Singing is a way of escaping. It's another world. I'm no longer on earth.

Money? How did I lose it? I never did lose it. I just never knew where it went.

If God has allowed me to earn so much money, it is because He knows I give it all away.

I think you have to pay for love with bitter tears.

As long as you think of your real self as the person you are, then of course you're going to be fearful of death. But what is a person? A person is a pattern of behavior, of a larger awareness. You know, the two-year-old dies before the three-year-old shows up, the three-year-old dies before the teenager shows up.

I guess on one hand I believe it doesn't matter if there is life after death.

I'd be interested in finding out if there is a light you walk into, and if you do meet people from your life and walk hand in hand with Jesus. I would hate for my death to be tragic: I'd like to be old when it happens. But hopefully a young death is unlikely.

I turned 40, got married, got a kid, and my mother passed away. I experienced life and death, with the enjoyment of creating life and the loss, within one year.
