Things aren't necessarily held back by their limits. The limits built into things make them what they are; they wouldn't be as good without them.
So with this conversation standing alone, thought of as standing alone. You know it will end so you notice everything--the time, the place, the people. It's self-contained. Out of time, place, society, even as it has very distinctive time, place, society. You carve out a block of grace for yourself and maybe for this other person.
