Godfather
I broke the silence as I noticed that he too was lost in my eyes, “if you didn’t have the childhood that you had and you hadn’t found yourself in some street kid gang, what would you have wanted to be in life?”
He paused for a bit and I assumed it was in thought, “if I hadn’t had the childhood that I had, I probably would’ve wanted a more carefree life. I would have probably wanted to find peace in my life so I think I’d be a monk.”
“Don’t you want peace, now? Don’t you think that maybe…you should change? You can still become a monk, I’m sure of it,” I delicately touched his cheek, my heart at peace in his presence.
