broken

The Young Man came to the Old Man seeking counsel.
I broke something, Old Man.
How badly is it broken?
It's in a million little pieces.
I'm afraid I can't help you.
Why?
There's nothing you can do.
Why?
It can't be fixed.
Why?
It's broken beyond repair. It's in a million little pieces.
-introduction from A Million Little Pieces by James Frey

Hey--anything worth having is worth fixing, as needed. You are totally up to the challenge. I have faith in you.
Love,
