Mystery is at the heart of creativity. As creative channels, we need to trust the darkness.

There is no such thing as being done with an artistic life. Frustrations and rewards exist at all levels on the path.
Julia Cameron
Image
The essential element in nurturing our creativity lies in nurturing ourselves.
Julia Cameron
Image
What we really want to do is what we are really meant to do. When we do what we are meant to do, money comes to us, doors open for us, we feel useful, and the work we do feels like play to us.

The reward for attention is always healing.
Julia Cameron
Image
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

My heart holds the world in tender awe.
Julia Cameron

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