“I am but a conduit. During the best moments of writing, I’m not aware of writing. There is only writing.”

“Two bodies across species, making each other feel safe without a single word.”

"There is nothing that makes me feel more alive than to experience the same sense of wonder I had as a young boy."

“What I understand now, at seventy-two, is that the absence of fit was never the problem. It was the answer.”

“It is a question of trust, learning that things turn out well even when I hold the reins a little less tightly.”

“I often wonder why I feel this need to become one with people I happen to run into.“

“I’ve carried a free-floating sense of guilt about not doing enough with most of my life. It attaches itself to anything that happens to come by.”

“I say I want equanimity, and yet I keep courting the very things that pull me away from it.”

"And now, as I approach seventy-two, I find myself willing to learn from a twisted old tree-and to allow myself, at least sometimes, to simply be."

“The need for control has introduced a rigidity into my life that interferes with experiencing things as they are.”
