There's a spiritual current in my work because there's a spiritual current in my life.

Something good happened to my writing when I stopped being afraid to do something simple, for the fear that people might think I couldn't do something more complex. Don't be confused by the word simple. Simple is not easy, it is clear voiced, and fearlessly elegant.

A dog is grateful for what is, which I am finding to be the soundest kind of wisdom and very good theology.

Every night before I go to sleep I say out loud three things that I am grateful for, all the significant, insignificant, extraordinary, ordinary stuff of my life. It is s small practice and humble, and yet, I find I sleep better holding what lightens and softens my life every so briefly at the end of the day.

There's a spiritual current in my work because there's a spiritual current in my life.

If I could turn down the noise of my own will and choiceI could hear the truth of my life in a clear voice. I will bow down my head to the wisdom of my heart.

Never doubt or question the power of love or one woman with a shovel.
