this is why you are brllnt; law as arts that can become dark = yessss. o, lee. always selling his soul for the wrong things and reasons--i was rewatching w spouse, and he was like, "does lee ever stop giving himself completely to people and causes that utterly frak him over?" and i said, "uhhhh... no. not really. there's just more or less foreknowledge of the misery." but i kind of like that about him, because he's earnest sometimes and cynical sometimes and it's all very real (which i didn't see the first time around), that quest to find the thing to give yourself to. eric hoffer would be twistedly proud.
i want to read this, whatever it is, that you write. because it's gonna be great. i don't leave a lot of feedback because my thoughts are really random and disarranged usually, but what you write maketh my heart to be glad (and sad, and so on; your bsg novels got me thru detox, and that's saying something), so again. best!
