It has been a while since we have lit a campfire…this 38th campfire

talks about events in 2001. In the spring of that year I shared a book I

created with a few family and friends. The manuscript contained my journey

for “authenticity, belonging, and confidence” or, put

another way, “a search for truth, home, and to find myself.”

Somehow putting that quest into words freed a number of fears that were unconsciously

lodged inside of me. This campfire ends with The Brothers Four in Japan the

week after 9/11 with both the country and me wondering what all may await.
