On presenting Faulkner's First Edition

To my dear friend:

Life’s character is undiscovered country and at times is relentless in the presentation of its common and ordinary nature. If we, by lack of perception or pure inattention, are persuaded to embrace this adaptation, life emerges painted in muted tones.

Yet life’s nature has a much broader and deeper richness of tone then accepted by inattentiveness. It is abounding with beauty and delight that is offered for the taking by passionate seekers of its heart.

If life can do no more then illustrate its nature, it has outdone itself with you. You are a First Edition, one of a kind, an uncommon individual that continues to reveal the deep colors of life to all who know you.
