William P. Young
Love is not the limitation love is the flying.
William P. Young
Paradigms power perceptions, perceptions power emotions.
William P. Young
And the Law that once contained impossible demands -- Thou Shalt Not... -- actually becomes a promise we fulfill in you.

I often find that getting head issues out of the way first makes the heart stuff easier to work on later.

I think good creative writing opens up space for people to come into. Let God reach out and touch the human soul. That's not my job. I get to be present and create as much space as I can ... That frees me up just to be creative in the way I want to be.

Sometimes honesty can be incredibly messy
William P. Young
So no, I’m not too big on religion...and not very fond of politics or economics either...And why should I be? They are the man-created trinity of terrors that ravages the earth and deceives those I care about. What mental turmoil and anxiety does any human face that is not related to one of those three?
William P. Young
If a rainbow makes a sound, or a flower as it grows, that was the sound of her laughter.
William P. Young
I give you an ability to respond and your response is to be free to love and serve in every situation, and therefore each moment is different and unique and wonderful.
William P. Young
Love is much stronger than your fault could ever be.
William P. Young
Living unloved is like clipping a bird's wings and removing its ability to fly.
William P. Young
You don't play a game or color a picture with a child to show your superiority. Rather, you choose to limit yourself so as to facilitate and honor that relationship.
William P. Young
God's voice had been reduced to paper, and even that paper had to be moderated and deciphered by the proper authorities and intellect.
William P. Young
Jesus was always challenging the dogma of religion. So, you know, it's not like I'm out there by myself.
William P. Young
Emotions talked to you before you had words, so listen to them ... they are often more honest than the mind's remarkable ability to self deceive.
William P. Young
Emotions are the colors of the soul.
William P. Young
Forgiveness is not about forgetting. It is about letting go of another person's throat.
