The effect Bruce has had on my life is profound. There’s no question that knowing him has changed me, changed my relationship to the world, profoundly. I’ll admit that there were times when I felt restrained, somewhat…bridled. There were times when the mission seemed like a lot to carry…Times, even, when I wondered if the whole thing didn’t go against my essential nature. More often, though, this work that I’ve done with Bruce has felt like an avocation, a perfect expression of everything I’ve ever been capable of becoming. And I know in my heart that I would have been lost without it. Just like I know in my heart that I have to find my way back.
