WE ARE EXPLORING THE PRACTICE
OF DEVOTION
+ 3 quotes by Julia Cameron:
·
The quest
for a story is the quest for a life.
·
When we
are willing to be open-minded, art and beauty come flooding into us in a
thousand small ways. When we let ourselves see the possibilities instead of the
improbabilities, we become as flexible and resilient as we really are. It is
human nature to create. When we cooperate with our creativity, using it to live
within the lives we actually have, we surprise ourselves with our level of
invention.
·
Although
we seldom talk about it in these terms, writing is a means of prayer. It
connects us to the invisible world. It gives us a gate or conduit for the other
world to talk to us whether we call it the subconscious, the unconscious, the
superconscious, the imagination, or the Muse. Writing gives us a place to
welcome more than the rational. It opens the door to inspiration. It opens the
door to God or, if you would to "Good Orderly Direction." Writing is
a spiritual housekeeper. Writing sets things straight, giving us a sense of our
true priorities.
+ The practice of Devotion is the key to a
creative and joyful life. There are, of
course, many ways to be creative but if we are not devoted to it, the well runs
dry awfully fast. Please be devoted to
what makes you creative and joyful. The
world needs your creativity and your joy.
Everyone has a story.
Writing can be a way to discover your story and then share it with
others. We need your story. You are essential.
+ Spirituality & Practice offers
many resources on the spiritual
practice of Devotion. You can

practice or any practice. And, I have
work to do on my Devotion page. Maybe you can help. Send an email with the subject “Devotion” or
