...he phoned me. And he wanted to know how to cook a pork roast. I told him, and as I began the telling, and he was listening carefully, my enthusiasm for my subject grew, and suddenly, together we were making gravy from drippings, and Yorkshire puddings, and we were both excited and happy. And then we began to talk about people, the people in his group, the couple making out on the couch while he was talking to me, and how the guy was completely self-centered and egotistical, one of those Aura of Privilege types.
And we discussed that Aura, and how my brother has it, and how effective it is in attracting the wrong type of person, the person who is swayed by it and excited and made somehow, temporarily at least, happy. We talked about others who have it, and how lucky he was, to be my son, the son of a single mother. I told him how his father had had that Aura, and how, if we'd stayed together, my son may not be the exceptional person he is today.
