I want to keep publishing books, and writing and spreading my heartsong through the world.

I never question God. Sometimes I say, 'Why me? Why do I have such a hard life? Why do I have this disease? Why do I have siblings who died?' But then I think and say, 'Why not me?'

You can't lie down in the ashes of another person's life.

Sunset is still my favorite color, and rainbow is second.

I choose to live until death, not spend the time dying until death occurs.

Do not breathe simply to exist.

I want to be remembered as a poet, a peacemaker, and a philosopher who played.
