Only find vestiges
We can only ever find vestiges of ourselves—as we were, as we imagine ourselves to be, or to come to be.

What to ripen
There is more grief in our world than we allow. Every loss—death or other removal of spouse, child, parent—even to the small angers over losing an argument (our belief in our justice) or a frustrating day (it’s not fair!), or a minor betrayal by a friend—every loss leads us to grieve. So, one function of conversation is to demonstrate our need of others to help us find and ripen our vulnerability.
