I consider writing a legitimate Zen practice.

The correctness and quality of what you write do not matter; the act of writing does.

Learning to write is not a linear process. There is no logical A-to-B-to-C way to become a good writer. One neat truth about writing cannot answer it all. There are many truths. To do writing practice means to deal ultimately with your whole life.

If you read good books, when you write, good books will come out of you.

Women need space and silence. We too quickly give away our energy. There's something about holding that richness.

Anything we fully do is an alone journey.

We are searching for the core of our lives; our culture intuits that writing, that ancient activity, might be the pathway...Awakening does not feed ego's needs and desires; it pulverizes the self. Our society couldn't knowingly bear such reduction, so we've tricked ourselves into the same path but call it writing.
