Reverence for Life became his life's motto, and it brought him pain as well as joy as he sought to respect how precious and unique each life is. And, he wished to honor something greater than he was-reverence for life. He wanted to clarify his reasons and methods for his undertakings and to respond to some of his critics. He had been fortunate to be in the right places at the right times, to meet people of thought and sympathy. He had become a legend and he wanted to remind readers that he was just a man, and a man who had learned from many others.
