Summer calls us to be playful, to allow a bit more relaxation and enjoyment of nature, friends, and new adventures. It can bring the child out in us, letting ourselves go, to be immersed in gardening, decorating, or creative play. This freedom we give ourselves is the fertile soil of our Muse; so many ideas strike our fancy to try, letting ourselves go to see where this might take us.
When was the last time you watched clouds pass, naming the shapes you identified? Or laid on your back in an open space at night and got lost in the star-studded sky? Or twirled in the breeze, letting the wind determine your movement?
Kate's Turn:
I’ve been invited to a Summer Follies this month…..a last hurrah before school begins and serious study once again takes precedence. I gave my performance anxiety some stage time in my mind, but decided THAT in and of itself was folly. This is a party defined to be fun, lighthearted, and FULL of folly…..no rules, everyone supports whatever each of us offers, all in the spirit of fun and folly.
So I am considering what I would LOVE to do, and now have a captive audience to share my folly with….karaoke, contra dance, yodeling contest? I also think about what folly I already engage in that I could share with my friends; maybe they’d find it aMUSING as well…puzzle master challenges, challenging yoga poses….I’ll let you know next time what a folly time was had by all!
Meeting your Muse is about having FUN…getting lost….being caught in the act of being yourself: creative, open, curious, adventurous, joyful! "All the world’s a stage"…who said that?
Get Fired Up:
What strikes your fancy? What would be pure folly but oh, so much fun to do? What camp would YOU love to go to?
Say “YES!” because summer is not over yet!!
