Tuesday, August 10, 2010 5:45 AM. A delicate question, papa. One whose answer may prove difficult. Reading Baker, page 222. This is in 1931: “On a visit to the MacLeishes at Uphill Farm in Conway Massachusetts, Ernest was standing before the fireplace when the MacLeishes’ daughter Mimi came in to greet him. Something in his…

Thursday, August 12, 2010 2:30 AM. Going to bed earlier merely results in getting back to this that much earlier, I see. Very well. Gentlemen? We think you will find that working on the notes will prove rewarding. You barely started, but you did start. I know, I hear the same subtext everybody else seems…

Friday, August 13, 2010 6:30 AM. It feels like I’ve lost the morning, starting this late, which is ridiculous not least because I tried to stay in bed longer so as not to get up at four or whatever. But I have a headache and don’t feel particularly in tune. I did do a little…

Saturday, August 14, 2010 4:30 AM. Finished making notes, and noting themes, through January 2006. Tremendous amount of work to do yet. I have two alternate questions, but am open to suggestion. The question from Jim and Carol is a good one to address.

Sunday, August 15, 2010 5 AM. V-J Day 65 years ago. Not a simpler world then, although we tend to think so, but a very different one. What a long, long way toward global integration and disintegration we have come since that time. The coming of the Internet alone is a revolution upon a revolution…

Monday, August 16, 2010 6 AM. In the middle of the night I had a thought — or the thought had me — that we could talk about the process of increasing access to guidance, once people know that it is indeed possible. That is, not the process of convincing anybody, but a mental attitude…

Tuesday, August 17, 2010 5:30 AM. All right, let’s talk more about threads. We are proceeding in a straight-line direction. First we showed that you as individuals aren’t individual in any meaningful description — despite how a life feels separate, often alone. Then we showed that — as in so many things — it isn’t…

Thursday, August 19, 2010 12:30 AM. Unable to sleep longer, might as well use the time. You were going to replace “threads and rings” with a more animated concept, one not so static or mechanical. Up to the task at the moment? We shall see, won’t we? For of course it depends more on your…

Friday, August 20, 2010 6:15 AM. A little hard to get moving today. Remember to balance. You observed the exhaustion in your son-in-law’s eyes from work and child and too little sleep. Your life is easier than his — but you are older, too. So, be wary of disregarding balance, in your anxiety to press…
