I never found much comfort in overly organized religion of any sort.

Forgiveness is the needle that knows how to mend.

I personally feel the most vulnerable when I write. That's where I learned to tell the truth when I was young.

The best antidote for loneliness, hopelessness, and fear is vulnerability: sharing your secrets and talking about what shames you, what you fear.

Being part of the natural world reminds me that innocence isn't ever lost completely; we just need to maintain our goodness to regain it.
