Jordan explained how he had a crew in his office tearing up the place. So could we meet at your place? he said. That way he could take some measurements, note the color scheme, kill two birds with one stone. I gave him my address. That’s over by the Fetish Box, isn’t it? Yes, it is. Twenty minutes.
He said, “Determination is often the first chapter in the book of excellence.”
“Excuse me?”
“Maybe the photo’s of a long-distance runner on her last leg, gritting it out to the finish line.”
“Do you have one for honesty?”
“I can give you serenity.”
“I wish you could.”
“Will truth do?”
“Close enough.”
“Okay. An old man, red jacket, floppy cap, walks through the autumn woods in New England. Glorious colors. Clear, crisp. We can see the steam of his breath. His head’s down. Below that the word truth—all caps—and below that, Purity is born of virtue.”
