It was October of 2010 when I converted to Buddhism.

It was October 31, 2014 when I stopped chanting.

I am often told that to get through this time I should rely on my faith.  I have none at the moment.

I haven’t looked to the heavens for anything since that date.

Yesterday was the first time I thought about chanting. I immediately dismissed that idea.  It wasn’t until writing a few moments ago I realized why.
