Interestingly, Joan was very much like a living example of the wisdom he extolled, her personality was quite unique in many ways. She did say that she and her sister were adopted when very young so he was the only father they knew. She never mentioned her mother in any of our conversations, I never really dug into her personal story, only discussed what she had to offer which were things like politics, art and when the next flood was coming.

I can relate to the intensity of being drawn to someone who opened a door or two in your mind, it can be addictive in that you want to keep discovering on that path. The older one gets, the more experience one has to draw upon for rationalizing things.
