Journey through the Artist's Way, again.
Week 12: Recovering a Sense of Faith
Well we've made it to the end, but I strongly encourage anyone to read the epilogue, creative clusters guide,and the appendix:trail mix at the end of the book. "Creativity Requires Faith." Beautifully spoken and this is a beautiful chapter and book that Julia Cameron finishes with a challenge- "Reread this book. Share it with a friend...Trust God. Trust yourself."
I can truthfully say that immediately beginning the book again for the second time, did bring a different perspective and sealed its truths within me- some I still hold onto five years later.
This time I had to re-underline some things I had forgotten and underline some things I may have not taken in, the first time. I still continue to learn though, and Julia Cameron urges me gently on in my humble creative efforts and always applauds my dreams.
I leave you with my 'first' Artist's Prayer, written May 24, 2008
I ask you to unfold my life
Help me to seek You along the way
Help me to answer the question-
Do I want to be healed? Usher me forward
ever resolutely, tenaciously, but gently
like your grace
Help me to believe I'm not too late
Help me know I am not alone
I am loved. Help me to give back
what you put in me.
Good luck on your own journey,
