I honor the wisdom of life. I learn from life in all its forms. The tree teaches me. The sparrow and the wren sing my song. I am open to the lessons Life brings me from the earth. I learn from the wind, from the sun, from the small flowers, and from the stars. I walk without arrogance. I learn from all I encounter. I open my mind and heart to the guidance and love that come to me from the natural world.

I am what I am again: a writer. I have metabolized the injury into art.

Soul is not about function; it's about beauty, form, and memory.

Expect the universe to support your dream. It will.

I plant the seeds of love in my heart. I plant the seeds of love in the hearts of others.

Treating myself like a precious object will make me strong.

Nothing dies harder than a bad idea. And few ideas are worse than the ones we have about art.
