More quotes by Julia Cameron

Image
When we put the pen to paper, we articulate things in our life that we may have felt vague about. Before you write about something, somebody says, 'How do you feel?' and you say, 'Oh, I feel okay.' Then you write about it, and you discover you don't feel okay.

Art is the imagination at play in the field of time. Let yourself play.
Julia Cameron
Image
I bless the wisdom of my loving heart. Love is a form of listening. I listen with a loving heart. I listen to the love within my heart and I hear the love in the hearts of others.
Julia Cameron

Serious art is born from serious play.

When I listen to love, I am listening to my true nature. When I express love, I am expressing my true nature

We will experience the life we have the faith to experience.

Art is an act of the soul, not the intellect. When we are dealing with people's dreams - their visions, really - we are in the realm of the sacred. We are involved with forces and energies larger than our own. We are engaged in a sacred transaction of which we know only a little: the shadow, not the shape.

Creativity makes life useful to us. It also makes us useful to life.

When we open ourselves to exploring our creativity, we open ourselves to God: good, orderly direction.
Julia Cameron

No matter how sophisticated our lives may be we need to think of ourselves as creative children.
Julia Cameron
Image
An artist paints, dances, draws, writes, designs, or acts at the expanding edge of consciousness. We press into the unknown rather than the known. This makes life lovely and lively.

Image
My will for you is not harsh or unpleasant. It is gentle and perfectly tailored to your unique needs. Do not fear my direction. I am your heart's happiest guide.
Julia Cameron
Image
Art is a spiritual practice. We may not, and need not, do it perfectly.
Julia Cameron
Image
Our modern ideas of 'functioning' through things are really quite inhuman. We have this idea that no matter what is going on we still have to color between the lines, act normal.
Julia Cameron
Image
It is on these (20min) walks that my best ideas come to me. It is while walking that difficult clarity emerges. It is while walking that I experience a sense of well-being and connection, and it is in walking that I live most prayerfully.

If we lean into what we love instead of soldiering toward what we 'should,' our pace quickens, our energy rises, optimism sets in. What we love is nutritious for us.

Workaholism is a block, not a building block.

Creativity occurs in the moment, and in the moment we are timeless.
