In November 1990, my best friend died. A few weeks later, I had a life-changing experience. I won't share the details, but for nine years, between, January 1991 and January 2000, I was crippled by it. During the first year, at the most crippled point, there was one point when I felt I heard, the voice of a higher power, telling me, "What do you have to give?". It was the only point of clarity in the nine months. Things improved a little, but not totally and for years I felt the scar. The crippling period only ended on New years eve, December 31,1999 when in some small way I resolved to let go of my pain.

But in the end, I was just a stranger.
I was a million miles away. Destined to remain...
