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.

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

The Artist's Way is a spiritual journey, a pilrimage home to the self.
