I need to think more about what I'd like to say here, so more to come, but I do want to say that many of the people who have most influenced me I encountered in the pages of their books or in exhibitions of their work. As I took in their thoughts, ideas, experiences, and imaginings, my interactions with them felt like a personal relationship. I think it is this personal relationship with art, and especially with writing, that led me to become a writer and photographer. In a small way, by passing on the best of what I know, I am paying back a debt to the long-dead authors and artists who have given so much to me.

As a therapist, I accompany my clients on the sometimes smooth, sometimes rocky journeys of their own paths to wholeness. We form a bond, and I serve as both companion and guide. They trust me because they know, as the late Leonard Cohen put it, “I’ve been where you’re hanging, I think I can see where you’re pinned.� In my book Paths to Wholeness, I hope to engender a similar sense of accompaniment. My path to wholeness began with a brush with death that altered, physically, emotionally, and intellectually, who I am. In this book, I worked hard to distill the best of what I’ve learned on the two-decade quest since then, from my career as a psychotherapist, and in the many years I have been on the planet. It is my attempt to offer what I've gleaned in the same spirit that authors and artists from the past have shared their teachings and experiences with me.
