Send us Fan Mail"It may be that when we no longer know what to do, we have come to our real work, that then when we no longer know which way to go, we have come to our real journey. The mind that is not baffled is not employed. The impeded stream is the one that sings." ---- Wendell BerryThe situation that Berry describes is a creative edge, the place where the known meets the unknown, where what is and has been realized and understood fades into the possibilities of what is yet to be.Two questions arise for me in contemplating this creative edge. Where do we look for guidance? Or rather, what are we in conversation with when we reach the edge of knowing? And what is a good way to court this guiding source, energy, inspiration, or wisdom?The nine Muses of ancient Greece and their mother, the Titan goddess Mnemosyne, offer some ideas.Thanks for listening and keep the mystery in your life alive...Support the showEmail Catherine at [email protected] a positive review on apple podcasts!
