Life loves the person who dares to live it.

Have enough courage to trust love one more time and always one more time.

I think all poems are commissioned. They just come to me without somebody outside commissioning them. The idea comes and I will live with them 'til I get it as close to what I mean. I've never been totally satisfied. I've come close a few times.

I believe that the most important single thing, beyond discipline and creativity is daring to dare.

At our best, we're all teachers
