writing passion hands
Portland in particular is a cheap enough place to live that you can still develop your passion - painting, writing, music. People seem less status-conscious. Even wealthy people buy second-hand clothes and look a little bit homeless.
stories moments who-you-are
Who you are moment to moment is just a story.
dream lonely book
If you haven't already noticed, all my books are about a lonely person looking for some way to connect with other people.In a way, that is the opposite of the American Dream: to get so rich you can rise above the rabble, all those people on the freeway or, worse, the bus.
nice secret persons
Still, it's nice to have one person who knows all your secrets.
want lasts generations
Every generation wants to be the last.
clouds sides looks
On the other side of the handrail, the hallway's gray marble floor looks as if we've climbed a stairway through the clouds.
christmas flower light
That quest for something pretty. A cheat. A cliche. Flowers and Christmas lights, it's what we're programmed to love.
chaos true-peace
Without true chaos, we can never have true peace.
children loving-life people
Nevertheless, if you ask me, most people have children just as their own enthusiasm about life begins to wane. A child allows us to revisit the excitement we once felt about, well... everything. A generation later, our grandkids bump up our enthusiasm yet again. Reproducing is a kind of booster shot to keep us loving life.
love sweat climbing
Where I'm is one of those stair climbing machines the agent has installed. You climb and climb forever and never get off the ground. You're trapped in your hotel room. It's the mystical sweat love lodge experience of our time, the only sort of Indian vision quest we can schedule into our daily planner.Our Stair Master to Heaven.
past chaos sometimes
Sometimes the past seems too big for the present to hold.
sex cures
Sex pretty much cures everything.
falling-in-love romantic-love loving-someone
Some of us are lucky enough to fall in love once or twice but the luckiest of us are those who find that someone they simply can't live without and have the pleasure of falling in love with them day in and day out for the rest of their lives. Relationships aren't about simply falling in love once and being done with it, they're about loving someone until the end of your days and growing that love endlessly.
motivational voice hell
The voice says, maybe you don't go to hell for the things you do. Maybe you go to hell for the things you don't do. The things you don't finish.
