Wherever you are - be all there.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Only the educated are free.
It's always too early to quit.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
You never know what motivates you.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
So much of my poetry begins with something that I can describe in visual terms, so thinking about distance, thinking about how life begins and what might be watching us.
