Acknowledgments
Writing this book was a very loving experience. For the parents they arein good times, bad times, all timesI wish to acknowledge my parents, Arlene and Everett Burres. The honorable actions and intentions of these loving people transcend their transgressions. My parents have been a stable and supportive anchor in all the years of my life, and I am grateful for that. I have traveled the world over, time and time again, and find that the time-honored values their lives reflect offer a valuable blueprint for emotional, spiritual, intellectual and physical well-being. That's a pretty powerful statement. I believe it to be true. Thank you, Mom and Dad, for all your day-after-day parenting, year after year. Thank you for giving me the experience of two loving parents under the same roof throughout childhoodI had no idea how difficult this is to pull off. Thank you for bandaging up all my physical wounds and for comforting my emotional onesand for not being the cause of either. Thank you for the depth and breadth and richness of the friendship we share. Thank you for allowing me to be all things with youfragile, powerful; to come for advice, to be needed for advice. Thank you for your example of authenticity, simplicity, self-discipline, courage. Thank you for knowing me so well; thank you for loving me in spite of knowing me so well.
