In search of inspiration some artists develop rather creative habits and approaches. The September/October 2011 issue of the Mental Floss magazine features several bizarre yet seemingly effective tips that famous writers have used in order to keep the muses nearby.
It’s a piece of cake. In order to create an environment suitable for muses to delve into and stay, here is what you do...
My senses are…
Intoxicated.
Scattered.
Focused.
My earthly form
not merely a shell
enclosing my soul

The only one who can repeatedly soothe me
And lift me up to a better place

“Stelle dein Licht nicht unter den Scheffel”
I’ve only ever heard that expression in German. After a quick background check, I see the source is Biblical. In English it means “don’t hide your light under a bushel”, and means that one shouldn’t conceal one’s talents or positive qualities. I always liked hearing positive feedback, and who ever has created anything who didn’t enjoy being understood and appreciated? Hearing praise, on the other hand, used to make me uncomfortable, so I tried to keep a low profile. Not to mention, I was so accustomed to people making a big deal out of nothing or out of very little, that I didn’t want to join them, nor did I ever want to seem like I’m part of that club.
‘Hiding my light’ used to be the theme of my life, as if the simple sharing of what I can do would make me a bad person, and no, I don’t come from a religious household…
Once upon a time it was a yesterday.
Yesterday was filled with beauty.
Sometimes yesterday was painful or sad
But pain and sadness expire.
There is no expiration date on beauty.
Did you ever notice that?
How was your yesterday?

An insatiable craving
A voracious appetite
An unquenchable thirst
A scorching intensity
A stimulating joy
An interminable desire
An immeasurably deep spirit
