You are not a black hole that needs to be filled; you are a light that needs to be shined.

When you invest your time and energy in stuff that drags you down, you die a little bit every day.

One moment of true forgiveness can erase years of guilt, pain, or fear.

If you have to have it, it's ego. If you have to not have it, it's ego. Hold life lightly and it will deliver what you need and release what you don't.

Kindness to self will put you in the perfect attitude and position to be kind to others.

The more you live by external shoulds, the farther you drift from the power inherent in your own spirit.

I love the balls-to-the-walls rule-breaking approach the Beatles had in the studio (which I emulate), although I don't try to make my songs "sound" like their songs. But every time I crank a knob of some piece of equipment, or plug an instrument into the "wrong" amp/effect, I am channeling the Beatles.
