The panther that has stalked yousince you were a childis old now. No longer wild,and tired of guarding the treasureyou yourself left behind - blind and deaf, she will give it all to youif you just let her go.

Writing and prayer are both a form of love, and love takes courage.

Both writing and praying are acts of deep vulnerability.

A writer is someone who writes!

To grow in craft is to increase the bredth of what I can do, but art is the depth, the passion, the desire, the courage to be myself and myself alone.
