Email to Shawn

Hey Shawn, I’m just in the middle of doing something I’ve been wanting to do for years, which is write to a whole bunch of people who were young swinging twenty-something spiritual seekers back in ’99 when I was – and you – and see if I can find out what they think of that time and what they did with it next. You know me, I’m totally stuck in that era – my book; my head; my dreams – and I guess I’ve never really moved on. Oh well, perhaps one day will: in the meantime, at least I’m happy. :-)

Anyways, even though I know where your life went and how you feel about everything, thanks to our long emails over the years which I’ve mostly tried to keep, I thought it’d be only right of me to keep you in the loop, and write the thing I’m writing now, and also include the first message I wrote – which was long and mad and crazy – to a yoga teacher I knew in Charlottesville back in the day but I haven’t had any contact with for years. It’s probably stuff we’ve covered plenty between the two of us anyways but I figured you might be interested if you ever come across a seven and a half thousand word-shaped hole in your full and lovely life. ;-)

Otherwise, all great here and I thank you once again for everything.

The dreams of breaking into America one day when I’m free of all here are still strong!

Lots of love,
Rory

PS Here’s that mad original ‘letter’
