We live in story like a fish lives in water. We swim through words and images siphoning story through our minds the way a fish siphons water through its gills. We cannot think without language, we cannot process experience without story.

Writing makes a map, and there is something about a journey that begs to have its passage marked.

Spiritual life is contractual. The sacred cannot dialogue with the unresponsive.

Intuition always has our best interest at heart.

Ritual is the way you carry the presence of the sacred. Ritual is the spark that must not go out.

Perhaps we wouldn't eat so much, or smoke, or drink so much if we were paying attention to ourselves. Perhaps we wouldn't talk so much if we were paying attention to each other. All these oral activities are trying to meet a need, and perhaps the greatest need is to be seen and heard.

Writing bridges the inner and outer worlds and connects the paths of action and reflection.
