Inspiration
The modern day muse, guiding angel, temptress, mentor
A challenging devil on your shoulder
Another soul to feed from, another view of life
Not always pretty, not always nice
Life in the raw, fearful, challenging, fulfilling, real
The greatest achievements are rarely the work of an individual working in isolation: the human being requires and feeds from inspiration.
Whether the inspiration is from nature, beauty, art or other people, it is an essential element in all that we do.
If your inspiration is visual, if a landscape or an artwork will do it, you'll have found it by now. If it's music, it will be in your play list. If it's your role model, your God or your guru, you'll be doing fine.
But maybe what you need is another view on life, a challenge to your self-beliefs, a probing, a witness to your faults and your successes, someone who can see your fears and dreams and who can work with them. A modern day muse perhaps, a person who can add to the sum total of your being.
Not as a therapist, not as a coach, although those skills may be used, not in a therapy-room, and not a conventional relationship. A peer, a catalyst, an inspiration, a reason to live your own life better.
