Transcript: 

the impartial "business" of nature, the lovely presence of my affinative friends. Yet I know if I never saw them again I shall not have lost them. After all I have never seen my own heart!
Will you share some inspiration with me. Get a book dealing with "The atom" -- The simple one by Bertrand Russell would perhaps suit you first. Read enough to understand a little about them then refer to the chart of the 92 elements or 92 atoms. Their "scientific" relationship -- in a kind of eccentric "scale" is so strangely beautiful and so suggestive. There is "design" "harmony" "order" and PURPOSE behind this visible and invisible universe that I think you will derive the same uplifting qualities which I did from them.
