Tom Bissell Quotes

Sitting There, I Remembered Two Things About Going To Mass With My Father: He Never Took Communion Because Of His And My Mother's Divorce, And He Always Tapped His Heart Three Times, With Solemn Insistence, After The Recitation Of The Apostles' Creed. I Asked Him About His Ritual Once. His Eyes Filled With Such Alarm That I Instantly Knew His Heart Tapping Had Something To Do With A Loss Or Devastation: His Parents' Early Death, His Divorce, His Wounding In Vietnam. There Was No Reason For Me To Invade That Space. Maybe That Was The Best Simple Explanation For Religion: It Filled Our Spaces.
