The Gordian Knot
On shared spaces (Kitchen), and the 'cut'

"Thanks for your e-mail. I take it as a hopeful rune (as opposed to a hopeful ruin) that you have much to say. After I read it I looked outside at the frozen sun, (arctic but invigorating weather) and thought that this is really what it's all about. About trying to figure out a life, one's own, to plod forward, to keep chewing away at the Gordian knot - and you're doing it, you're always at it, and your work is always focused on it too. And this I love. It's what I attempt myself and oddly enough I think it's what my mother is at in her work too.
Not a lot to report, but I wanted to say I love to hear of your chewing away at the world, the mastication, digestion, the excrement. I think it's good for you to be travelling and teaching as you are. It must suit you. I wish I were a tad more mobile. I get so f*cking depressed by routine. Let me know your dates of travel and I will look in to a junket to London, fares are cheap. The fat little Epicureans continue to drive me round the twist."
