told me when we e–mailed each other recently. "I was an average kind of person. But my family believed deeply that human life could mirror the excellence intrinsic to spiritual reality. So at every turn, whether it was academically, athletically, or socially, I felt energized by a more unrestricted expectancy—the expectancy to live the infinite nature of the divine. When it came time to take up a life practice, the public healing practice of Christian Science was a natural choice.

He shares some of his insights in our following conversation.
