The 9 Muses – by Stephen Fearnley

This month composer’s choice is dedicated to Lorrie Kazan – because she is a muse …or maybe all 9 of them rolled into one body ! Its a pretty big call I know but having collaborated with Lorrie during last month’s One Mind Live Guest Guide, I found myself being very deeply moved by her insights and meditations. At home I have a small ceramic shrine that my daughter Jasper made specifically to the nine ancient greek muses when she was a teenager. It’s where I burn incense and light candles and make little prayers. It will be no surprise to One Mind Live members that I think the 9 muses are there to be accessed – from a deep archetypal place, rich in culture, grace and most definately an interface between this world and the world that we are shaping from our futures. The muses are within us all to ask for help and guidance. The 9 muses are: Clio is the “Proclaimer ”- Muse of history (often holding a scroll). Euterpe the “Well Pleasing ” Muse of music or flutes (often playing flutes). Thalia the “Blooming ” or “Luxuriant ” – Muse of comedy (often holding a comic mask).
