I can feel your wrap up

[reader1]

I am really going to miss this story. I feel like it has given me a little glimpse into your soul. Never has the metaphor been stronger than in this chapter. From the "searching for the thing that makes one different" to the cults that form when the ones that dare to be different reveal themselves to the world, this chapter does perfect justice to the plight of the individual in a pluralistic society.

I can't wait to see what Vic has to say in this little chat that I fear will be the end of this imaginative and important story. Somehow I believe it will give us a little more about your inner struggle, and let us relate to the struggles that we all have. Whether we are gay, or black, or a woman, or overweight, or have a lisp, or a physical or mental disability, or anything else that sets us apart from what the media and the modern culture say the perfect person should be, we can all gather together and celebrate this story. We will never be accepted by everyone. We can never be fully accepting of other people's differences either. But stories like this let us learn a lot about tolerance and inclusion, and acceptance, as well as celebrating our differences. And it says it in an entertaining and articulate way, that lets us take our medicine with a spoonful of sugar, or maybe serum in this case! LOL

Thanks for sharing your brilliance with us. And let that talented partner of yours know that we miss his as well. I'm forced to pull out Silence and Tears to get my fix! For shame! LOL

Love to the family, Sherrie

I love Vic...but couldn't he have shown up just a bit later? LOL

Nice-very interesting. Alberic makes some good points about us humans. More, please.

I just re-read that one, myself.
It is one of my favorites, and helps fill the void of 'really good Randall stuff' ! :)
I've re-read all of Randall's stories, several times. As I suspect we all have.
I've read all of Brian's at least twice. :) - Can't imagine I'm alone in that group, either ! :)

Hugs, Anita.

Nope, not alone.

It was just last week that I re-read some of Randall.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh, the past. Sometimes, I long for it.

I love the phrase, individual in a plursitic society. Very interesting, Sherrie. Thank you for the lovely comment, too. I do appreciate your support so much!
