From the age of three on, as far back as I remember, I just knew there was a God behind everything.
I gave examples from my clinical practice of how love was not wholly a thought or feeling. I told of how that very evening there would be some man sitting at a bar in the local village, crying into his beer and sputtering to the bartender how much he loved his wife and children while at the same time he was wasting his family's money and depriving them of his attention. We recounted how this man was thinking love and feeling love--were they not real tears in his eyes?--but he was not in truth behaving with love.
But for the first time, I had a religious identity. I had come home. And so I called myself a Zen Buddhist at the age of 18.
