I got to college in ’99, and I went to study literature and writing, and so within a couple years we had Bush elected, 9/11, we were at war, so I was sort of having my political and spiritual awakening at the same time I was becoming an adult, and that’s a lot of stuff at once. I became very focused on the state of the world, and I started studying that stuff more, and I just had a real identity crisis. I couldn’t even really just study literature.

You would think so, and I do like stuff like that, and I like learning about it… but it freaks me out at the same time.

I love to dream, but I never try to dream and think at the same time.

Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time

You have to learn how to help a wounded child while still practicing mindful breathing. You should not allow yourself to get lost in action. Action should be meditation at the same time.
