There is nothing perfect...only life Picture Quote #1

Make the world better. Take the meanness out of people's hearts Picture Quote #1

When you can't go forward, and you can't go backward, and you can't stay where you are without killing off something deep and vital in yourself, you are on the edge of creation Picture Quote #1

Nobody around here had ever seen a lady beekeeper till her. She liked to tell everybody that women made the best beekeepers, ‘cause they have a special ability built into them to love creatures that sting. It comes from years of loving children and husbands Picture Quote #1

I missed Rosaleen’s snoring the way you’d miss the sound of the ocean waves after you’ve gotten used to sleeping with them. I didn’t realize how it had comforted me. Quiteness has a strange, spongy hum that can nearly break your eardrums Picture Quote #1

T. Ray said ‘Who do you think you are? Julias Shakespeare?’ The man sincerely thought that was Shakespeare’s first name, and if you think I should have corrected him, you are ignorant about the art of survival Picture Quote #1

There’s a gap somehow between empathy and activism. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. spoke of ‘soul force’ - something that emanates from a deep truth inside of us and empowers us to act. Once you identify your inner genius, you will be able to take action, whether it’s writing a check or digging a well Picture Quote #1

The only way I have ever understood, broken free, emerged, healed, forgiven, flourished, and grown powerful is by asking the hardest questions and then living into the answers through opening up to my own terror and transmuting it into creativity. I have gotten nowhere by retreating into hand-me-down sureties or resisting the tensions that truth ignited Picture Quote #1

I came to believe that my true identity goes beyond the outer roles I play. It transcends the ego. I came to understand that there is an Authentic ‘I’ within - an ‘I Am,’ or divine spark within the soul Picture Quote #1

I never know how to give advice to a writer because there’s so much you could say, and it’s hard to translate your own experience. But of course, I always try. The main thing that I usually end up saying is to read a lot. To read a great deal and to learn from that Picture Quote #1

When it comes to religion today, we tend to be long on butterflies and short on cocoons. Somehow we’re going to have to relearn that the deep things of God don’t come suddenly Picture Quote #1

To be fully human, fully myself, To accept all that I am, all that you envision, This is my prayer. Walk with me out to the rim of life, Beyond security. Take me to the exquisite edge of courage And release me to become Picture Quote #1

I grew up in the American South and came of age in the 1960s, an incredibly turbulent time. It was as if the seams of American life were being ripped apart with riots and protests Picture Quote #1

... in the end, Goddess is just a word. It simply means the divine in female form Picture Quote #1

Sometimes I was so busy being tuned in to outside ideas, expectations, and demands, I failed to hear the unique music in my soul. I forfeited my ability to listen creatively to my deepest self, to my own God within Picture Quote #1

All that paddling around in the alphabet soup of one’s childhood, scooping up letters, hoping to arrange them into enlightening sentences that would explain why things had turned out the way they had. It evoked a certain mutiny in me Picture Quote #1

In the early 1800s, religion was often used as a way to keep slavery in place. Slaves were forced to attend the church of their owners, listen to selective dogma that kept them obedient and subservient Picture Quote #1

I realize that I can be with someone, but on a deeper level I’m not available to them at all. I have attention deficit disorder of the soul Picture Quote #1

There are so many different things out there trying to hook our attention, we writers have to be very selective and make certain that it is coming from inside out, not outside in Picture Quote #1

I think the word ‘freedom’ is beautiful, not so much in its phonics, but just in the power of the word itself Picture Quote #1

Something deep in all of us yearns for God’s beauty, and we can find it no matter where we are Picture Quote #1

I read usually in the morning, in my kitchen at breakfast - a short reading time, usually poetry. I read in bed every night. I usually get in bed pretty early with a book, and I read until I can’t prop my eyes open anymore - sometimes rather late Picture Quote #1
