THE THINGS THEY CARRIED IN THE SUMMER OF 1970 / SUMMER OF 2008
This is the sixth of the seven drawings by RTN, which were sent from Vietnam in 1970 on the front of mailed letters.
Still on dial-up and very limited in terms of internet access. Thought I would try to upload some photos. It took longer than usual, but now I know I can upload photos if I'm willing to wait the extra time.
From my Zen Calendar, the entry of a few days ago:
"And I would answer you. . . that to prepare the future is only to found the present. . . for the sole true invention is to decipher the present under its incoherent aspects and its contradictory language. . . You do not have to foresee the future, but to allow it. . .
(ANTOINE DE SAINT-EXUPERY)

I really love that envelope drawing. Decided to stop by after a long absence, glad I did. I'm in Provincetown for summer on a writing residency: been working hard (and playing some too).
thanks for the present, am :-)
