From the time I arrived on the Cape, one of the things I chose explicitly was to put my writing first. Everything else in my life waxed and waned, but writing, I discovered during my restructuring, was my real core. Not any relationship. Not any love. Not any person. I had become more selfish and less accessible. I ceased to be the universal mommy of the tribe. I wanted to see people when I was done with my writing for the day, and not in the middle of my work time. ↗

let no one rule your mind or body. Take special care that your thoughts remain unfettered. One may be a free man and yet be bound tighter than a slave. Give men your ear, but not your heart. Show respect for those in power, but don’t follow them blindly. Judge with logic and reason, but comment not ↗

For as I look back on what I have written, I can see that the very persons who took away my time and space are those who have given me something to say. ↗

TanganNya tidak pernah terlalu pendek untuk menjangkau kita...kupingNya tidak pernah terlalu bising sehingga tidak bisa mendengar seruan kita...& mataNya tidak pernah berada terlalu jauh sehingga tidak bisa memperhatikan kita... Tapi,seringkali hati kita yg terlalu kecil untuk menyadari keberadaanNya...& pikiran kita yg terlalu sempit untuk mengakui kekuasaanNya atas semua masalah kita... *nite all..yesaya 55:8 ↗

I was astonished to learn in one of these best-selling books (on church life) that the size of my church parking lot had far more to do with how things fared in my congregation than my choice of texts in preaching. I was being lied to and I knew it. ↗
