Julia Cameron

We imagine that if we had time we would quiet our more shallow selves and listen to a deeper flow of inspiration.

Julia Cameron
I believe that what we want to write wants to be written. I believe that as I have an impulse to create, the something I want to create has an impulse to want to be born. My job, then, is to show up on the page and let that something move through me, in a sense, what wants to be written is none of my business.
Julia Cameron

Julia Cameron
Soul is not about function it's about beauty, form, and memory.
Julia Cameron
Fatigue can make it hard to have faith. Too much busyness can make it hard to have faith. Too much of too little solitude can impact faith. For that matter, so can a bout of hunger or overwork, anything carried to an extreme. Faith thrives on routine. Look at any monastery and you will see that. Faith keeps on keeping on.
Julia Cameron
You need to create pathways in your consciousness through which the creative forces operate.
Julia Cameron
At it's essence, art is an alchemical process. Alchemy is a process of transformation.
