We had an imaginary graduation cruise today for those who created Kaizen-Muse Creativity Coaching course work and everyone made a contribution.
Here's Sandy's poem:
My muse is an anteater sniffing around to find the perfect anthill full of crunchy little creative ideas.
My muse is a banana peel waiting for someone to slip on it.
My muse is a ballerina with three legs, creating new dances that only she can dance.
My muse is a golden key that fits into the treasure chest hidden in my heart.
My muse is a wrong note that’s more beautiful than all the right notes.
My muse is a little girl with tights that won’t stay up and a pencil box full of stars.
My muse is a guitar made out of cardboard and rubber bands.
My muse is a crumpled piece of paper with the formula for happiness written on it in hieroglyphics.
My muse is a conversation between two people who don’t yet know their hearts have begun to intertwine.
My muse is a moonbeam grinning down at me from the dark night sky.

And when I say "ay," I really mean "way." Most of the time.
