Blake

To see a world in a grain of sand, And a heaven in a wild flower, Hold infinity in the palm of your hand, And eternity in an hour. William Blake, from "Auguries of Innocence"

Indian Movie Star

Dear Daughter,

Guess what?

Papa is going to be in a movie here! I will be playing the lead part in a documentary of Edward Sargent, who was a bishop here in southern India over 100 years ago. He was very instrumental in promoting education and set up one of the first boarding schools for girls here and is greatly respected by the people of Tamil Nadu, they even wrote a song about him. So, Papa may be a mini movie star in Tamil Nadu. I will be going to the coast of India again tomorrow to shoot some scenes and, some of them will be in Tamil too.

It was wonderful to talk to you last night. Do you remember the Tamil words I taught you on the phone? 

I love you,

Papa
