Dear Valerie and SignWriting List, I would like to tell you about some very nice things that have happened since Tini submitted poems to Cyberjer.com and to the list. Letters of encouragement have arrived at our mailbox. We like to thank Valerie, Jerry and Stefan for their help. It would not have been possible without receiving their advice. Stefan asked us to have a second look at some of the signs that appeared in those poems. He did not say that they were wrong or that we should redraw them. No, he just asked us to have a good look at them to see if we really said, in signwriting form, what we wanted to say. What a fantastic way of teaching! He encouraged us to improve on those signs if we felt that that was necessary. Tini did rework some of those signs and we sent them to him for commentary. We know that Stefan's dream is to support Valerie in her idea to spread SignWriting. To spread it in such a way that not too many different constructions of signs are created. Admittedly there cannot be complete uniformity, but we should be able to keep the differences to a minimum. Stefan mentioned that one way of doing this, is to have a little seminar via the List. We know that we have benefited greatly from the recent e-mail chats we had with Stefan these last few days. We would like to continue these little seminars via the list, in order that we can all learn from it. What do you think? Tini and Henk. | ||||||||||||
