Got a lovely letter today
Got a lovely letter today from someone very dear to me, and thought I would share part of it, as it pertains (in a nice way) to an earlier post, and it made me happy.
I read a line in a book last night that I’m now going to [send you] as it pertains to oh, so, much, particularly that word “healthy” and those who might misunderstand us (because everyone knows that you, me, and all those we hold dear are entirely misunderstood by the People of Thebes):
“Bill took all of this home to Carol, but Carol was disturbed. What she loved in Bill was his normality. She had been trained to confuse that with virtue. What Bill was involved in now was nothing to do with normality.” —Geoff Ryman, “WAS”
Of course, the bit that’s missing from that above passage is how much harder the other kind of virtue is and how it’s rewards, though rich, are not recognized by those trained in normality either.
Thank god for theatre.
And sweet friends.
