THE ARTS
In Greek mythology, the goddess Mnemosyne (Memory) gave birth to the nine Muses who then grew up to become the inspiration for, and keepers of, The Arts. These mythological offspring continue to archetypally invite our deepest creative expression, and through
our relationship with them, we sing, dance, paint, sketch, write, recite, act, make and create.
A healthy culture honours tradition and reminds us
that the arts are essential
for human maturation and meaning-making and can help us to remember our “true natures”. It has been this way since the beginning of our history. It is only recently that many have let go of poetic pursuits in favour of a world that is more linear and mechanistic, with perilous results.
Let this be the inspiration to make space in your life to live into your true inheritance as a uniquely, creative human being regardless of what you may think of as “art”.
