I started going to sweats. I started burning sweet grass and I started believing...I think spiritual now. As I go through the day I try to be a spiritual person. I don't make decisions based on selfishness and self-will. It's a bit of AA philosophy and Indian philosophy.

Perhaps there is a better way--we think so. For we are now on a different basis; the basis of trusting and relying on God. We trust infinite God rather than our finite selves. We are in the world to play the role He assigns us. Just to the extent that we do as we think He would have us, and humbly rely on Him, does He enable us to match calamity with serenity.
