The Angel Files
Art by Yitzchok Schmukler
It all started when I woke up one morning with a question eating at the corner of my brain: What is a soul?
In the words of a great American philosopher and baseball coach, "If you don't know what you're looking for, you ain't gonna find it." What the heck is a soul? Is it big or small? How do you measure it? What color is it? Where does it like to hang out? Does it laugh when you tickle it? How will I know it's what I'm looking for when I find it?
