Dear Hans Ulrich:
Tonight I am thinking about my unrealized projects. I have many of them. One is: To publish a book of IDEAS. I consider that ideas are the cheapest thing in the world. I have about 10,000 of them. But I have no time to put them all in a book form.
Another project: To issue all my film diaries, 60 hours of it, But I have no fiances for it. So I keep issuing them piece by piece.
Another unrealized project: all my written diaries. Anno 1946-1997. I need one year vacation from Anthology -- which means, someone else has to raise c.$300,000 to keep it going --- to prepare these diaries for publication. Many have asked for them. But I have no time do it: I am slave of Anthology.
Project Four: I would like, as a project, to side on a bank of a river and watch the waters flow and do nothing, for one year. That would give me greatest ecstasy.
Jonas Meckas
P.S. Now mmm I'll reveal my most secret dream: to build, some day, a house, exactly the same way that my father used to build, of wood, and of stone. This will be my ultimate project, some day, such a house. It has eternity in it. And I know how to do it. Ihave watched my father do it many many times, when I was a child. I know I can continue his craft.
