“...God and your heart both whisper - incline your ear - don't just learn from your head...”

“...the heart's not an organ but a whisper in your head ...”

“...open the access to your heart and write down what your voice is whispering...”

“...when your heart is broken, don't go silent - speak to God in his own language...”

“...it's merely writing, but you have to adjust your ear – I speak quietly – I sob – I whisper...”

“...you listen first with the ears - then, you wait and listen for what your heart feels - then you consider what they've said - then, you reply ...”

“...I don't want security - to be self-assured - I want to risk my heart in making your portrait and be paid the wages of your devotion...”
