We cannot think without language, we cannot process experience without story.

Journal writing is a voyage to the interior.

My real journey had very little to do with traveling Europe, and a whole lot to do with traveling my own mind.

We are living in a renaissance of personal writing. People are rebalancing the impersonalization endemic to modern society with an increase in personal introspection. We have enough common psychology under our belts to know that psychology doesn't explain or heal everything and that it isn't the fulfillment of awareness, but its beginning. We are undergoing a shift in paradigms in which we are trying to develop new models for humanness and human responsibility. This is no small task. Our individual lives are placed under increasing pressure to respond adequately to both inner and outer change.

The purpose of life is not to maintain personal comfort; it's to grow the soul.

My journal is my life's companion.

To work in the world lovingly means that we are defining what we will be for, rather than reacting to what we are against.
