Friendship

Will Richardson, for showing me that you don’t have to have had the same mother to be a
brother.

Bryan L. Walsch, for role modeling steadfastness, and the importance of family.

Dennis Weaver, for showing me everything there could be to know about male grace, and

about using one’s gifts and celebrity to enhance the lives of others.

Marianne Williamson, for demonstrating that spiritual and temporal leadership are not

mutually exclusive.

Oprah Winfrey, for modeling uncommon personal determination and bravery, and what it
means to put it all on the line for what you believe.

Gary Zukav, for modeling soft wisdom, and how to find Center, and the importance of
staying there.

These teachers, and many more, have I had, and from them have I learned. I know, then,

that any good thing that may proceed from me has come in some degree from them, for they

have taught it to me, and I have merely passed it on.

We are here to do that for each other, of course. We are all each other’s teachers. Are we
not truly blessed?
