All of us are far richer than we imagine. None of us possesses a life devoid of magic.

When we put the pen to paper, we articulate things in our life that we may have felt vague about. Before you write about something, somebody says, 'How do you feel?' and you say, 'Oh, I feel okay.' Then you write about it, and you discover you don't feel okay.

Anger is meant to be acted upon. It is not meant to be acted out.

Just as a good rain clears the air, a good writing day clears the psyche.

We are the ORIGIN of our art, its homeland. Viewed this way, ORIGINALITY is the process of remaining true to ourselves.

When I listen to love, I am listening to my true nature. When I express love, I am expressing my true nature. All of us love. All of us do it more and more perfectly. The past has brought us both ashes and diamonds. In the present we find the flowers of what we've planted and the seeds of what we are becoming. I plant the seeds of love in my heart. I plant the seeds of love in the hearts of others.

When we clear the physical clutter from our lives, we literally make way for inspiration and 'good, orderly direction' to enter.
