Making art is an act of faith.

At it's essence, art is an alchemical process. Alchemy is a process of transformation.

Writing is like breathing, it's possible to learn to do it well, but the point is to do it no matter what.

All change can be expansive in potential. The choice is ours.

Here's what I like about God: Trees are crooked, mountains are lumpy, a lot of his creatures are funny looking, and he made it all anyway. He didn't let the aardvark convince him he had no business designing creatures. He didn't make a puffer fish and get discouraged, no, the maker made things - and still does.
