“Believing in the goodness of each, I add to the goodness of all. We bless each other even in passing.”

Julia Cameron (1948) American writer

Blessings (1998)
Context: I honor my importance and the importance of others. None of us is dispensable, none of us is replacable. In the chorus of life each of us brings a True Note, a perfect pitch that adds to the harmony of the whole. I act creatively and consciously to actively endorse and encourage the expansion of those whose lives I touch. Believing in the goodness of each, I add to the goodness of all. We bless each other even in passing.
