Hi, so good to hear from you...i have been remiss...i noticed a maryland return
address on your letters but had no idea you were living there...am kicking myself for not
trying to visit. i love your newsletter...in fact, i am very interested in creation from a
"scientific" perspective and stories like yours (re the fallen tree and the towel) give me
great insight into how creation happens. i shared it with my five hundred and fifty or so
facebook friends. i also love words, as you do, and think of myself as a weaver now
thanks to you! idea for you - do an essay on "great" weavers throughout history. penelope
of ithaca comes to mind. :)
i still haven't had a chance to adequately express thanks for the letters...i can't tell you
how much they meant to me. every time i reconnect with the little boy, it gives me fresh
energy and much inspiration. so thoughtful of you, i will never forget.
i would very much like to come to california and see you. i will try to make it so.
yours in weaver-hood, hippie lou aka david

Thanks for sharing my article. I'm glad you enjoyed it. And thanks for sharing an idea. I've thought about doing something about famous weavers -- Charlotte (of Charlotte's Web) also comes to mind. And then there are creation myths that involve weaving and/or spinning. One of these days, I'll get there.
What do you mean by a scientific perspective on creation, creating? … I do find the creative process fascinating. I recently visited some open studios and it was so interesting to catch a glimpse at how these artisans work (and arrange their spaces).
No need to apologize for not visiting us in MD. There's lots I would have liked to do during my brief tenure there that just didn't happen.
I'm so glad that you enjoyed getting those letters and that they are a way for you to reconnect with your younger self.
How did you fare with Hurricane Sandy? I hope you stayed safe and warm.
Love,
