And ignite your imagination through right and left brain. You can go to musea.org backslash insight and sign up. complimentary four-hour class just for you.
And here's the poem that came from it. It's called
Meet Me Off the Map
The keys you have been looking for
are in the hands of your hidden self.
The riddle is you have to know
where to find that self and how to request the keys.
If it was that easy,
you would have already found your way in.
The locked doors and boarded up windows
and cages without hinges that can hold you tight
may litter the landscape of your everyday experience,
may clutter up the clarity of your truest voice and vision.
That's why seeking the keys of the hidden self
is essential soul work.
That is why you keep looking.
You just know there's something more, to you.
After all, you are mostly stardust, you know.
Surely that means you are meant to shine.
The adventure to discovering your hidden self
can be quite dangerous to your default settings,
and your comfort levels,
because the critic may stand and say:
Hey you, there's no way in,
and there are no keys to find,
and you, my dear, are wasting your time and your mind.
The voice of your muse may seem oddly silent
in the cacophony of mixed messages.
You may find yourself saying,
Now where did that dream run off to,
and how did I end up here again?
Is this what I came here for? What's missing?
Ah, that is a good question.
Most of us trudge on, seeking but not finding,
asking but not really knowing the way,
lost in a seemingly endless to-do list.
Making the time to have tea with the great mystery
is likely the last thing on your calendar,
unless you, like me and us,
have tea with the muse.
Will you dare to join us?
Oh, good. All right. Go right at the old oak tree.
Just pass the sparkly fairy cottages.
And don't stop there, though,
even if they promise you yummy cake.
Make a left at the corner where it says:
there be dragons.
That's right, just off the map.
At first, you might feel like you're following.
And then you might feel like you're falling.
Following and failing and falling
are all part of the journey off the map.
I will meet you there, just off the map,
and catch you up here in this space between worlds.
Many adventures to be found.
