Showing Up Is Worth More Than a Speech
In his story, César learned this the hard way. The goldsmith who trained him, Encik Rahman, died of a heart attack while he'd been putting off a visit for months. Since then he doesn't put things off: when he thinks he should go see someone, he takes the bike and goes, that same day. His affection isn't spoken, it shows up in person. With very few people, and with them, completely. Wearing his face is wearing that way of loving: the kind that gets something done and doesn't talk about it.
