Dear Phillip,
Your letter brought much joy! Soon I will write you a reply.
Marcus (#1) and Lisa and Cliff (#2 son) and Belva and (their) daughters and I visited the Aerospace Museum on Constitutional Avenue Wash D.C. We were astonished in wonderment and surprise how wide the "Voyager" airplane was, how thin the material, how small the cabin for two people to lay in flat - like a pencil. 9 days 3 minutes and 44 seconds is a long time under those conditions.
My reading (midnights) = Jean Piaget (child psychologist) The development of thought (Equilibration of Cognitive Structures) makes fascinating brain food. Often enough he comes close to Heidegger's description of Being. (an ?active? = letting be)
His (Piaget) central idea is = knowledge proceeds neither from experience with external objects nor from intuitive or logical internal processes, but knowledge develops from a series of cognitive structures, built one above the other, requiring continuous adjustments and leading to further constructions.
like your daughter's "latching onto something only to let go a week later"... (Arnold Rosin)
Piaget: "To understand is to invent."
Also I am learning the Hebrew alphabet.
My Greek studies continue.
Mike Piechocinski (1974-76) has an exhibition here at Washington DC on April 2 - 27. I intend to be at the opening.
--No comparison!--
Your work is: an event, is inventive, arises, rises from your live substance!
Piaget = "Most important not to get stuck with one solution." Not only are there many solutions to a problem or question, but also it is likely that we find better, easier (conservation of energy), more appropriate solutions with other directions.
As I can see you are living a life of awareness. Nothing higher can be achieved. I hope to see you this year. Love, Wolf
