“If there is one thing I’ve learned in thirty years as a psychotherapist, it is this: If you can let your experience happen, it will release its knots and unfold, leading to a deeper, more grounded experience of yourself.

—John Welwood (from Whiskey River)
“We have stories

breaking through the chest
flying out the mouth
noisy tongues that once were
silenced,
all the oceans we contain
coming to light.” —Chickasaw Indian saying (from The Book Inscriptions Project)
