This essay comes from the NPR series This I Believe, which features brief personal reflections from both famous and unknown Americans. The pieces that make up the series compel listeners to rethink not only what and how they have arrived at their beliefs, but also the extent to which they share them with others.©2006 This I Believe Inc.; (P)2006 This I Believe Inc., Audio Renaissance, a division of Holtzbrinck Publishers LLC
