For me, writing is a way of thinking. I write in a journal a lot. I'm a very impatient person, so writing and meditation allow me to slow down and watch my mind; they are containers that keep me in place, hold me still.

I write, or used to write, to explain to myself situations I couldn't otherwise solve or understand. Meditation comes very naturally to me.

Writing is a very focused form of meditation. Just as good as sitting in a lotus position.

Writing can be an incredible mindfulness practice.

I've always been a journal-keeper. I've always tried to write about how I'm experiencing life, and my feelings and thoughts.

I write in my study, where I also have my prayer altar. I believe that keeps me focused and gives me positive energy and reminds me that I'm merely the instrument of greater creative forces.

The purpose of meditation is personal transformation.

Meditation is to get insight, to get understanding and compassion, and when you have them, you are compelled to act.

Meditation is the life of the soul: Action, the soul of meditation; and honor the reward of action.

Writing is how I stay sane. It's completely necessary.
