Art is a spiritual practice. We may not, and need not, do it perfectly.
Julia Cameron
Image
The grace to be a beginner is always the best prayer for an artist.
Julia Cameron
Image
People frequently believe the creative life is grounded in fantasy. The more difficult truth is that creativity is grounded in reality, in the particular, the focused, the well observed or specifically imagined.

Anger is meant to be acted on. It is not meant to be acted out. Anger points the direction. We are meant to use anger as fuel to take the actions we need to move where our anger points us. With a little thought, we can usually translate the message that our anger is sending us.

Image
As we lose our vagueness about ourself, our values, our life situation, we become available to the moment. It is there, in the particular, that we contact the creative self. Art lies in the moment of encounter: we meet our truth and we meet ourselves we meet ourselves and we meet our self-expression .

We don't often talk about the fact that writing is all about rhythm. When you get too up in your head, you can lose a lot of your writing. Sometimes what a writer really needs to do is go dancing.
Julia Cameron
Image
You need to create pathways in your consciousness through which the creative forces operate.
Julia Cameron
Image
If we are forever yearning for more time, we are forever discounting what is offered.
Julia Cameron
Image
Do not call procrastination laziness. Call it fear.
Julia Cameron
Image
The growth of one blesses all. I am commited to grow in love. All that I touch, I leave in love. I move through this world consciously and creatively.

Writing just for the hell of it is heaven.
Julia Cameron
Image
Writing is like listening to a melody line in my head. Note by note, it knows where it wants to go. I follow it and lay it down. I can pare it, shape it, and polish it later...My job is to take down the dribs and drabs - to free-associate, if you will, knowing that the associations have their own plans for where we're going with all this.

We are not accustomed to thinking that God's will for us and our own inner dreams can coincide.
Julia Cameron
Image
Soul is not about function it's about beauty, form, and memory.

It hurts like hell when the world won't invest in you. But it's excruciating, almost more than you can bear, when you don't believe and invest in yourself.
