We all fall into biological and mental habits. It's an easy way for us to navigate day-to-day work and life, but it also doesn't do us any favours in terms of growing into wisdom, growing into a greater understanding of each other, growing into a deeper relationship - all the things that we really crave.

Curiosity is a great weapon for the artist.

To be an 'artist' is as much a calling from and to a divine service as becoming a physician, nurse, priest, shaman, or healer.

Even if the world outside is destroying itself and fragmented and paranoid and fearful, the job of the artist is to embrace and hold people and say, 'It's OK, be safe here.'

True happiness comes from the joy of deeds well done, the zest of creating things new.

As a singer, the biggest joy I have are the arrangements.

My prayer for you, Donald Trump, would be for you to have an opportunity to experience the delight and the joy of what oneness truly is. And if you can have that in your life, if you could feel that feeling in your life, then my prayer would be that your division and your separation, your attack, would dissolve with that boundary.

Lovers who love truly do not write down their happiness.
