Muse Missives: Invitation
// July 6th, 2010 // creativity, curiosity
Dear Muse,
You are cordially invited to attend our upcoming creative endeavour.
It will be a simple affair with moderate amounts of paint, paper, string, sweet drinks, balloons, and birdsong provided.
We have taken the liberty of placing a sturdy chair beside the apple tree. We can also organize a faux-Classical Greek fountain if needed. Seriously. We live very close to a Home Depot.
You may be aware that my artistic side is fickle, fizzled, and occasionally crabby. We’re sure you can find a graceful way to be with this slightly hoonish part of me. I will be there to mediate if necessary.
There will be geese wandering the grounds, you may wish to wear boots.
There is no need to bring wine (though feel free), a small bag of bread crusts will suffice.
Breathlessly awaiting your arrival,
Dave.

What muse could refuse such a request?
Love the letter! the paper airplane is great too! Time to get soaring off into the artistic world.
This is so sweet Dave. Like romancing your muse with no expectations, but a little hope.
We can gain great insight by detaching ourselves a little from our creativity and muse sometimes, I like your approach.
Hi Kat, Stephanie and Dan,
Thanks so much for your comments. I’m glad you enjoyed this, this is actually the first post in what will be a weekly series. Can’t wait to get to know my Muse a little better
I absolutely LOVE that paper airplane painting. Did you do that, Dave? If so, can I buy it from you?
Fantastic idea! My muse needs a little coaxing and a gracious invitation to hang around! I love your images … really fun, whimsical but also dreamy/lovely. So nice to find you!

Hi Meg,
I love that you love that painting. It’s yours! I’m sending an email now. yay.
Hi Lis,
Thanks for visiting, I love it when CED people stop by! I’m doing a lot of ‘Muse Work’ at the moment and loving it–hope your Muse is being good to you!
