Dear Henry Miller

Love and honesty - are those related words? One is more important than another, or – a germ of the same stem? Honesty is yours and hers. Love as well? Love as well! There is no love for two – everyone loves on their own, each has his own measure of love, someone loves harder, someone loves more than another. And because of that honesty can be honesty yours and honesty mine.

Have you often, when forming some kind of wisdom or possibly simple words, were preaching them in out loud? Not to someone, but to yourself. Chat with oneself is the name for it. In solitude, when no one is there and better if no one is to come. Say aloud contemplations of the day, raise the questions before the night or summarize the doings, to contact oneself with questions and playing two roles at once – of questioner and respondent. I think that, certainly, this is a way the dialogue of honesty goes on. With oneself. Because honesty with oneself – this is important! Honesty with oneself and then honesty with oneself when intention has voice, sound. Sound has a goal to tell the truth and not lie to itself. A thought can commit escape, wave a tail, a thought with a tail!

Well, let’s take today. We begin: - 1. How many loved today?, 2. How many kissed?, 3. How many eyes looked in? 4. How many turned away?, 5. How many scratched with the whisker?, 6. Whom caused a pleasure?, 7. Whom thought about? 8. What felt when in Kiev - Paris on the mornings?, 9. Whom loved?, 10. What is this love for?, 11. Like Strauss?, 12. Need to boil the meat? , 13. I want to go to Berlin?, 14. Why the world needs love?, 15. Why these changes – always changes?

Asking will take a lot of time, but then one can get plenty of questioning. Crucial – to give courage to respond and know what to say. Because sometimes it is necessary to conceal because of fear to hear so-and-so response and injuring oneself. And if suddenly role of responder still wants to break the record and answer to all of them, throwing sweet "bite off" to inquiring party, then the satisfaction of non-answering to oneself still worth organizing. As for example: go out on the street at ten, when dark, and shrill out: "Country, are you alive?". Nobody will answer, will she?

All the best,
