Two weeks of grandpa'ing (and another weighed down by the cough gifted to me by Olivia, via her nursery) and I am catching up with my reading as well as my writing, Matt. Apologies for taking so long to get to this, another thoughtful, generous and fascinating edition. Exciting to hear your plans for an additional Letter ... the writing tap is truly turned on. Brilliant. I particularly like the quote I took the liberty of sharing to Notes - "I hope she never once arrives at a certainty in her beliefs without first putting in the effort to understand". We should all be so cautious. Keep up the excellent work. B
Another lovely read! So glad you'll keep this newsletter going, even with your work on the new one. I hope you'll give 'To the Lighthouse' a try someday. I think you'd appreciate Woolf's dreaminess in that one. xo
I often feel this way about flowers, hence why I either have festering vases of half fallen petals or dried bunches hung on each wall gathering dust and happiness!

The Kierkegaard and Valery quotes are SO spot on aren't they. And I couldn't agree more about Small Things Like These and Boards of Canada!

You can't better a dead tulip! I wish we held onto more of them for longer.
That’s Heisenberg uncertainty principle!
“it is not possible to immerse oneself within life and understand it at the same time”
Yes, I think you might be right! Physics and philosophy not so very different!
Yeah, Kierkegaard was first, but at last it seems the same thing
Another rewarding read Matt. Thank you.
Thanks, Andrew. My first Albanian reader, I suspect! ;)
