I remember a friend many years ago who had taped a sign to his refrigerator: There's a dream dreaming us. If you try to think about what that means it makes your mind silly, but that silliness is good.

Stress is basically a disconnection from the earth, a forgetting of the breath.

Take out another notebook, pick up another pen, and just write, just write, just write. In the middle of the world, make one positive step. In the center of chaos, make one definitive act. Just write. Say yes, stay alive, be awake. Just write. Just write. Just write.

At the moment our rational mind stops, hits against a wall ... something else happens. And a bigger mind, like a pearl, rolls in a silver bowl.

Trust in what you love, continue to do it, and it will take you where you need to go.

The difference between neurosis and wisdom is struggle.

Be awake to the details around you, but don't be self-conscious.
