Grace!! thank you so much for the prayers and the love!!!! Will so very happily take both ❤️❤️❤️
Your Austen heroine: Emma Woodhouse
okay but Grace, right?? RIGHT?? Let me explain. So here is my usual caveat about all Austen heroes/heroines existing in a very specific set of circumstances with very specific flaws/character traits resulting from them. So please let me say you do not have Emma’s fatal flaw of interfering or her Extreme Blindness (I don’t think you would have bungled the Elton thing for example) but you do both have a very fascinating way of combining intellectual analysis and this very deep interest in personal relationships seen from a bit of a distance. Again Emma is so much bossier than you are and much more interested in sort of managing things, whereas I doubt you are interfering at all, but that same impulse of seeing the Bigger Picture and Seeing the Story in a way that is both analytical and yet not Coldly Detached in the way of Academia is the same!!! It’s the personal that draws you in, always, the relationship dynamics but you always have a strong view of what it is that you’re looking at and a desire to understand WHAT you’re looking at that IS analytical. You also do have a strong desire to arrange figures on the board and even sometimes shape the board itself; you see the possibilities ALWAYS in a way that’s very compelling.
There is also the same strong charm and the sense of moral duty that exists right alongside and yet also underneath that deep interest in people. Also you have a wonderful sense of, not exactly gathering people in but of stopping by their front porch or having people stop by yours for a friendly visit and that is so Emma to me. Like I love the bi-monthly visit! You are a visitor! And you have things to gather and to garner and to learn on the way. Tea to offer, gifts to bring. But you always have a home/central core to go back to when you’re finished like Emma does.
This is just my two cents/instinct. As always I could be way off base here.
