If logic was anything, all men would ride sidesaddles.

...stories that rise from deep suffering can provide the most potent remedies for past, present, and even future ills.

I hope you will go out and let stories happen to you, and that you will work them, water them with your blood and tears and you laughter till they bloom, till you yourself burst into bloom.

A woman who is starved for her real soul-life may look 'cleaned up and combed' on the outside, but on the inside she is filled with dozens of pleading hands and empty mouths.

Three things differentiate living from the soul verses living from the ego only: the ability to sense and learn new ways, the tenacity to ride a rough road, and the patience to learn deep love over time.

Stories are medicine. They have such power; they do not require that we do, be, act anything - we need only listen.

Story is far older than the art of science and psychology, and will always be the elder in the equation no matter how much time passes.
