I traveled around America and then at nineteen, went to Europe and hitchhiked from London to the Himalayas in India. I studied various forms of Christianity, Judaism, Islam, and in India, various forms of Buddhism and Hinduism.

This allowed me to share that gift, which I consider to be a very deep universal expression of compassion.
