the muse

If you’ve ever had the privilege of hearing from the muse—a moment of inspiration, a phrase jumping to mind, a song flying out of you faster than you can sing it, an insight that could turn around your entire business—

Well, it’s hard to hold that creative gift and feel as though it came from yourself, from the same internal organs and anxious brain that was so recently wrapped up in the mundane before—out of nowhere—something else arrived. 

And if it’s true that those creative impulses are gifts, and you’ll have to look far and wide to find artists who do not believe so, then this may be worth knowing.

The muse doesn’t just love to give gifts. She likes being listened to. She’s willing to throw elbows, kick shins, do whatever it takes to get you to bring one of her ideas into the world.

But begin to make space in your heart, in your mind, in your strength, in your soul? An intentional time and place to do nothing but pay attention?

Well, all there is to say is try it for yourself. 

Thank you. Let’s have a great day.
