Julia Cameron quotes about
creativity orderly exploring
When we open ourselves to exploring our creativity, we open ourselves to God: good, orderly direction.
prayer artist grace
The grace to be a beginner is always the best prayer for an artist.
children healing thinking
No matter how sophisticated our lives may be we need to think of ourselves as creative children.
talent busy too-busy
If you are too busy to develop your talents, you are too busy.
prayer responsibility scary
Answered prayers are scary. They imply responsibility. You asked for it. Now that you've got it, what are you going to do? Why else the cautionary phrase Watch out for what you pray for; you might just get it?
grace today needs
For today, all you need is the grace to begin beginning.
commitment honor purpose
In our human lives, we are often impatient, ill-tempered, inappropriate. We find it difficult to treat our intimates with the love we really hold for them. Despite this, they bear with us because of the larger, higher level of family that they honor even in our outbursts. This is their commitment.
spiritual writing practice
Writing is a spiritual practice in that people that have no spiritual path can undertake it and, as they write, they begin to wake up to a larger connection. After a while, people tend to find that there is some muse that they are connecting to.
magic imagine
All of us are far richer than we imagine. None of us possesses a life devoid of magic.
spiritual creativity blood
Just as blood is a fact of your physical body and nothing you invented, creativity is a fact of your spiritual body and nothing you must invent.
jobs writing knowing
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.
spiritual believe esoteric
I believe that when we ask to be led, we are led, and there's nothing too small or esoteric for spiritual help.
writing over-you paper
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.
song nature stars
I honor the wisdom of life. I learn from life in all its forms. The tree teaches me. The sparrow and the wren sing my song. I am open to the lessons Life brings me from the earth. I learn from the wind, from the sun, from the small flowers, and from the stars. I walk without arrogance. I learn from all I encounter. I open my mind and heart to the guidance and love that come to me from the natural world.
