I've become a seeker. I go to the Buddhist center. I was trying to take time in my life to find, you know, just little spaces where I can pray, where I can breathe, where I can connect, you know. I don't always practice these principles to the best of my powers, like I said at the beginning, you know. Yesterday was a disaster, I didn't practice any of this. The disease was on me and I just, you know, I couldn't do it.
