Summary
Somewhere inside him, he assumed, was the man he had been once, the young man who had known how to be himself, who had known who he was so strongly that he had been prepared to fight the world for it, who was told his job was to heal the world and who had believed it was ever possible to do so without breaking in turn, but the years had broken that piece by piece and he had reassembled the pieces, patching them with love and connection and belief in others and when those pieces fell, so too did the edifice they made, the mosaic neshama, and these were all too complicated to say, too hard to name, so he just said “I used to laugh.”
