Description
Wednesday, 1 April
My Annerl!
Your two little letters arrived today, the second more upbeat than the first. You can just take it easy now; no grand ambitions, no regrets when sunny days are dreamt away without a trace of action. Ambition is a sap that has to collect, warm up and then rise before it blooms into action, like other flowers. In the meantime, while the sap slumbers, you have to rest in the roots of your being and let the spring days do their work as they slowly start to stir.
It was hard to say goodbye. But I feel you with me always, consciously most of the time, unconsciously while I’m reading; that’s how I get through these otherwise Annieless days.
Yours
