Respect

In an email discussion of hyperdrama with an academic in Europe, and I'm a bit overwhelmed by the courtesy and respect coming from the other end. This has been my old age fantasy, to be a respected "retired' writer: and in this distant exchange I am feeling it. Here I feel like a discarded, ignored writer, but there, communicating with a European scholar, like an honored and admired writer. I dig it! Makes me feel very much at peace with myself.

This networking with Europe is triggered by the Ensslin book, of course. Am I glad I discovered it!

A fantasy coming true, close enough for jazz ...
