Salutations Roger et Cie.--
thank you for the wonderful letter re the move--
thank you also for the invitation to the proposed project
yes indeed, i wd like to contribute to the
"unfinished business" project--
(it cd just be left "open ended", rather than "finished off"!)
sometimes an unfinished piece seems to suggest so many
tantalizing detours, side streets, by ways--
that one wants to leave it unfinished, as to complete it might be
to forever cut off those avenues of promise & possibility
it is like a dream from which one awakes and can't quite recall
all the fragments--an so it continues to haunt the mind & memory
of course, one cd always just make many copies of the unfinished
piece and then to each one do a different versions of finishing it
but sometimes is more powerfully moving to just leave that
haunting open ended pathway --open for dreaming . . .
unfinished business: room to dream
