I've broken so many hearts to save mine from shattering into pieces.

Small fragments
of things said in passing,
roll constantly through my mind.

Is there meaning 
or just something imagined 
or are they the same?

I want to ask, 
but the fear of breaking the thin thread between us 
stops me from going too far.

What would I have done if I&#39;d been put to the test? Would I have risked my own life for people I hardly knew? Probably, I would have looked the other way at best or become another apologist for evil at worst.

Old friends die on you, and they&#39;re irreplaceable. You become dependent.

Someone gave me a New Testament. I had never before read it systematically. Some parts made sense, some parts shocked me.

I have ended as a Reform Rabbi, grateful to Christianity for so many good things.

Early on I saw the repression and idolatry of Stalinism, and when it cracked, I was open to religion again.
