it's essential.
he has to be smarter than I am on lots of different levels - he must be able to see my sneaky mind's workings: he has to understand my vocab. He just has to be smarter than I am.
He's not as creative as I am, I don't think. He doesn't understand some things I do, like, the beauty of a biscuit fresh from the oven, made from sctratch, with clotted cream and wild blueberry jam my friend made. Or how certain colours call each other, or shapes need other shapes, or how the purring of a cat curled next to the ear can calm some of the night demons.
He doesn't know everything, he doesn't know everything I know. But yeah, he's has to be smarted than I am, for sure.
