More quotes by Julia Cameron
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.
Julia Cameron
Love is the greatest medicine. I ask to be healing medicine for others. I ask my heart to expand its boundaries and to love others as they wish to be loved. I ask my heart to expand its boundaries and open to my being loved as I wish to be loved.
Julia Cameron
In times of pain, when the future is too terrifying to contemplate and the past too painful to remember, I have learned to pay attention to right now. The precise moment I was in was always the only safe place for me.
Julia Cameron
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.
Julia Cameron
Adversity is a misperception as all works toward the good.
Julia Cameron
We are ourselves creations. We are meant to continue creativity by being creative ourselves. This is the God-force extending itself through us. Creativity is God's gift to us. Using creativity is our gift back to God.
Julia Cameron
But do you know how old I will be by the time I learn to really play the piano / act / paint / write a decent play? Yes . . . the same age you will be if you don't.
Julia Cameron
We will experience the life we have the faith to experience.
Julia Cameron
No matter how sophisticated our lives may be we need to think of ourselves as creative children.
Julia Cameron
There is no such thing as being done with an artistic life. Frustrations and rewards exist at all levels on the path.
Julia Cameron
Creativity requires faith. Faith requires that we relinquish control.
Julia Cameron
As a writer, I find holidays often disturbing, not liberating, in their disruption of tempo, their open-ended time.
Julia Cameron
As you move toward a dream, the dream moves toward you.
Julia Cameron
Art is a spiritual practice. We may not, and need not, do it perfectly.
Julia Cameron
We have this idea that we need to be in the mood to write. We don't.
Julia Cameron
We are not accustomed to thinking that God's will for us and our own inner dreams can coincide.
Julia Cameron
I think of making love and making art as being very parallel. Even the most amateur attempt can be thrilling.
Julia Cameron
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.
Julia Cameron
The reward for attention is always healing.
Julia Cameron
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.
