“We can learn from the grass, tiny fragile blades that somehow manage to push through the cracks in the cement of the sidewalk. We can learn from water, wearing down mountains into sand, from little droplets becoming floods, oceans, tidal waves. We can learn from all upheavals from struggles for justice because they only seem inevitable in hindsight-- while they are happening they feel grueling if not impossible. We can learn from Elie Wiesel, who shared his bread in the concentration camp so more people could eat some instead of hording it so he could eat fully.”

“That's my little piece of heaven. Go ahead." Ciro followed Remo through the open door to a small enclosed garden. Terra-cotta pots positioned along the top of the stone wall spilled over with red geraniums and orange impatiens. An elm tree with a wide trunk and deep roots filled the center of the garden. Its green leaves and thick branches reached past the roof of Remo's building, creating a canopy over the garden. There was a small white marble birdbath, gray with soot, flanked by two deep wicker armchairs. Remo fished a cigarette out of his pocket, offering another to Ciro as both men took a seat. "This is where I come to think." "Va bene," Ciro said as he looked up into the tree. He remembered the thousands of trees that blanketed the Alps; here on Mulberry Street, one tree with peeling gray bark and holes in its leaves was cause for celebration.”
