"For twenty-seven years I have been the Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of California. I know how to be that. What I don't know is how not to be that. Retirement awaits. And I look forward to using Dr. Sheppard Kominars' book Write for Life: Healing Body, Mind, and Spirit Through Journaling as a guide for my new life. Not only to transition but to make sense of the change. I intend to write for my life."
