To Whom it May Concern, What follows below is a transcript of the scrap of letter I found addressed to this House and Street. The original is too fragile to send so have taken the liberty to transcribe the contents below and forward them to you in hopes they have meaning. .................................................. My Dearest Dorothy, If this letter comes to your hand and eye, then know indeed that the Wizard has told me of history and the visits he documented. The Crystal ball as in the film was a prop, but behind the curtain with all the lever and pulls, is also the portal. I’ve seen it with my own eyes and watched as you, Alice then, slid down a rabbit hole to rest with the white hare. A precursor to the journals he allowed me to pour through that told of the love you have felt through ages and journey for those I had only a sense of before. Quantum theory and the rustle of Victorian silk sat in splendor as black on velum with crisp pleats of insight. The old Wizard sighed as I read on, then whispered to me softly the wisdom I should head. “ Does it change anything of what you have felt?” He and I sat late into the night drinking a strong Jamaican blend as we drew the diagrams connecting points along the history. I found him a kindly soul, though perhaps, a bit bewildered that I mixed up my verbs and nouns when I spoke of emotions and of you. “Absolutes” he warned me with a stern gaze, “exist only as strong probabilities that as of the moment you embrace them have no other meaning.” Our following philosophical discussion is of no importance, but it consumed the darkest hours of night and found me exhausted when in finality he showed me to the other side of his door. There the early dawn promised to snow and ahead of the glowering clouds I saw the formation of migrating monkeys flying south towards the Xentous Sea. Should you find yourself again at the Wizards table, it would please me to know your opinion of the Bordeaux. I left with him a case I had thought to save for some time you and I might enjoy. But, rifts and wormholes being as they tend to be and with a new found understanding of the certainty that comes from history, I do not know if that would be possible. In tangent and parallel entities there seem to be even distributions of the squared means, so I presume without malice that the mean average deviation from a norm is within the normal parameters. No conclusion may be drawn other than those of probable cause and effect. Noting the inverse ratio between heart and diamond, it's no wonder the Hatter was mad or that the Scarecrow ( bless his soul ) was always the one who seemed most astute in his lack of understanding and wished only to drop you a letter should it become lost upon the folded layers of tin that are the corporeal heart. My watch still ticks Dearest Dorothy, though I find the stem a harder thing to grasp these days of damp. Older metal than mine has fallen into rust and disrepair. My own, seems at present to bear the pitting of soul’s own algorithmic rain. I wish for you my dear, the loveliest of epochs and hope you find the Higgs boson of your soul as here we enter that which is dated as .................................................. Here the letter ended, and I am afraid I do not know if there were other pages or not, as the snow had covered the surrounding area and I was unable to search for more. Sincerely, Robert J. Assimov |

RJA...keep looking. There is much, much more for your eyes to look upon, your soul to wind over. Your story is not yet done. Respectfully, Glinda |

Glinda always has her eyes on not only the future, but the past, and then again. She is so wise...  |
