Dear Brock,

I can't begin to tell you how deeply I enjoyed reading your every word here.

I am so touched by your attention to incredibly soulful art through cinema, camera, the electricity of a city, the fragility and strength of the human spirit. And how you took the opportunity to tie so much of these incredible works--and all they conjure for you personally--into the man you are today, really it is breathtaking to me.

Your mind and your commitment to honoring the beauty of the obscure, I treasure what you share.

Thank you so sincerely. I'm thinking of you.

Thanks for the kind words, B! I just read this in Hou Hsiao-hsien’s cafe in Taipei so fitting setting for a well-served meal. I look forward to reading more.

Very, very fitting. I love Taipei. Leaving Hanoi - my base for the past 8 or 12 years - in just two days and actually laying over I'm Taipei! Funny how these things work. It's a small world. How - HOW?? - could I forget Three Lives?? I'll make up for it ;)
