Jesse Rosenthal on “Mitzvah Bells:”

Deep in the fissures of the angled mind, grows the thirst for conspiracy. A kind of gravity that pulls toward a solipsistic enlightenment— fire and brush. In this darkness, a family of gods lies in wait. There, the words are whispered and the rite of passage begins. Some of us wish we could return to this moment, when boy becomes man, and set in motion a different kind of momentum.
