“Dear Luis y Pat —
In many ways this letter has been a long time coming. Ive sent small thank you notes, sung your praises, although I suspect I am one voice among many. You’ve both cast a long shadow in my life, but as I sit here writing, una sombra is not really an accurate description. Light, you have been light, incandescent in your own right, shining with the fire of your own words, and with the generosity you’ve shown to me and others time and time again.
And because I’m a poet, and a romantic, I think Ill run with the metaphor. You’ve both lit my way back home to myself, to who I am as a writer. For better or worse, gave me your support without hesitation, without expectation, and now I finally have some way to let others know how life changing it was.”
Stumble it! |
