My deep gratitude to you for your words.

Here's a story:

I'd just moved in to this valley, with many wanderers passing through as they tackled the PCT and their own paths. As I was putting air in my tires, a young man came up to, who'd been sitting on the ground behind the gas station. "Do you believe in God?" he asked. I saw his young trouble, and said, "I don't know about 'believing,' but when I have a problem to solve, I just sit still somewhere for a half hour or so. Problems become clear." He thanked me heartily.
