It is on these (20min) walks that my best ideas come to me. It is while walking that difficult clarity emerges. It is while walking that I experience a sense of well-being and connection, and it is in walking that I live most prayerfully.

Become willing to see the hand of God and accept it as a friend's offer to help you with what you are doing.

By being willing to be a bad artist, you have a chance to be an artist, and perhaps, over time, a very good one.

Our internal artist is always our creative child.

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?

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

Writing just for the hell of it is heaven.
