The heaviness and seriousness of my early life became apparent. One of the shamans . . . said he saw a heavy crown on my head, one that was far too heavy to hold. I took life too seriously. The responsibilities in my profession weighed me down. "Anyone would have a difficult time wearing a crown that heavy," he said.
