The soul longs to express itself through you.
This summer has been about my relationship to the muse in my heart, my inner muse.
The muse inspires passion and creativity. She is personified in Greek mythology as Aphrodite. She's daring and relentless. She's a wild force and in every woman. We don't know how to listen to her because in our culture the closest inner reference we have for her is that of a harlot or prostitute.
My longing for her has led me to create a new reference and question my shame around my creative expression and sexuality. I've let her guide me in how I present my physical form to the world (she likes dresses and cat eye eyeliner), to sketching her changing image in my art journal, to being more comfortable as a sexual being with passion and desire.
May all women everywhere this very moment open to the call of the muse. Go ahead, let her talk in your ear. She has some soul words you've been longing to hear.
