Talk when you talk, walk when you walk, and die when you die.

Life is not orderly. No matter how we try to make life so, right in the middle of it we die, lose a leg, fall in love, drop a jar of applesauce.

Trust in what you love, continue to do it, and it will take you where you need to go.

When you are present, the world is truly alive.

The correctness and quality of what you write do not matter; the act of writing does.

I consider writing practice a true Zen practice because it all comes back at you. You can't fool anyone because it's on the page.
