I am attaching a photo of a page with five post-it notes on it.  I pulled five books off of my varied bookshelves and then randomly skimmed through each until something spoke to me.  The five notes are quotes, gists, or paraphrases of the words that spoke to me from those pages.  I stuck them on one page in a notebook where I refer to them several times during the day. This is one of my ways to rewild.

I am looking to be struck by surprising ideas, turns of phrase, or invokes a response. This is a way to alter one’s stance toward the familiar and that too is a way to rewild your imagination.  I think that if I keep reseeding the paradise of my mind, it will keep fruiting.

 

If nothing arises from the post-its, I can always refer to them in the future.  Or refer to ones from the past like below.  The Muse is everywhere, in everything, and always moving toward me.  You, too.
