To my dearest friends, “I want to unfold in your sight.” I want to be clear, I want there to be no doubt about me. There should be no hidden corners. I will be as transparent to you as I am to myself. I think there is no reason to be otherwise, and there is all the incentive to unfold before you.
Where I am closed, I am false. I am less real than I can be, and that is neither good for you or for me. I have the ability to be an illusory figure, but that is not what I want. I have been taught and warned to be a calculating illusionist. That is not a role I chose to play. I want to be a reality you can rely on and not a wispy apparition rising from your imagination or mine.
All this I expect of myself and want from you.
