See, even if you're stuck in life, if you can describe just exactly the way you're stuck, then you will immediately recognise that you can't go on that way anymore. So, just saying precisely, writing precisely how you're stuck, or how you're alienated, opens up a door of freedom for you.

Alertness is the hidden discipline of familiarity.

Poetry is a break for freedom.

We are the only species on earth capable of preventing our own flowering.

To forge an untouchable, invulnerable identity is actually a sign of retreat from this world; of weakness, a sign of fear rather than strength, and betrays a strange misunderstandin g of an abiding, foundational and necessary reality: that untouched, we disappear.

I want to know if you are willing to live, day by day, with the consequence of love.

Everyone casts a shadow. Everyone has a relationship with the fearful unknown.
