When I was having a particularly rough time a few years ago, you made it clear that you were there to defend me even though I needed help and couldn't quite accept it (which I think is terrifically hard to do--just to persist in giving someone love when they react to it so weirdly); you've been more understanding about some more recent things than most people seem able to manage; I love that you put new things in my head, which is difficult for me to talk about because it seems to be something that most of the people I feel close to do, easily--just the exchange of images and ideas perhaps--and yet I'm afraid that describing it implies a fixed teacher-student relationship or an exploitive one, rather than a pure delight. I'm glad I know you.
(I hope you're feeling a bit better and realize fully I'm all kinds of late coming to this, but psh, I'd still like to have tea with you if and when some combination of travels and road-trips and coincident points on the map allows.)
