For me first it's finding quiet in my life - and I do that through yoga and meditation. It's also been a matter of changing the way I eat because I think what we eat can inform who we are food is a chemical and a drug to a certain extent.
I think it comes from really liking literary forms. Poetry is very beautiful but the space on the page can be as affecting as where the text is. Like when Miles Davis doesn't play it has a poignancy to it.
