to a muse

---

Why there were tropes as Muses descends from why there’s personification at all: tree limbs moving, toys responding, friends imagined, gods, and angels.

Originally a muse is a way to be: in a muse, a play of mind, a reverie. Being drawn into rumination, being given in to presencing, objectifies itself into the presence of it all, which is at once a self-differentiation as the sway of swaying, play of playing: wind, inspiration apart from self-swaying, enspiriting itself. The presence emblemizes the play, appealing as a part of one apart from one, “there” marked as the appeal in itself, possibly promising a return of its potential or reincarnation of playing in terms of its terms or tangibles: psychic mirrors of one’s own potential for more musing. Wondering becomes personal wonder engaging one: a muse in “me.”
