I saw in a blue haze all the world poured flat and pale between the mountains

How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.

No one escapes the wilderness on the way to the promised land.

At a certain point, you say to the woods, to the sea, to the mountains, the world, Now I am ready. Now I will stop and be wholly attentive. You empty yourself and wait, listening.

A schedule defends from chaos and whim. It is a net for catching days. It is a scaffolding on which a worker can stand and labor with both hands at sections of time.

As a life's work, I would remember everything - everything, against loss. I would go through life like a plankton net.

Experiencing the present purely is being empty and hollow; you catch grace as a man fills his cup under a waterfall.

According to Inuit culture in Greenland, a person possesses six or seven souls. The souls take the form of tiny people scattered throughout the body.

The answer must be, I think, that beauty and grace are performed whether or not we will or sense them. The least we can do is try to be there.

I had been my whole life a bell, and never knew it until at that moment I was lifted and struck.

The dedicated life is worth living. You must give with your whole heart.

But how will I know it's my destiny?' 'Like love it will possess you... You can't help but know.

The ultimate way to change something is to change what is behind that something. Change what is behind something and something will change!

As an American, I'd like to apologize-for everything.

Life is not about finding who you really are

Art often reflects what's going on in the world, and we're seeing stories that are very diverse and that are lead and made by women because that's what's in our world.

All I can say is that my ambition far exceeded my talent.

When the Lord opens a door, walk through it. If He doesn’t, just trust.

It's never too late to reach for happiness and no matter what life has done to you, it's never too late to find it.

Take the kinks out your mind, not your hair.

Behind each triumph are new peaks to be conquered.
