Make Art, Not War!

The growth of one blesses all. I am commited to grow in love.
All that I touch, I leave in love.
I move through this world consciously and creatively.
-Julia Cameron

rest

artwork by Mira


"So often we try to gird ourselves to face a harsh and difficult world when we might instead gentle both ourselves and our world just by slowing down.
...We could take a cue from music here: 'Rest' is musical term for a pause between flurries of notes. Without that tiny pause, the torrent of notes can be overwhelming. Without a rest in our lives, the torrent of our lives can be the same"
~Julia Cameron

authentic self

“We don’t always know what makes us happy. We know, instead, what
we think SHOULD. We are baffled and confused when our attempts
at happiness fail…We are mute when it comes to naming
accurately our own preferences, delights, gifts, talents. The
voice of our original self is often muffled, overwhelmed, even
strangled, by the voices of other people’s expectations. The
tongue of the original self is the language of the heart.”
— Julie Cameron
