So.. facebook isn't working. This gives me time all of a sudden. Time that I am only borrowing from sleep.
I have been thinking a lot about muses the last few days. A muse is (according to wiktionary.org) a source of inspiration.
A muse is, to me, someone who inspires me. A person who awakens my interest and who makes me see the world differently. My muse is someone who inspires me, who ignites the will to create in me in a way no one else does. I do think that there is some kind of process of falling in love with this person, but I do not in any case believe it has to be based on love. There has to be a chemistry and a bond between the artist and the muse, but love is too deep to be entered into the equation. For the artist the muse is only the catalyst. The piece of art and the artist is where the love is.
I do believe it is possible for an artist to love someone without this person being his or her muse, and the artist can have a muse without loving him or her.
It is about chemistry and art. Things I do not understand but that I suffer from.
I try to analyse my feelings and my creations. But it just makes me understand less of it.
Do you have a muse?
