Writing practice brings us back to the uniqueness of our own minds and an acceptance of it. We all have wild dreams, fantasies, and ordinary thoughts. Let us to feel the texture of them and not be afraid of them.Writing is still the wildest thing I know.

We are each a concert reverberating with our whole lives and reflecting and amplifying the world around us.

One poem or story doesn't matter one way or the other. It's the process of writing and life that matters.

Poems are taught as though the poet has put a secret key in his words and it is the reader's job to find it. Poems are not mystery novels.

Creativity exists in the present moment. You can't find it anywhere else.

In the end, you have to just sit down, shut up, and write.

We must remember that everything is ordinary and extraordinary. It is our minds that either open or close.
