"The analogy I've used is a story [from] when I was a kid. I never could see very well and I said something to my parents and it kind of went unnoticed, or no one really responded to it. I guess I didn't make enough noise. When I was 12 I tried on a [friend's] pair of glasses and I was stunned with how clearly I could see. In truth, I used to think trees looked like lollipops because there was a solid stake and this solid ball. I didn't know most people could see leaves. Oh, this is how the world is perceived? That's kind of what having that second relationship made me realize -- that this is where I want to be because I was dead to the world in many other ways. I've been married three times, and I have a slew of children, but I've never felt that kind of connection before in that kind of awakening. It was very profound for me."
