Alma Deutsher was born in 2005. At the date of this video performance of her OWN COMPOSITION she was ELEVEN YEARS OLD…. I don’t think there is any doubt that she is the reincarnation of the sister of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Read more about her amazing musical career…. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alma_Deutscher

The Muses (Ancient Greek: Μοῦσαι, moũsai: perhaps from the o-grade of the Proto-Indo-European root *men- “think”) in Greek mythology, poetry, and literature, are the goddesses of the inspiration of literature, science and the arts. They were considered the source of the knowledge, related orally for centuries in the ancient culture that was contained in poetic lyrics and myths.
Greek mousa is a common noun as well as a type of goddess: it literally means “art” or “poetry”. In Pindar, to “carry a mousa” is “to excel in the arts”. The word probably derives from the Indo-European root men-, which is also the source of Greek Mnemosyne, English “mind”, “mental” and “memory” and Sanskrit “mantra”.
Shakespeare’s Sonnet 38 invokes the Tenth Muse:
“How can my Muse want subject to invent,
While thou dost breathe, that pour’st into my verse
Thine own sweet argument?”
“No Muse-poet grows conscious of the Muse except by experience of a woman in whom the Goddess is to some degree resident; just as no Apollonian poet can perform his proper function unless he lives under a monarchy or a quasi-monarchy. A Muse-poet falls in love, absolutely, and his true love is for him the embodiment of the Muse… But the real, perpetually obsessed Muse-poet distinguishes between the Goddess as manifest in the supreme power, glory, wisdom, and love of woman, and the individual woman whom the Goddess may make her instrument… The Goddess abides.”(comment by the British poet Robert Graves)

It’s Saturday Night everywhere at least once a week…. it’s my turn tonight. Jazz and Mozart are my preferred non-toxic escape from reality when I need a Jolt of Joy you can only get from artistic perfection…… In this masterpiece of jazz perfection, the Grammy Award winnering group Snarky Puppy performs. Cory Henry – keyboards (solo) – demonstrates why electronic keyboards were invented in a solo performance that is beyond genius! We are not worthy of such sounds on this planet……

In the Western world, poetry is a dying art form….. As art becomes extinct or ignored, so does the civilization. Or, at the very least, the art being created, or the absence of it, reflect the spiritual condition of the individuals in the civilization. Personally, I have discovered that writing poetry is very therapeutic. It creates inner peace, perspective, serenity, spiritual insights, and aesthetic reverie.
Modern “poetry” is most often expressed in the Lyrics of songs. Have you listened to very much “popular” music lately? In the U.S. the most popular (best selling) music is “country music”. The lyrics to the majority of these songs are written specifically to appeal to the LOWEST common denominators of human “intelligence”: sex, cowboys, beer, trucks, parties, and the “idealized lifestyle” of the working-class peasant, jealousy, failed romance, and, did I mention sex? Fundamentally, modern “music” is all about making money. Like the rest of Western “civilization”, which is an artificially created mirage, bought and paid for by NWO bankers, legislated by criminal politicians, enforced by a psychotic military-police-state, and propagandized into “popularity” by the Global Media Machine — everything is about MONEY, Power, Control and Possessions…. and did I mention sex?
There is a quiet, simple remedy for the insane, manic, soulless absurdity created by the artificial environment of television, Hollywood films and the internet.
It is a simple form of “meditation”: Turn off the TV, turn off your cell-phone, turn ON Your Soul. Write a poem.
If you wonder sometimes why you feel depressed, overwhelmed, stressed out, purposeless and alone, you may find Your SELF while writing a poem.
I prefer HAIKU. How about you?
I you would like to share your poems with me, and others who read the Blog, please post them in the COMMENTS! 🙂
