Poetry Is A Dumb Buddha Who Thinks

This Is The Practice School Of Writing. Like Running, The More You Do It, The Better You Get At It.

If You Are Not Afraid Of The Voices Inside You, You Will Not Fear The Critics Outside You.

Choose Your Tools Carefully, But Not So Carefully That You Get Uptight Or Spend More Time At The Stationery Store Than At Your Writing Table.

Take Out Another Notebook, Pick Up Another Pen, And Just Write, Just Write, Just Write. In The Middle Of The World, Make One Positive Step. In The Center Of Chaos, Make One Definitive Act. Just Write. Say Yes, Stay Alive, Be Awake. Just Write. Just Write. Just Write.

Be Tough In The Way A Blade Of Grass Is: Rooted, Willing To Lean, And At Peace With What Is Around It.
