"It was many years ago that I got out of a crewtruck in the national forest and ran toward a largeÂ glowing object hovering in the darkening ArizonaÂ sky.

I was leaving behind foreverÂ all semblance of a normal life, running headlongÂ toward an experience so overwhelmingly mind-rending in its effects, so devastating in itsaftermath, that my life would neverâ€”could neverÂ Â â€” be the same again."
