Subject: DO NOT REPLY

This is to announce that you should send email to mercury@leland.Stanford.edu NOT the address written at the top of this message. Also, do not send any letters to the Polish address. If you wish to write, please send mail to:306 Ashton Ln Mill Valley CA 94941 I will be kinda out of contact for then next month but please keep me informed. I will probably check my email at least once before I go to Latvia (6th) and once when I return to Krakow for a day (11th). I also may be able to access email in my travels through Western Europe. I will also send one more mass mail. Thanks for writing to me over the past 4 months, it has made Poland enjoyable. Also, thanks to those who enjoyed reading about my brilliant exploits during my time here. So now you won't have to ask me "how was Poland" and I won't be forced to pause, think, and then say "good...cold, but interesting." or something equally vacuous .Do videniya, Zacharias Formanski

Przypowiesc (Parable) Some fishermen pulled a bottle from the deep. In it was a scrap of paper, on which were written the words: "Someone, save me! Here I am. The ocean has cast me up on a desert island. I am standing on the shore waiting for help. Hurry. Here I am!" "There is no date. Surely it is too late by now. The bottle could have been floating in the sea a long time," said the first fisherman. "And the place is not indicated. We do not even know which ocean," said the second fisherman. "It is neither too late nor too far. The island called Here is everywhere," said the third fisherman. They all felt uneasy. A silence fell. So it is with universal truths. -Wislawa Szymborska (Winner of 1996 Nobel Prize For Literature)
