Dear Barbara and Dear Micha,

Four months have passed since Klemens and I returned from Mount
Hebron.  Marion and Micha, yourself and Lisa and no, not in the
background, but in the foreground, Fritz and Margot as monuments to
family dynamics, loom over my daily meditations. Today, the first
anniversary of Marion's death, would have been my mother's one-hundred-
twentieth birthday. I am reminded of the blessings of dying.

When I occasionally read in one of the four digital volumes of Marion's
correspondence with me, I am thrilled by her candor. She is the most
truthful person I have ever encountered.

I think fondly of Marion, of yourself and Micha and Lisa, sending you
my very best wishes for the winter that purifies and for the spring
that renews.

Jochen
