No, the thing is, we all love storytelling, and as a writer you get to tell stories all the time Picture Quote #1

Honorary degrees and lifetime achievement awards are very encouraging. I know that it might sound strange that a writer who has published many books still needs encouragement, but this is true Picture Quote #1

This strange business of what it is to be a writer is this increasingly insane world in which we live, in which surrealism, it seems, is the new realism Picture Quote #1

I’ve spent quite a bit of my life as a meditation teacher and writer commending the strengths of love and compassion Picture Quote #1

For a writer it’s a dream to sit and watch people as close as possible Picture Quote #1

Sometimes I felt as a writer I was purging, and it almost hurt to purge to that level. Now it doesn’t feel that way, maybe because I’m older. Maybe life has given me some punches, but it didn’t knock me down Picture Quote #1
