When you have no idea what you are doing, do it confidently!
Be in the darkness, but never let the darkness be in you
I want to tell a story that matters
The dilemma of being in one’s late 40s:
Is the world really getting worse or am I just falling into elderly sentimentality?
Successful art is art that is a joy to create
…others connecting with that joy or even the the art becoming famous and celebrated is always secondary
Live a life infused with love
“Woman is the creator of the universe,
the universe is her form;
woman is the foundation of the world,
she is the true form of the body.
In woman is the form of all things,
of all that lives and moves in the world.”
-from Shaktisangama Tantra
The world is constantly trying to sell you rage, resentment, and anxiety…
Invest in love and forgiveness instead.
The world is constantly trying to sell you rage, resentment, and anxiety…

None of us have loved deeply enough
Learn resilience. Practice discipline.
The path of least resistance will punish you far worse than you ever expect.
We live in a commonplace world and yet our stories, both ancient and recent, are rife with magic and miracles…
The external world may be mundane, but we are innately magical beings.
The miracle of our consciousness upends the universe.
I am beginning to think happiness is a state of mind, and I'm not going to let any circumstance steal joy away from me
The splendor of simply being alive is enough
I’m really trying here, but it’s a lonely road
You broke my heart a thousand different ways, but it always grew back stronger
”No being is incurable to the One who created it.”
-Origen of Alexandria
“Suffer the little children to come to me”
…because we are all frail children in the face of the immense Love that gave birth to the world.
