“People think that intimacy is about sex. But intimacy is about truth. When you realize you can tell someone your truth, when you can show yourself to them, when you stand in front of them bare and their response is “You’re safe with me”—that’s intimacy.”

“I think part of what had made me so angry with my mum was the fact that I felt she should have been looking after me, not the other way around. But Mum couldn’t be my shoulder to cry on, not when she was bent double with grief herself. That’s the messy thing about family tragedy, I guess. Your best support network goes under in an instant.”

“Bud’s Jazz Records is there too. Just down the street, in the heart of Seattle’s Pioneer Square. It’s easy to miss but hard to forget. I popped in once to take some publicity photos. The owner simply asked, “Is this for good or for evil?” I said, “Good,” of course. “Good enough for me” was his smooth reply.”

“Sean, my Yogic Irish dairy farmer, explained it to me this way. “Imagine that the universe is a great spinning engine,” he said. “You want to stay near the core of the thing—right in the hub of the wheel—not out at the edges where all the wild whirling takes place, where you can get frayed and crazy. The hub of calmness—that’s your heart. That’s where God lives within you. So stop looking for answers in the world. Just keep coming back to that center and you’ll always find peace.”
