If you start getting frightened of it, then you make it worse. Because you project onto it all kinds of bogeys and threats which don't exist in it at all.

There isn't a single day I don't do some writing -- if you don't, you won't have a book.

I find if I write every day, my subconscious will do the job for me.

Breathing is important in the practice of meditation because it is the faculty in us that is simultaneously voluntary and involuntary.

As responsible moral beings, we dare not so trifle with our eternal future. Aiden Wilson Tozer
