“You’ve been writing a letter every week for almost thirty years?”
The question always evokes disbelief, particularly since the dawn of the
Internet and email. We quickly correct the misconception.
“Well, at least one letter, but usually more. We write each other three or four letters a week. And we never wait for a return letter before beginning another.”
Conservatively speaking, at just three letters a week since 1987, that

too low. We have, on occasion, written each other two letters in a single
day.”

“The lens can act in many different ways and lenses can be stacked on top of each other in order to produce varying types of views. Take the fish-eye lens as an example. The glass on the lens is shaped in a certain way in order for the light to enter and produce a certain kind of distorted view.
We all are born with a lens, but usually we get to kind of start at ground zero in the process of beginning to understand, use, and interpret what this physical reality is. As our eyes open and we start to interface with this new reality, we form connections and synapses within our brain for interpretation and use of this new tool that we have. And much of this develops through the guidance or non-guidance of those caring for us. So much starts to become ingrained, and even in some cases we can borrow other people’s lenses in order to feel safe in the world. Sometimes the layers and layers can become quite complex. How many of you feel that anything you come in contact with gets to be translated through a menagerie of different thoughts, ideas, and histories before it fully gets seen?”

“The lentil is perhaps the world’s most versatile, indestructible food. One can eat the lentil unadorned; marry it off to its first cousin, the oafish “bulgur”; or attempt to drown it in harsh vinegar for a “vegan salad.” But the lentil, alas, will always survive. Indeed, at the Packwood house, the tenacious little legume will forcibly resurrect, as free of anything resembling taste as ever, and insinuate its indefatigable, pelletlike self onto yet another dinner plate, expecting to be eaten. Again, and again, and again.”
