Dear Miss Grant,
Warm greetings from Hong Kong.
There is something we find in your work that strikes a deep resonance. Antigone’s story is truly the stuff of legends and rings true to this day. It seems some things, some qualities are impervious to time. On this point, we wish to share a thought with you on that proverbial never-ending story that is Love.
Meet Isabella. The videos are a gift for my wife, created with an audience of one in mind. A sort of visual letter, they are a hodgepodge of favorite music, movies, schoolboy poetry, travelogue, etc.. As you see, they are rather personal and represent a great deal of meaning to the two of us.
We decide to share them with you for a reason that might be best told with a feeling. This feeling is at once personal and universal. Our natural resonance to it reveals that deep down we are all really one and the same. In its presence our hearts open to a reality where things are woven by connections invisible to the eye. Here, life feels like the miracle it truly is. Here, words are superfluous. I defer to this feeling to convey what I am here to communicate.
The surprise (and brilliant!) answer you gave at an interview stuck with me. What is the opportunity for good? In my mind, the two are one and the same; in love we find what is good. From one naturally emerges the other. They trailblaze the path that links us to the larger picture, perhaps to that higher law Sophocles alluded to.
The world over is full of untold number of stories that resonate to this feeling. Characters and names change with time and place; yet the grand old story continues to be written every day, everywhere. I for one very much look forward to what others do.
What if we, people of the world, flood the internet with love? With open love letters…
Mr Reeves’ and your story is a beacon for believers. Without embellishment or exaggeration, it possesses power to converge all that stand on the side of good and love. The world could most surely use more of that at the moment.
Look forward to continuing our conversation.
Heartfelt wishes from us to you both,
I&J
