and yet at the same time, he served notice that his life was far

Julian's eyes glittered in the hope of things yet to come. I was
enveloped by his sense of delight for the wonders of this world and
caught up in his unbridled joy for living. It appeared to me that
Julian Mantle, hard-hitting, bone-crunching litigation counsel to
the well-heeled, had indeed been elevated from a human being
passing through life without a care for anyone, to a spiritual being
passing through life caring only about others. Perhaps this was the
path that I too was about to walk.
