6 About Us
Dear Reader,
This is where I write something nice
about issue 10 and spring and things blooming or thawing or something
euphemistic about bunnies or at least something exuberant about not having to
wear scarfs and hats unless we want to, something about the sun on one’s skin
like something almost forgotten and regained, of standing on the tallest
building just to get closer to it, of this physical quality of being warmed,
and then all of a sudden we’ve started talking about what transactional means,
this process, this physical action of carrying out, of carrying through, of the
drive and the performance, of belonging to this result of operating across, of
playing, of achieving something, of negotiating an agreement, of working
something out, whether an act of God or a business deal or a sexual act or all
of the above, and then we’ll have planted something with every intention of
continuing to grow, and it will be magical.
Warmest,
– Christina Phelps
