Don't Know Y

2007.06.12

I don't know why. But I seem to have lost my muse. So here's a photo I took in April at the Rancho Santa Ana Botanical Gardens. A curious tree, a Y tree. Why is it shaped like a Y? Why are those rocks there? Why does it feel like a sign, like a fork in the road? Why did it catch my attention? Sigh...I don't know why.

And for your inner kid, here's a version of Don't Know Why by Norah Jones with guests Elmo and the Letter Y. :)

I know! She holds her own against that small red scene stealer. ;)

Your muse is only temporarily affected by 2 things:

burnout... breathe deep & chill out for 30 minutes (minimum!!) at least once a day!

and/or not doing what you really want to do...

The muse is never really gone, it just hides for a spell!!!

I don't know why either... but Kangshung's comment makes sense. But it certainly makes a great composition! Great job :)

Hey thanks :) I will.

The phoenix felt a fire coming on and jumped out of the ashes. The Muse only leaves us when we are too tired. Have a good long sleep then watch some comedy. Or try this. Look at your refrigerator (fridge). Think of how many uses you could put either it or its contents to. Go and photograph those. To be truly creative we need to move out of our comfort zones. Happy musing.
