The Monday Morning Memo

Morty_NewYorkStory

Roy, I think God loves me.

I met with Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx today in New York. It was a very productive 4 hour meeting.

In the meeting they asked me to include in my monthly contract things I’m not good at. But I thought to myself that I have a partner in Phoenix named Austin Leonard (copied on this email)who may just be perfect for this.

So I left the meeting, made a small note in my calandar to “Call Austin tomorrow.” Then I ran off to catch the subway.

Unfortunately,  instead of jumping on the Q train, I inadvertently jumped onto the N train. After a few stops I realized my mistake. So I jumped off at the first stop I could to grab the Q train.

But that station didn’t have a Q train.

So I grabbed the R train. My thinking was that the R train goes in the same general direction as the Q train so “I’ll figure it out” along the way.

So I’m on the R train looking at a map of the different train schedules and there standing next to me was someone so familiar. “Austin is that you?” The blonde-haired gentelman turned to me and looked for a minute, then said “Morty?”

I didn’t need to wait a day to speak with Austin. God delivered him directly to me.

God does love me.

Random Quote:

“The American mind is not even close to being amenable to the ideogram principle as yet. The reason is simply this. America is 100% 18th Century. The 18th century had chucked out the principle of metaphor and analogy – the basic fact that as A is to B so is C to D. AB:CD. It can see AB relations. But relations in four terms are still verboten. This amounts to deep occultation of nearly all human thought for the U.S.A.

I am trying to devise a way of stating this difficulty as it exists. Until stated and publicly recognized for what it is, poetry and the arts can't exist in America. Mere exposure to the arts does nothing for a mentality which is incorrigibly dialectical. The vital tensions and nutritive action of ideogram remain inaccessible to this state of mind.

With most cordial seasonable wishes for you and Mrs. Pound.”

- Marshall McLuhan, in his 1948 Christmas letter to poet Ezra Pound
