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

Love is the substance of all life. Everything is connected in love, absolutely everything.

Answered prayers are scary. They imply responsibility. You asked for it. Now that you've got it, what are you going to do? Why else the cautionary phrase Watch out for what you pray for; you might just get it?

In order to create, we draw from our inner well. This inner well, an artistic reservoir, is ideally like a well stocked fish pond...

We must become alert enough to consciously replenish our creative resources as we draw on them - to re-stock the trout pond, so to speak.
