More From Joni Mitchell

Whenever you take a step forward, you are bound to disturb something. you disturb the air as you go forward, you disturb the dust, the ground. you trample upon things. when a whole society moves forward, this trampling is on a much bigger scale; and each thing that you disturb, each vested interest which you want to remove, stands as an obstacle.
Moving Air Dust
As every writer knows... there is something mysterious about the writer's ability, on any given day, to write. when the juices are flowing, or the writer is 'hot', an invisible wall seems to fall away, and the writer moves easily and surely from one kind of reality to another... every writer has experienced at least moments of this strange, magical state. reading student fiction one can spot at once where the power turns on and where it turns off, where the writer writes from 'inspiration' or deep, flowing vision, and where he had to struggle along on mere intellect.
Wall Struggle Moving
When someone is seeking, it happens quite easily that he only sees the thing that he is seeking; that he is unable to find anything, unable to absorb anything, because he is only thinking of the thing he is seeking, because he has a goal, because he is obsessed with his goal. seeking means: to have a goal; but finding means: to be free, to be receptive, to have no goal. you, o worthy one, are perhaps indeed a seeker, for in striving towards your goal, you do not see many things that are under your nose.
Mean Thinking Goal
The goal wasn't to be a millionaire or to be a hollywood star. that was not the goal. the goal was something about - the goal was to find the goal, but i knew where it was.
Stars Goal Hollywood
You yourself create all your misery, hour after hour, day after day. you think the goal justifies the means, even the vile means. you are wrong: the goal is in the path on which you arrive at it. every step of today is your life of tomorrow. no great goal can be reached by vile means. that you have proven in every social revolution. the vileness or inhumanity of the path to the goal makes you vile or inhuman, and the goal unattainable.
Mean Thinking Goal
Children are meant to understand compassion and comfort because they have received compassion and comfort - and this should be in the family setting. a family should be a place where comfort is experienced and understood, so that the people are prepared to give comfort to others.

Forgiveness is unlocking the door to set someone free and realising you were the prisoner!
Inspirational Forgiveness Doors
Forgiving does not usually happen at once. it is a process, sometimes a long one, especially when it comes to wounds gouged deep. and we must expect some lapses...some people seem to manage to finish off forgiving in one swoop of the heart. but when they do, you can bet they are forgiving flesh wounds. deeper cuts take more time and can use a second coat.

Change isn't made by asking permission. change is made by asking forgiveness, later.
