During one of the most inspiring experiences of my life, there was the opportunity to draw upon and prove the spiritual truths that have brought me great joy on many occasions through the years.

In May 1985 I traveled with a group on a tour through the Holy Land. On our final exploration I had been taking pictures and holding my mini-cassette recorder near the guide as usual, when I noticed a strange feeling in my right arm. The group moved on and were unaware that my equipment had fallen to the ground. Try as I might, my right hand could not grasp anything.

Immediately what came to me was to "be instant in season" and deny vigorously that any form of evil could spoil or touch my real being. Eventually I collected the fallen objects with my left hand, placed them in my bag, and caught up with the group.
