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?
