Without this essential stage of unconscious processing, the entire flow of the creative process is broken.”

“In that process of coming to know that which we name as divine, the God who is love is slowly transformed into the love that is God. Let me repeat that...We breathe love in, and we breathe love out. It is omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent. It is never exhausted, always expanding. When I try to describe this reality, words fail me; so I simply utter the name God. That name, however, is no longer for me the name of a being.”

How often do we get the excuse to stop, think, and then stop thinking altogether and try to listen to what sits behind our outside of our thoughts? Poets are lucky.”

“Adaptation is always the same process for me, which is some version of throwing the book at the wall and seeing what pages fall out.

Once the fish is out of sight, it should also be out of mind.”
