00:10I just did a story of my day as fast as I could speak it.
00:14Joyce, who was running it, asked me who wrote it.
00:19I sat down at this table in front of whoever came.

01:40Forrest came to me very early on with questions about death. He wasn't even four.
01:44Everyone knows they're going to die, but no one really believes it.
01:48I like telling the story of life better than I do living it.
01:54One of the ways to reincarnate is to tell you a story, and I get enormous pleasure from that.
01:59It's like coming back.
