Excerpt
I would need to search for a spiritual home and God within the context of my life as a father, husband, and payer of bills. I couldn’t even think of traveling to an ashram in India or a monastery in Greece. Any dancing with dervishes I’d do would need to take place within 100 miles or so of New York City. Could I pull that off? And what if my spiritual quest was successful? Would I find myself being pulled in directions that would take me away from the people I loved?
