ought to be philosophicalabout the little things that happen tohim in this life,but I still find it diffi-cult to be more than one dimensionalabout them.For instance,it's impos-sible for me to philosophize aboutplanes\"delayed because of the latearrival of incoming aircraft\"or un-capped toothpaste tubes after I'vetold the kids a few hundred times to\"put the cap on the toothpaste!\"Then

interprets as warm andoften deeply moving spiritual lessons.  \n\n|  |  |\n| --- | --- |\n|  |  |\n|  |  |\n|  |  |\n|  |  |\n|  |  |\n|  |  |\n|  |  |\n|  |  |\n|  |  |\n|  |  |\n|  |  |\n|  |  |\n|
