We are meant to midwife dreams for one another. Success occurs in clusters

Life is what we make of it. Whether we conceive of an inner god force or an other, outer God, doesn't matter. Relying on that force does.

It is my experience both as an artist and as a teacher that when we move out on faith into the act of creation, the universe is able to advance. It is a little like opening the gate at the top of a field irrigation system. Once we remove the blocks, the flow moves in.

I think of making love and making art as being very parallel. Even the most amateur attempt can be thrilling.

Writing is a combination of being alert to your outer surroundings and alive to your inner reality.

Being in the mood to write, like being in the mood to make love, is a luxury that isn't necessary in a long-term relationship. Just as the first caress can lead to a change of heart, the first sentence, however tentative and awkward, can lead to a desire to go just a little further.

I am a gate for God to accomplish great things. Through me and with me, new Life enters the world.
