The first email I received was a single sentence:

Please describe an “imperceptible error.”

Mary

I wrote back:

Dear Mary,

That’s a good question, but to answer adequately I might need to sketch diagrams and would definitely require a dry erase board. But I will give it a go; it is, after all, in my profile. I would say imperceptible errors are the errors which define a person, and in defining are imperceptible as parts. They are what make the person who she or he is and adds to their charm. I just looked up “error” in the Oxford English Dictionary. Its original meaning was “to wander,” as in Alfred Lord Tennyson’s “The damsel’s headlong error thro’ the wood.” I like the idea of wanderings which cannot be “apprehended with the mind or senses” or be captured. How is that?

Brett
