Dear Robert,

Thank you for this most helpful and generous short essay and its perfect illustrative photograph.

Just last night, around a beautiful meal Jill prepared for our guests, pushed by a sudden change of circumstances and perhaps helped by one too many glasses of delicious wine, a good old friend of ours burst open and laid bare his despair. His pain took me back to the morning of the chilean coup of 1973 when I and thousands of others, incredulous and in shock, felt the ground was taken away from under our feet by the overwhelming hidden forces of the Establishment. I just hope the reflexions I offered brought some consolation, some calm dappled light to his troubled heart.

Today, finding your work puts matters in a much clearer way than what I managed yesterday, I'm going to press 'share' and send them to him. See you soon.
