Dear Brock..

Thanks for the reply.

I’m thrilled to hear back from one of my favorite artists.

My life is like a trash can full of junk, but I’m glad I’m alive when there’s a moment like this where a ray of light shines through.

Please and read Yukio Mishima. His solitude, his genius, his life, all overlap on you.
His incomparable and wonderful powers of expression, his descriptions, his beauty.

Please whatever happens, don’t die young.

Please love music until that moment when the flame of your life burns out, like 画狂老人卍 (Katsushika Hokusai).

It brings tears to my eyes.
Thank you.
