in life, being stuck . is not the problem, rather . it is a symptom
there are no shortcuts when it comes to opening combination locks
the skill most required in all creativity is in listening
there is no power . that can be taken; unless . it’s given away
soft looking pillows . are deceiving, on mornings . after a snowfall
sometimes, on waking . a dream will linger, making . the night make no sense
when color’s removed . attention is directed . by lines and shadows
what’s outside the door . needs to be worth the effort . it takes to get there
there is a story . in ordinary moments . just stop and listen
when a door is closed . all too often we assume . it is also locked
