Self-Realization Fellowship seemed like training. It was the training ground for finding a sense of peace in myself. Because that's my job. It's no one else's.
I was very short. Everybody else was two years older in my class, and I had curly hair and was teacher's pet.
Carol: Mug me or marry me, Shakes. I'm too tired for anything else.
Writing is more about imagination than anything else. I fell in love with words. I fell in love with storytelling.
