“We write because the blank piece of paper and the pen are there. We write because this is our addiction and we are proud of it. Our habit, our drug, our crutch. Whatever you wish to call it. We write because since an early age we felt it deep in our souls and in our bones. The poem must be written, the story must be told and the new myths and Gods are waiting for you to bring them forth from out of the darkness and to bring them into the light of being. You are a creator, so create. You are the writer. So write.”

“The conquest of the soul is not marked by the clash of swords, but by the tender touch of kindness and the liberating embrace of forgiveness. In the heart’s silent battlefield, victories unfold as blossoms of love, scattering the seeds of transformation.”

“WRITE. Manifest power in words. Write poetry. Name your own humanity. Ponder creation thru inner meaning. Find hidden voices in the universal consciousness of soul. Find yourself, and then return again. Poetry is the sacred religion Of both time & space older than Civilization itself. Poetry is dead. Poetry is living. Poetry is everything. Poetry is a language Unto itself that is understood. Poetry will never die It will still appear in places Long after you are dust So write. That’s all. That’s it. Write.”
