These days, more than any other time, we are worried about our personal life, our private life. When we talk about our private life, it means our home, our body even.

Working with plants, trees, fences and walls, if they practice sincerely they will attain enlightenment.Collection: Wall

Story greases the hoists and pulleys, it causes adrenaline to surge, shows us the way out, down, or up, and for our trouble, cuts for us fine wide doors in previously blank walls, openings that lead to the dreamland, that lead to love and learning, that lead us back to our own real lives as knowing wildish women.Collection: Wall

Don't feature the technique. My old drama coach used to say, "Don't just do something, stand there." Gary Cooper wasn't afraid to do nothing.Collection: Wall
