People don't want to feel stuck, they want to be able to change.

In a lethal world, poetry is necessary for survival.

To have character is to be big enough to take life on.

Love is not a doctrine, Peace is not an international agreement. Love and peace are beings who live as possibilities in us.

All the arts we practice are apprenticeship. The big art is our life.

And with listening, too, it seems to me, it is not the ear that hears, it is not the physical organ that performs the act of inner receptivity. It is the total person who hears. Sometimes the skin seems to be the best listener, as it prickles and thrills, say to a sound or a silence; or the fantasy, the imagination: how it bursts into inner pictures as it listens and then responds by pressing its language, its forms, into the listening clay. To be open to what we hear, to be open in what we say. .

People don't want to feel stuck, they want to be able to change.
