Let Me Immerse Myself in Your Breadth

Tamarack Song's November 2001 letter to a female student. Rumor has it, she is not the only woman to receive such a letter.

Freezing-over Moon
waxing full


I don't read many peoples' works; in fact I don't read much at all anymore. I read your piece twice. It's not your depth of awareness that caught me, it's your breadth of awareness. Do you know how rare that is? Do you know how rare you are?

You gave me a window into your substance, clear as first-formed ice. I need to melt the ice, hold my breath and immerse myself. I respectfully ask if you will continue to share your breadth with me. I am willing to do same.

In Balance,
Tamarack
