The Complicated Creative Muse
by Doug Smith

The creative muse is complicated. There are key times and right circumstances that spark and trigger creativity in our lives: high energy projects with other creative people, late night parties with musical instruments to play, deep thoughtful walks into the woods, long car raides with the radio off, adventures in the city with a close friend, dancing spontaneously, juggling, prolonged periods of reading randomly, browsing in a favorite bookstore, riding a bicycle...and on and on.


We are blessed that the creative muse -- as I see it -- visits very frequently.

There is no limit to your creative muse. Your creative muse is equipt with an unlimited amount of inspiration. You can draw on this inspiration without ever running out.

Well, if that's the case, you may say -- why can't we simply conjure up our creative muse whenever we want to? Why isn't it as easy as turning on the tap to let the water flow?

The answer lives somewhere in between practice and serendipity; between discipline and inspiration. But it's there. Are you actively exploring?
