Yes! The quiet whisper that says "Notice." And sometimes it's a full-on yell. Beautiful articulation of the Muse, and so perfect to read on a Monday morning. Thank you✨❤️

Awww, Charlene. Thank you so much for reading. I think I have previously taken the role of attention for granted. I'm happy she resounded.

Then what you do is "musing" and sometimes amusing! I once walked along at Hatcher Garden and got a definite urge to take a picture of a bush. I argued with it, but Bump of Direction said "Take the damn picture!" There was a water snake it in, grinning up at me.

You paid attention and was gifted a surprise!

So happy the water snake was grinning. :-)

I love the way you've composed this. It's so quiet and reverent, a calm power underlying the entire peace. I think we each have our own manifestations of the muse, and it's our responsibility to cultivate that relationship. Beautiful piece! 😁✨

Thank you, Josh.

"so quiet and reverent, a calm power underlying the entire peace" -- I could not have better articulated my hope for reception.

And I strongly agree that a muse is a very personal concept. I appreciate that this space has been comfortable enough for me to openly explore.

Cheers.

🙏
