"What sort of diary should I like mine to be? Something loose knit and yet not slovenly, so elastic that it will embrace anything, solemn, slight or beautiful that comes into my mind. I should like it to resemble some deep old desk, or capacious hold-all, in which one flings a mass of odds and ends without looking them through." --Virginia Woolf
I loved your essay. I have been struggling with how to write this because of one of my own fears - the fear the newbie has about complimenting an expert - of giving away my inexperience, of sounding foolish, of using the wrong words (or using them wrong). Anyway, all I can say is that I especially loved the voice in it and the wonderful sentences. It's humourous and touching and makes you think. Loved it! Congratulations on this success.

Thank you both of you.
