gillibrand engaged with this issue, given that she serves on the Senate Intelligence Committee?

Does she feel that direct discussions regarding this case are important? 

Perhaps Senator Gillibrand will elect to inform me of some of these specifics via email, with Marley as an intermediary.

For various reasons at this time, it is best if the Senator does not email me directly.  

Thank you for your efforts in forwarding this communication.

Kind regards,
Lane MacWilliams

To Senator Collins' Staff:

My name is Lane MacWilliams, and I appreciate your accepting my email introduction in reaching out to you.

I know that short term security concerns are pressing for the Congress as a whole, given recent events.  Yet, in the midst of immediate demands, it is also necessary for our leaders to look to the long term sovereignty of Americans.

I'm sure that Senator Collins, and, indeed, the Congress, is weighing the defense of Americans' long term sovereignty with renewed rigor and thoughtfulness.

My case before the Supreme Court, pertaining to crimes of knowingly falsified law enforcement reporting by the FBI, will help to decide the long term human rights of Americans, but only if we ensure that we enter into direct dialogue about this problem and its necessary solutions.

That requires a commitment to the future of the nation, I realize -- one that is heartfelt, genuine, and intrepid.  

Is Senator Collins engaged with this issue, given that she serves on the Senate Intelligence Committee?

Does she feel that direct discussions regarding this case are important? 

Perhaps Senator Collins will elect to inform me of some of these specifics via email, with a member of your staff as an intermediary.

For various reasons at this time, it is best if the Senator does not email me directly.  

Thank you for your efforts in facilitating this communication.

Kind regards,
Lane MacWilliams
