• As artists, we belong to an ancient and holy tribe. We are the carriers of the truth that spirit moves through us all.

• The artist brain is the sensory brain: sight and sound, smell and taste, touch. These are the elements of magic, and magic is the elemental stuff of art. In filling the well, think magic.

Do what intrigues you, explore what interests you; think mystery, not mastery.

  Julia Cameron

  Spiritual, Art, Fun
