You're here, you're breathing, you are the recipient of an extraordinary act of generosity called life.

I like to say that I practice militant mysticism. I'm really absolutely sure of some things that I don't quite know.

The joy is in the creation. So I've never had a target audience, it's always been about being true to the work as it emerges.

If there's any place where you would express your deepest doubts, it would be church.

It's absurd and quite tragic the way people have managed to pit science against faith. They aren't in conflict at all - they're long lost dance partners. I don't divide the world up into Christians and other people - we are all human beings, brothers and sisters, and we embrace truth wherever we find it, whether that's in a lab, a field or a cathedral. Because sometimes you need a scientist and sometimes you need a poet.

When the female voice is repressed and stifled, the entire community can easily find themselves cut off from the sacred feminine, depriving themselves of the full image of god.

Questions are not scary. What is scary is when people don’t have any. What is tragic is faith that has no room for them.
