letra de letter to daniel & vera - nick cave & warren ellis
dear daniel
shyness is the tentative sound of the orchestra tuning up before the symphony begins. it is a beautiful, fractured piece of music in itself. it is the orchestra attempting to find its shared intent and is over all too quickly if you ask me
in some circumstances shyness never finds its harmonic agreement and the situation will never be in tune. yet shyness is a gift that can also be the sometimes crippling, often ovеrpowering, intuition that the next thing lifе presents is potentially momentous, be it beautiful or devastating, where an exchanged few words or a gesture is a gateway to a new and unknown world. from these intimations of excruciating clarity, we can fall through our shyness into moments of earth-shaking significance, and our lives can change completely
my wife, susie, has a hummingbird shyness. in social situations she displays herself for a magical, weightless moment then darts away. it is as if she is so acutely tuned into the inherent discomfort of others, whether they display it or not, that the situation becomes overwhelming. she is a rare thing, an exhibitionist that hates to be seen
my initial dinner ‘date’ with susie was an awkward and hesitant affair because we both intuited, on some deep level, that we stood at the threshold of another life that would stretch on indefinitely into the future. we did not know what that life would be, and it was undeclared between us, but our mutual shyness was the orchestra tuning up, with its flutters and discords, as it tried to find its shared melodic objective. in the end, i did what was a potentially life-deranging act and lunged hideously and impulsively through the membrane of our mutual shyness, grabbed my future wife and kissed her. she responded in kind and our shyness dropped away and, well, the symphony began. shyness became the firewall through which we walked to a strange and different world, and here we are, together
