A short letter from me this week. I have things I want to say but they are still delicate seedlings and need more time to develop. To try and articulate them now would involve digging them up before their roots take hold; or, if you’ll indulge two metaphors, it would be like serving you a cake that’s only been in the oven for twenty minutes: warm, but gloopy and still smelling eggy.
