I look at my books the way parents look at their children. The fact that one becomes more successful than the others doesn't make me love the less successful one any less. ↗

The experience of getting my Kriya, which is the meditation process that I do, was very powerful for me - though, as I explain in the book, I was really suspect of that kind of thing. ↗

My husband, Nick Chiles and I wrote a number of relationship books together, and what we found was that women were thirsty to hear directly from men. ↗

It is no accident that, of the early Jesuit scholars who were pioneers in making China's culture known in Europe, those who concerned themselves with the Book of Changes were all later declared to be insane or heretic. Indeed, to the Chinese themselves the study of the I Ching is not to be taken lightly. By an unwritten law, only those advanced in years regard themselves as ready to learn from it. Confucius is said to have been seventy years old when he first took up the Book of Changes. ↗

But what I hope for from a book - either one that I write or one that I read - is transparency. I want the story to shine through. I don't want to think of the writer. ↗

My shelf of books! I love them so! They take me where I want to go. Adventure, deeds of every age, Lie captured on the printed page; Through them I hear the swish of seas, The wind in lofty mountain trees; Their magic brings before my gaze Heroes of stirring, ancient days. Here in my chair, through day or night, They lend me wings for daring flight. I love my shelf of books, they are Pathways to sun...and moon... and star. ↗
