A Note on the Local
The local is not a place but a place in a given man – what part of it
he has been compelled or else brought by love to give witness to in
his own mind. And that is THE form, that is, the whole thing, as
whole as it can get.
I think we will be fools to be embarrassed by it. We know the
other neatness possible, the way of the neat pattern, and the dodging
which it must call for. Grace has no part in that. At some point
reached by us, sooner or later, there is no longer much else but
ourselves, in the place given to us. To make that present, and actual
for other men, is not an embarrassment, but love.
First person, no. 1, 1961.
