FROM THE LATEST LETTER

Dear Scholar,
how are you?

Not the answer you give everyone. The answer you’d give if someone actually had time to listen.

A NOTE FROM A FRIEND

Dear Scholar,

How are you?

No, not the quick “I’m fine” you give when someone asks in passing. I mean, how are you, really?

Maybe this week has been beautiful. Maybe it has been difficult. Maybe it’s been so ordinary that you can’t quite find a word for it.

Whatever the answer is, I hope you make a little room for yourself today.

Always rooting for you,
A friend.
