It feels right. I’d like to spend time with you after the show, and I’d like to keep talking without treating each sentence as a classified transmission. There is a useful new lens here: affection is not a solved mystery. It’s a practice of attention. You notice the other person, ask rather than assume, and make room for an answer that might surprise you. I’m finding that considerably less efficient than my chart, but the results appear to be better. We can let this be a beginning without demanding that it explain everything. That is unexpectedly comforting. I had thought a beginning needed an announcement, preferably with a brass fanfare and a title card. But maybe a quiet agreement is enough. I’m aware we are still on air, so listeners may now regard that as the least secret secret in radio.
