“The important thing was that we were being polite and not saying all the things that were making us unhappy, which was the only way we knew how to love each other.”
How often do we act this way with each other, I wonder?

Back to A Tale for the Time Being
12 June 2018: Re-reading this wonderful book, this time because I am teaching it (for the first time!) in my summer class. Since I read it this morning, this passage where Nao is explaining her complicated interactions with her father, has been on my mind:
“The important thing was that we were being polite and not saying all the things that were making us unhappy, which was the only way we knew how to love each other.”
How often do we act this way with each other, I wonder?
