This letter from Kurt to the Director of the Honors Program at the University of Houston may never have been sent, though this copy was found in a folder marked “carbons.” Kurt did have an on-going relationship with the University of Houston in the late 1960s; he participated in some receptions for composer Morton Feldman, and wrote the text for an art exhibit. But this letter sounds suspiciously tongue-in-cheek, and draws upon his mid-1970’s preoccupation with Omasters. He writes,
“We envisage a reasonably quiet theater piece including: demonstration of a Tantric lymphatic massage technique from the Swar Yoga teachings through Harish Jobari, making tea in the tradition of Shakuhachi Unzen, an early mythical California master and founder of the Teahouse of Necessity.”
