Dear friends, family and colleagues who are in some way with me in this project… sending mail, pictures, recipes, and stories… invitations, questions… poems complete and in-the-making, books… chapters, articles and more books… kindly spoken advice… cards with your hand-writing… c.d.’s… piano scores of Bach and even Staeps… offers to ‘proof-read’, to call, to visit -
your on-going presence in these Hours-Upon-Hours is my great pleasure and joy.

Happy New Year, fellow learners!
