"While many adults remember and can recite the nursery rhymes of Mother Goose, very few of us remember many childhood prayers except:Now I lay me down to sleep,I pray the Lord my soul to keep.If I die before I wake,I pray the Lord my soul to take.The key to our remembering a prayer is the fact that it is set in rhyme…. In creating this book of children's prayers, I have chosen to work withy rhyme. This allows the prayers to be easily memorized by both parent and child…. It is my hope that this book reflects both the spirit and feel of traditional children's spiritual works as well as the understandings that many modern parents have within their own spiritual practices." ~Julia Cameron"Creativity is an ancient spiritual path…I am unable to differentiate the creative from the spiritual experience." ~Julia CameronIn the tradition of her bestsellers The Artist's Way, The Vein of Gold, Blessings, and Heart Steps, Julia Cameron now awakens the creativity in us all with this imaginative and spiritual collection that is a natural extension of her art.
