[August 1998 journal entry]
At a recent breakfast gathering of young physicians, I was asked what has a ‘reviving’ effect on me. My response – stillness, silence, music, glass of wine, being with individuals such as the K-Bar-B ranch kids. [Today I would give special attention to photography. When I wrote this journal entry, I had earlier in the summer started to meet regularly with a local landscape photographer whose mentoring would, over the next several years, significantly expand for me the artistic and spiritual experiences possible through photography.]
