The Muse in us all (#53)

This ability to think things over is basic in its practice and necessary to add wisdom when circumstances become complicated. The muse I most admire is when musing is used to create something new out of a collection of old concepts or items. The importance of there being a muse in all of us is our present dilemna with our national and personal state of affairs. The burgeoning of new, or even old that is different, seems to be a very high priority. How do we bring about the muse in us? Normally quandries or cunumdruns dictate our need to muse. Or an emotionally charged feeling will stimulate a musing. What we need to do in a proactive musing way is to set aside time and just use meditation to trigger a subject of importance and then begin to contemplate. The next Albert Einstein or Thomas Edison is just one thought away from reality. Most things begin with just one thought and then progress to another then another. All of us have the ability to muse, what we do with it is like so many other traits we share in common, either act on it or not. Those who put musing to action in their lives will experience an enriching knowledge that they would otherwise have missed out on.
