Mr.<br>Fiorello loved his hair and never wanted it to go away. But, sometimes, the<br>things we care the most about, the things we never want to see gone, leave<br>anyway. Such is the fate of Mr. Fiorello and his hair.</p><p>Fortunately, he still has a head on his<br>shoulders and thoughts in his head, which help him to navigate his loss and<br>disappointment in favor of a larger possibility. Possibilities that lead him<br>from his apartment into the world, to grow and tend to a larger garden than the<br>hairs on his own head.</p><p> <p> <p> <p> <p></p><p>We may not have control over many things in our<br>lives, but when we do the work inside our own heads that we need to do, our<br>most petty concerns give way to a larger, more generous conception of the world<br>and our place in it.</p>
