Dialogue with my muse |
JOE: Good morning Calliope. CALLIOPE: Good morning Joe. I missed you on Saturday. JOE: I didn't feel inspired to write. CALLIOPE: Don't blame me. I was here waiting for you. JOE: I know. I don't blame you. CALLIOPE: What was it then? JOE: As I told you, I have not felt much like writing all week and found it a struggle to get anything into words. CALLIOPE: To what do you attribute this lack of inspiration? JOE: It took me a while to figure it out. CALLIOPE: Please share what you discovered. JOE: I have been reading about the dark night of the soul as you know. Last week was not one for me as far as I know. However I have been there in the past and have worked with many people as they struggled to make sense of them. CALLIOPE: What was the effect of reading about it? JOE: I have come to understand the dark night as a time of putting ordinary life on hold, stepping back and reevaluating life. Just reading about it put my creative thoughts on hold for a while. CALLIOPE: How long do you expect this to last? JOE: I awoke at 4:30 this morning my mind brimming with creative ideas. I guess it's over now. Talk with you tomorrow. |
