As a young man, I told my Methodist pastor that I thought that there were "many paths to God/enlightenment." She responded, "yes, and the key is to pick one."

Perhaps the Dalai Lama means that most all spiritual beliefs can lead to the same place and one is not any better than the other. The key is finding your path within that framework.

Sure, I enjoyed the questions it arose. Is that your blog? If so, did you take the photos on the main page? They are really spectacular.

My wife took those photos. She used to be a professional photographer. The one with the little church house is Switzerland, the mountains and lakes are in Idaho, the cityscape is Marseille and there's one of my back on a beach in San Francisco.

Well, I'm sure I am not telling you anything you don't already know, but your wife has some major skills. Those are really great shots. Please send her my compliments.
