We had a great moment when Kate and I were having a fight when we were in our early, our first year together, basically, living at my mom's old house. We'd had a bit of a tussle and climbed into bed kind of mad with each other and thought, you know, and I heard this huge bang in the living room and thought, what the heck? So I reached out of the bed, and I grabbed a golf club.
I kept there for that reason. And Kate said she was going to go.
Kate went back to bed. I walked in. The TV was on. And I thought, well, I know I turned that off. So it was weird. Looked around a little bit. turn it off, and thought, thanks, Mom. Don't go to bed angry with each other. So I went into the room, and then Kate said, what did your mom smell like?
It was really something. Really something. I thought, well, this is real. This is not some heretical thing going on. And when you mentioned that people object to discussing faith or not discussing it enough... I'm not a proselytizer. I don't try to convince people they should think the way I think or see God the way I see God or experience this universe the way I experience it.
But I will not deny my faith. I will not say, you know, to make someone else comfortable to say, oh, no, I don't believe any of that. I'm not going to try to force you to think the way I think or feel what I feel, but I'm not going to deny it. So I have this relationship with Jesus, with God. It's an open conduit. It just exists. And I did question it for a long time.
So believe me, I fought my way to get here and realized after all this time, oh, you were always there? Oh, what was wrong with me? Well, there was nothing wrong with me. Just I wasn't ready to listen.
Um, well, there are a few things along the way that came by, you know, it's, I had a reading with one of these people that does this sort of thing.
And I was doubting, you know, how did I get to this place? And it just came out. It said, do you think you could have done this without, if God didn't love you?
Oh, maybe. Maybe not. So that was a great sort of just frank reminder that this has been along for the ride the whole time. Some other medium years ago, Clairvoyant, whatever you want to call him, when I was a very young man, said, oh, you're a sun worshiper. Well, I was actually. I mean, I believe that when I went to
When I went to New York City for the first time, knowing that I was going to never leave there again, that I was in for the long haul, having come from Florida and surfing, I was going to go try to be an actor. I was 18, and I just got this message, just swallow the sun. Swallow the sun. Have it shine within you for your whole life. Oh, that'll help. Okay, that's a good idea. Yeah.
So wherever that came from. And that reminded me, oh, yeah, I am sort of a sun worshiper. That light, that golden light that exists in us and outside of us at all times is one of those gifts that just says, I'm right over here.
My wife has a saying. She says, always declare God your partner. And I like that idea a lot. Whether I consciously did that in my previous lifetimes, I don't know. But I think there is an alignment that occurs if you're... Having luck is considered, by W.H. Auden, having luck is considered alignment with providence, meaning God. And I like that idea.
But if you have the wherewithal, the time, the good fortune to hear what your calling is, what your mission is, because it comes up a lot. All of a sudden, somebody's saying, I want you to do a play for me. That's what happened to me. They said, I think you'd be good in this role. And suddenly I'm standing there thinking, oh, I'm going to go be an actor.
So these things that sort of bookmark our lives or landmark our lives are... indications of where we can go. Like somebody said recently, I heard somebody say, I guess it's from Robert Frost, if you see a fork in the road, take it. Oh no, I think it was Yogi Berra. Yogi Berra. I think he said it. If you see a fork in the road, take it.
You have these things that come and hit you on the head, and if you don't hear them, you know, there was a moment in my life when I was walking up the street to go move in with a girlfriend. It was a bad decision. It was a temporary stopover, let's say. Oh, we've all had them. It turned out poorly. But as I walked toward this moment when I'd be moving in,
I heard more fire engines and more sirens than I'd ever heard in my life, to the point where my dog, who was my greatest friend at the time, was howling uncontrollably. And I kept thinking, oh, wait a minute. I thought of Carlos Castaneda and how the universe attempts to inform your choices. am I making a mistake? And then I shook it off and said, no, that's crazy to think that.
But at least it crossed my mind. I've never forgotten it as a result. It just was like everything in the universe was saying, you don't need to do this. But I did it anyway. So sometimes we listen, sometimes we don't. If you have the good fortune to hear it in the nick of time and take that course, God is with you. Jesus is with you, whatever.
And the book I turned in after all this time, I was in a conversation with Jesus. And I thought, boy, this is really, really interesting, but it's as clear and vivid as anything I've ever done. And, uh, yeah, I was like, Hey, you don't need to keep carrying this. I've got it.
what do you mean? I got it. I mean, I'm fine. I can handle it. It's all right. He said, no, this is not for you. That's why I came. You don't need to carry this.
It's a good thing.
