That thy brain must know,
Such harmonious madness
From my lips would flow
The world should listen then — as I am listening now.”

“When I listen to love, I am listening to my true nature.”

Julia Cameron (1948) American writer

Blessings (1998)
Context: When I listen to love, I am listening to my true nature. When I express love, I am expressing my true nature. All of us love. All of us do it more and more perfectly. The past has brought us both ashes and diamonds. In the present we find the flowers of what we've planted and the seeds of what we are becoming. I plant the seeds of love in my heart. I plant the seeds of love in the hearts of others.

Yet ask that some few drops of it may light
And listened to thy voice, and in it found
The very Spring and Soul of Poetry”
