Reading a New Yorker article about RuPaul, an entertainer I'd heard of but really knew very little about, I took two thoughts of his. But, the contradictions! He wants us to protect and keep the play of our childhoods even as we acknowledge that with aging comes disappointment. Can we as adults leave behind the fairy tales - which means facing and then fighting the trials in the world - while keeping what we can of their happy endings?
Possible?
