If your life had lyrics, would they be any good?

The best part of my life is gone, and what remains is whizzing past so quickly I feel like I'm Krazy-Glue'ed onto a mechanical bull of a time machine.

My writing process is ritualized and monotonous, but there's no other way to get the job done. All other fiction writers I've met say the same thing.

Good looking people with strong, fluoridated teeth get things handed to them on platters.

We're all born lost, aren't we? We're all born separated from God - over and over life makes sure to inform us of this - and yet we're all real: we have names, we have lives. We mean something. We must.

If you don't have a spiritual practice in place when times are good, you can't expect to suddenly develop one during a moment of crisis.
