Finding Water: Julia Cameron

This week wraps up my e-mail Artist Circle's exploration of Julia Cameron's book "Finding Water: The Art of Perseverance."  I've enjoyed a variety of things about this book. This excerpt is only one of many that moved me:

Working at art  is really an act of communion. When I write, I am praying. When I miss a day's writing, I, in effect, miss a day's prayer--and I feel it.  I believe there are higher forces that we connect with when we work...I have written for 20 years. That has given me a spiritual life. I believe that I am intended to write, that when I write, I open myself to Spirit.

  1. Hi Kathy, I also think when I write, I open myself to the Spirit and God. I thank you for the journey'' Finding Water.'' It has changed me as a person and I will always cherish the friends I've met with this novel.
