“Confront the dark parts of yourself and work to banish them with illumination and forgiveness. Your willingness to wrestle with your demons will cause your angels to sing.”
August Wilson
They are the words I live by, and have done so since I first came upon this quote in Esquire in the late 1980s. I wrote it down then, and I’ve kept it near to my heart ever since. And the times in my life when I haven’t been what I should have been, haven’t followed my heart, haven’t kept to what was true, they are the times when I failed to adhere to this lesson.
