My Socially Distanced Muse

Looking for My Muse

 Oh, Muse, where have you been?  You seen to have gone away for such a very long time.  

I last wrote here in September.  I have thought about it oh so many times.  But I just shied away from those qwerki thoughts and musings.  In and out they came.  Easy to ignore.  Some stay a while amounting in little of substance.  Some just evaporate immediately.   

I could blame it on the state of the world.  I could cite isolation and stay at home orders.  I could ascribe it to health challenges.  Many reasons, more excuses.  It just didn't seem like  the time to muse or share or whatever it takes to tap these keys to put down those thoughts and musings.

I think about ways to re-ignite my inner inspiration.  Just do it seems to be a mantra I hear, but it hasn't been enough to chant a mantra to entice my Muse to return.     My Muse, it seems, has been socially distancing.  No matter how I implored it to return, it remains away.  I think the muse was overwhelmed by 2020.  

But it is a the beginning of another month.  The first of February.  2021.  Not too late to pick up anew.  Not necessarily where I left off.   Maybe transform it.  Maybe just open myself to the universe and see where it takes me.  

The Muse has been socially distancing more than necessary.  It's time to for us to don our masks, stay safe and begin again.   Or perhaps the Muse prefers to zoom?   I could handle that.  Do you happen to know it's zoom contact info?
