I'm focusing on writing the best story I can write. Which means I'm doing everything I can to give the artist within me as much power as possible.

As Lao Tzu says, "The Tao that can be named is not the true Tao".

Life was not longer something to endure, but to live.

I'm always presenting myself with problems to solve as a writer.

When I stop doing the things that make me unhappy, I will experience the happiness that is that natural state of being. See, I don't think we were created with some pain and misery and whatever. I think we were created by whatever this thing is, when it extended itself, and, here we are. But I pile on so many misconceptions that I end up uncomfortable in my own skin.

People in Germany are very, very responsive to the readings.

I have rituals for cleaning out resentments, disappointments, heartbreak, depression and for work. One of the things I do is go over old stuff if I have been unable to write for a while.
