D H Lawrence

The heart of creativity is an experience of the mystical union; the heart of the mystical union is an experience of creativity.
Julia Cameron

musings & scribblings

~ art and awakening

~ living the labyrinth

~ goodness gracious me!

~ on creativity

~ empty canvas :
wondering mind

Piet Mondrian

The Zen of Creativity
John Daido Loori
