“if it doesn’t come bursting out of you in spite of everything,
don’t do it.
unless it comes unasked out of your heart and your mind and your mouth and your gut,
don’t do it.
[...]
unless it comes out of your soul like a rocket,
unless being still would drive you to madness or suicide or murder,
don’t do it.
unless the sun inside you is burning your gut,
don’t do it.
when it is truly time, and if you have been chosen,
it will do it by itself and it will keep on doing it
until you die or it dies in you.
there is no other way.
and there never was.”
