More From Joni Mitchell

[...] i suppose this was the first time i had ever felt an urge not to be. never an urge to die, far less an urge to put an end to myself - simply an urge not to be. this disgusting, hostile and unlovely world was not made for me, nor i for it. it was alien to me and i to it.
World Firsts Aliens
There is yet another illusion, that it is important to be respectable, to be loved and appreciated, to be important. many say we have a natural urge to be loved and appreciated, to belong. that’s false. drop this illusion and you will find happiness. we have a natural urge to be free, a natural urge to love, but not to be loved.

I feel the urge, familiar now, to wrench myself from my body and speak directly into her mind. it is the same urge, i realize, that makes me want to kiss her every time i see her, because even a sliver of distance between us is infuriating. our fingers, loosely woven a moment ago, now clutch together, her palm tacky with moisture, mine rough in places where i have grabbed too many handles on too many moving trains. now she looks pale and small, but her eyes make me think of wide-open skies that i have never actually seen, only dreamed of.
Distance Moving Eye
When you go through a tunnel - you're going on a train - you go through a tunnel, the tunnel is dark, but you're still going forward. just remember that. but if you're not going to get up on stage for one night because you're discouraged or something, then the train is going to stop. everytime you get up on stage, if it's a long tunnel, it's going to take a lot of times of going on stage before things get bright again. you keep going on stage, you go forward. every night you go on stage.
Dark Night Tunnels
Goal setting is fine if you want to be the warrior archetype. these people are setting goals constantly and trying to get someplace else. they say, "if you don't know where you are going, then you won't know when you get there." when you get to a higher level of consciousness, though, when you get into a spiritual approach to life, you are not trying to get someplace else, because you never can get it done. you never are going to get there. instead, what you want to do is get to a place where you are at peace. you are connected to god.

My urge to write is an urge not to self-expressionism but to self-transcendence. my work is both bigger and smaller than i am.
