Hey! I had a sense that Dr., his classes, you had an immediate purpose. It's purpose showed itself in a way I didn't expect but a purpose I am frightfully excited for. A few weeks ago you touched on a deeply engrained problem of mine: I tend to be really critical of people. I asked, "what if all 4 people didn't know the difference between Shi'a and Sunni Muslims?" and you quietly said something to me about not having faith in people to know. I shrugged off acknowledgment that I was making an isult -- but I kind of was. I can't trust my cynicism with many people because it ends up just being justified (Gauguin had the same argument when his first show [I think it was in Paris] was shut down on its first day).
I've had a few friends that didn't like Kendall. One said it ruined art for him and the other two dropped out before they got very far. I have all sorts of theories for this happening. And I see it in Gauguin and other people that explore their own psyches too much. There was actually just a story on Michigan Radio about a prison in Arizona where the psychologist of that prison was saying, "some of these minds are like pandora's box and when these terrible things they've done get brought up and they don't have someone to talk to...". I'm exploring something very tender here. I think. If not, i'll die of disillusion. I think.
