Recently, I've had Email regarding the promised second Installment.

Now concerning this, I had written in the previous post, that "I hope [it] will appear before long. Though I am having difficulties, as I say."

With this, I meant to promise nothing, only to express a hope.

Now I feel I need to say that, concerning this piece, as well as some very long delayed personal replies, that I really do not know when I will be able to manage these.

Deep in prayer, yesterday, I felt something advising me of the wisdom, perhaps necessity, of dropping, even collapsing. Letting all but the most essential things go.

Things are difficult, my friends. Largely, as I said before, due to my own choices. I can also honestly tell you that a great sense of hope and meaning also attends these difficulties. And attends a sense of a work unfolding in France.

But the second installment is nearly finished. It WILL appear. And I will be replying to your e-mail. I just cannot yet say when.
