Hi Blip,
I'm glad you've carried something with you. Perhaps in a similar way I explored Buddhism for a while and, while I no longer do so, I still do still carry some lessons from that time (mostly to avoid the frustration of trying to get the world to fit perfectly to me - perhaps in similar way to the 'serenity prayer'). It could be I too move on from the Friends, though it's a very comfortable fit at this point in life.
