The Muses were nine daughters of Zeus in Greek mythology. They inspired art, poetry, dancing, music, writing and other cultural pursuits. When humans desired inspiration in these fields, they often appealed to the Muses for help. When I was in high school, our English class was reading poetry aloud. One of my classmates had apparently never heard the word pronounced (myooz) and amused us all by boldly reading "Sing, heavenly moose!" I am hoping to have inspiration for the musings I plan to write in this blog.
Many a dreary day since has been brightened by imagining the songs of the heavenly moose.
