Just an interesting tidbit I came across. Hope the HTML code for italicized text works through Email.

How did you find your spiritual path?

I have never felt myself to be on a path of any kind, as my life has more the quality of being carried downstream on a raging river full of rocks, so that all I have to do is try to steer a course through the endless rapids and enjoy the thrill of the experience. It may be helpful to add, however, that the parent who brought me up, my mother, was a Pagan, and I have never been attracted by any other sort of tradition although I have studied many in the course of my work as a historian. Paganism is therefore my background, but I am not strongly religious by temperament.
