Mystery is at the heart of creativity. As creative channels, we need to trust the darkness.

Our moods and insights are transitory. This current is a flow of grace moving us to our right livelihood, companions, destiny.

Writing-and this is the big secret-wants to be written. Writing loves a writer the way God loves a true devotee. Writing will fill your heart if you let it. It will fill your pages and help to fill your life.

In times of pain, when the future is too terrifying to contemplate and the past too painful to remember, I have learned to pay attention to right now. The precise moment I was in was always the only safe place for me.

In a sense, as we are creative beings, our lives become our work of art.

Workaholism is a block, not a building block.

Spirituality can release blocks, lead you to ideas, and make your life artful. Sometimes when we pray for guidance, we're guided in unexpected directions. We may want a lofty answer and we get the intuition to clean our bedroom. It can seem so humble and picky and that you don't necessarily think of it spiritual guidance.
