Sam, You are the master of perception--and with empathy. Quite a combination. I have what I've viewed, likely incorrectly, as "raw" and now think is a shameful tendency to say where I am, as when I spoke this morning about something no one wants to hear about. So let's just say, "I'm confused". Put it on my tombstone. Fab post.

Thank you Mary! I guess my feeling is that truth is always raw. And then there's a moment when something that was raw becomes mannered and performative - it's the feeling we all get when we tell the same story or joke too many times and feel to ourselves that we have become a ham. It's a very strange fautlline - and my conviction is that it's at the heart of aesthetics. - Sam
