I like the sense of freedom and openness, perhaps a languidity about your writing, unusual for academic writing.
Reading a conventional theoretical text is so different even if the writer shares perspectives and opinions. The rush of information coming from the page does not allow the reader to go “upstream” into the writer's head. The intention of your writing is so much inviting, so much like you, a meandering voyage of discovery. You like being alone, don't you?
Last night I dreamt of bodies as landscapes of learning, that bodies were texts. I've hardly dreamt since the PhD started. I know you think it's good to dream. You've said to allow myself the luxury to remember. How?
It's pouring here. I love the rain—cleansing. The rain refreshes the smells and life of the earth. What's the weather like there? I'm going to lie on some grass soon, when it dries. Miss you.
What do you mean you're thinking of all that's in front of me? Are you being fresh?

Thank you, regarding the front of me (metaphorically, literally, and physically). Wow, that's forward of you, Professor!
I like the suggestions you've sent regarding my proposal. I'll try to answer your questions below:
-
1. What's is my rationale? To interrupt discourse, demonstrate connections.
-
2. Why it is important? To build better communication practices, raise accessibility issues.
