In 1960
I received a letter from
a university president
giving me an
appointment for the following
academic year.
I called
Mother to tell her the good
news.
I said,
“I’m to be a Fellow in the
Center for Advanced Studies at
Wesleyan University.”
Mother said,
“Why are they always connecting
you with the dance?”
Then, after a pause,
she added,
“Do they
know you’re a Zen Buddhist?”
