may brilliancy be what makes you, not break you
unsent letter n.4, May 19, 08
“It doesn’t all make sense. I think I know why you turn inward to yourself so often…because you find yourself to be the only one left standing after all that’s said and done. Everyone and everything else has failed you. God, I, your family, your friends…and you turn to yourself. I don’t blame you. You are so brilliant…so beautifully brilliant, but terribly so. I could never do or say anything to persuade you of anything, as much as I would like to.
“The fact is, hawk…I am afraid I am never, ever, going to see you again.”
