Villainy wears many masks; none so dangerous as the mask of virtue.
A shadow is never created in darkness. It is born of light. We can be blind to it and blinded by it. Our shadow asks us to look at what we don’t want to see
To be whole. To be complete. Wildness reminds us what it means to be human, what we are connected to rather than what we are separate from.
There is an art to writing, and it is not always disclosure. The act itself can be beautiful, revelatory, and private.
Not everything is meant for all to hear.

There is something very sensual about a letter. The physical contact of pen to paper, the time set aside to focus thoughts, the folding of the paper into the envelope, licking it closed, addressing it, a chosen stamp, and then the release of the letter to the mailbox - are all acts of tenderness.
When it comes to the challenges of the actual process, I soldier on as best I can, on my own.
Entrepreneur is just French for 'has ideas, does them'.
I don't have to go around trying to save everybody anymore; that's not my job.
I lack nothing. I only needed myself.
