Art is a spiritual practice. We may not, and need not, do it perfectly.
Julia Cameron
Image
We imagine that if we had time we would quiet our more shallow selves and listen to a deeper flow of inspiration. Again, this is a myth that lets us off the hook - if I wait for enough time to listen, I don't have to listen now, I don't have to take responsibility for being available to what is trying to bubble up today.

Writing is like breathing, it's possible to learn to do it well, but the point is to do it no matter what.
Julia Cameron

Each of us has an inner dream that we can unfold if we will just have the courage to admit what it is, and the faith to trust our own admission. The admitting is often very difficult.

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.

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.

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
Image
You need to create pathways in your consciousness through which the creative forces operate.
Julia Cameron
Image
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.

Pivotal to a happy writing life is a practice of daily personal writing.
Julia Cameron
Image
Once we are willing to accept that anything worth doing might even be worth doing badly, our options widen.
Julia Cameron
Image
Our moods and insights are transitory. This current is a flow of grace moving us to our right livelihood, companions, destiny.
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.

Sometimes the dying live more fiercely and wisely than the rest of us. (146)
Julia Cameron
Image
As we open our creative channel to the creator, many gentle but powerful changes are to be expected.
Julia Cameron
Image
Next to Morning Pages and Artist Dates, the most potent tool for contacting inner guidance and creativity is walking.
Julia Cameron
Image
All of us contain a divine, expressive spark, a creative candle intended to light our path and that of our fellows.

I plant the seeds of love in my heart. I plant the seeds of love in the hearts of others.
