Each time I write a column I'm aware of a piece of pressure-pressure to write something that is inspiring and relevant. Of course, I know you all want to read something that feels relevant to your life and inspiring in some way. Now can I let myself know that and at the same time, trust I have inspiration instead of pushing or pressuring it to come out? The problem in working from pressure is that whatever one knows, or whatever one does, gets undermined in critical ways.
