So what is a muse?
A muse is something that we all hear about, and so many strange connotations arise in our minds when we think of a muse. Some of the amusing definitions I’ve heard are “mermaid-like creatures who whisper words and music into the listening ears of reclining Greek men” and “those glowing crystals in Arizona that are supposed to deepen your insight.” The most popular definition of a muse is “a goddess who inspires a creative artist, especially a painter, writer or a poet.”
Now as Christian writers, we know who our true Muse is, don’t we?
Our Muse is the amazing and powerful Holy Spirit who lives and dwells within each of us. As we all journey and deepen our relationship with our Creator, we surrender to the flow of the Spirit.
In doing so, we can be certain that amazing surprises will show up in our writing. Be open to them because God is going do new things in you on a continual basis and you won’t want to miss any of it! Oh, my Sacred Circle Sister, I don’t want you to miss any of His Holy Spirit whispers! Your beautiful inner butterfly scribe begins to materialize and sprout wings as you grow with God! Promise yourself the joy of meeting with God daily. Crave this time with Him. Embrace it. Love it. Time with the Holy Spirit is so good… soak in His wisdom, His sacred whispers.

Thanks for your words of wisdom. I've always found the idea of a muse to be rather elusive and off-target, but you are right on when you speak of the role of God's Holy Spirit. That's our role as Christian writers: not to miss any of the Holy Spirit's whispers! Thanks for the smiles today.
