I want to follow where Spirit leads. Not making things happen, letting them happen. Showing/glowing/radiating the hand of Spirit. Showing how Spirit has one’s back. Showing how Spirit has our backs, our fronts, our tops and our bottoms.

Writing is an adventure. To begin with, it is a toy and an amusement. Then it becomes a mistress, then it becomes a master, then it becomes a tyrant. The last phase is that just as you are about to be reconciled to your servitude, you kill the monster and fling him to the public …Winston Churchill

God/the Universe needs me to empty myself out so completely that I become fully available for something far beyond myself to begin to animate my life, illuminate my mind, light up my heart and drive me forward into a radical way of being that will be an example for everybody else, of humanity’s potential. It’s the Radical Call of the Spirit. …Craig Hamilton

You have to find something that you love enough to be able to take risks, jump over the hurdles and break through the brick walls that are always going to be placed in front of you. If you don't have that kind of feeling for what it is you are doing, you'll stop at the first giant hurdle. …George Lucas
More than anything else, try to remember each morning -- before the winds of this world pick you up and carry you off -- that you want to be more awake to yourself than you were the day before; that you want to have more choices today -- in who you are and what you embrace -- than you did yesterday. …Guy Finley
Confusion is where we may hide out and avoid being the bold expression we are meant to be.

People always say "Motivation is great but it doesn't last." I just tell them, bathing does not last either, that is why I recommend it daily. …Zig Ziglar
There is a yearning that is as spiritual as it is sensual. Even when it degenerates into addiction, there is something salvageable from the original impulse that can only be described as sacred. Something in the person (dare we call it a soul?) wants to be free, and it seeks its freedom any way it can. There is a drive for transcendence that is implicit in even the most sensual of desires. …. Mark Epstein
It is never too late to become what you might have been. …George Eliot
