I look out from my 19th story window across to the settting sun. I look down on 10th avenue, and can see the kids playing basketball in the playground next to the public school. The yellow taxis run up the street in a mad rush to greet the next passenger. I look down 10th Avenue and see the projects across the street from Lincoln Center. This view was much better than my apartment last year, which looked down on the law school and didn't have the river view. Even though I see the projects, the river view makes up for it. But last year, I could look down on the Rock Garden.
The Rock Garden. I stopped looking out from my window and took the elevator down there earlier this afteroon. Today the residence hall hosted a little event for Cinco de Mayo. Even though we're in the midst of finals, it's like she and I were there alone, standing amongst the tall boulders moved by ancient glaciers, and the roses and tulips that decorate the place. I have to go to the library tonight - I'm there now in the computer lab as I type this. And even though she has dancing class tonight (on a Saturday), we had a little time to spend together. Manhattan has lots of places like the Rock Garden, especially Central Park. An ingenious guy can find the most romantic places to take a girl out, when the stars reflect off the golden sheen of Broadway, and we can stroll down Central Park West to this little ice cream shop near 72nd street. But the Rock Garden is where I met her for the first time. That beautiful, sweet, innocent girl. The undergraduate dancer who stirred every Red Blooded American Male on the Upper West Side, who for some amazing reason found something worthwhile in me out of all the others and has made the universe a bright place to live in again. I think of her, and it's hard to get offended at petty things like a pathetic movie being made in some distant part of the world. She is here, NOW, with her absolutely beautiful eyes and her perfect smile. And I gaze into the luninousness of her eyes and we lose ourselves in the peace of the afternoon.
Back to work. I head up to the law school library and read a bit of my notes for the Mergers & Acquisitions final on Monday night. But I can't concentrate, I know the material already, and whenever I'm with with her at the Rock Garden I lose myself in memory. I really gotta stop going there when I should be concentrating on finals. Women get into your head like that, and you can't get them out. Her smile is burned in my brain for all eternity. It's a curse to have that kind of memory sometimes, even though it's only hours since we parted. The insufferable impossibility of knowing you can't concentrate again until you see her. I hate to do it, but I have to push her out of my mind again and read some more. 20 pages later, I know it's a useless effort. I give it up for the night. M&A will have to wait until tomorrow. That's what our time together in the Rock Garden will do to me. And I'm sure she's dancing in her ballet class at Lincoln Center right now, and a part of her mind is on me.
Love is like that. I am at war with anyone who would think of doing harm to her. And she knows I'd step in front of a moving bus if it would spare her from harm. No one really knows the lengths that they'll go for something until they understand what passion really is. Passion. To care for someone, or something, so well - to know it and to achieve that moment when you understand it fully, and to love it all the more. That is passion - the unity of knowledge and love. Who has truly had that? Perhaps more than others would suggest. I read of stories in the Bible called "The Passion of Christ," and the Jesuits at Church can explain it as a concept, but as a feeling it's hard to imagine. Until you experience it for yourself.
Men of courage and convinction, men of passion, men of principle, are called unreasonable by some. The slow decay of society makes these men almost anachronistic in this day and age. How many people who are addicted to "Friends" and "Sex in the City" could really understand the moments we have together in the Rock Garden? How many people whose business it is to make hard choices understand the principled disagreement of a foe? I am at WAR with anyone who would do her harm. War - and I've always been a take no prisoners kind of guy. I am at WAR with anyone who would do damage to the passionate care I hold for a work like Lord of the Rings.
It is precisely her caring smile, her luminous enchanting eyes, that motivates a man like myself to those lengths. No one would hold passion for a thing he did not love. And passion is required to take extreme steps (though to date I'm glad I haven't had to step in front of a moving bus :-)). It is precisely the care and feeling I get when reading Lord of the Rings, the connection and the understanding of the book, and the issues I can relate to, that generates my unwavering principled defense. WAR. Take no prisoners. Black verses White. The battle lines have been laid.
Would anyone allow their loved ones harm? I will not, because of principle. Because of passion. I will fight until the movies come out, and then some, protecting Tolkien and the book, with unwavering support. I will never give up. I will never admit defeat. Just as those who live in the projects across the street would have to kill me to do her harm, so would they have to put a bullet in my brain to stop me from protesting the attacks on the story I love.
Passion cannot easily be understood by those until you experience it yourself. I sincerely hope that all of you do, someday. If you ever need a place to try, come to the Rock Garden.
She had lost him. He was polite, affable, and unforgiving.
How men feared women! she thought, walking among the late-flowering roses. Not as individuals, but women when they talked together, worked together, spoke up for one anotherthen men saw plots, cabals, constraints, traps being laid.
