Dancing almost always turns out to be a good idea.

I do not have deep theological understanding or opinion, but I do not read the Bible as the literal word of God.

Love falls to earth, rises from the ground, pools around the afflicted. Love pulls people back to their feet. Bodies and souls are fed. Bones and lives heal. New blades of grass grow from charred soil. The sun rises.

Write regularly, whether you feel like writing or not, and whether you think what you're writing is any good or not.

I used to think that paired opposites were a given, that love was the opposite of hate, right the opposite of wrong. But now I think we sometimes buy into these concepts because it is so much easier to embrace absolutes than to suffer reality. I don't think anything is the opposite of love. Reality is unforgivingly complex.

When we did art with the kids, the demons would lie down.
