Sex is the instrument and love the music.

People are afraid of falling in love because they don't want to suffer.
Isabel Allende
Image
Just as when we come into the world, when we die we are afraid of the unknown. But the fear is something from within us that has nothing to do with reality. Dying is like being born: just a change.

My foundation supports the National Writing Project so that teachers can be more effective in their efforts to improve literacy for all students.

Fear is like a black cavern that is terrifying. Once you enter the cavern and explore it, you realize that you can get out of it, go through it and get out of it. Then there's another cavern that is just as big and terrifying, and you just go in and dwell in it and see what is the worst that can happen.
