“Do you think…” Calliope wears the expression of a mischievous five-year-old, “… our friends will know who belongs with which treat?” Nia rolls her eyes. “Yes.” Dress dotted with all the colors of the rainbow Thalia ponders. “Maybe — but then again, maybe not!”
Easy-peasy. Left to right: Nia, Tal, Cal. I hasten to add that much of this connectivity, ice cream cone to Muse, is based on appearances and outward behaviors. AmIright?
What we don’t always see as distinctly are the contents of their heart of hearts. The ideas they hold about the world. Career aspirations? (No worries. They seem right at home on this layover on their timeless journeys.) A suppressed fear of dogs? 🙃 Inter-Muse jealousy and competition?
What we see on the outside doesn’t always reflect the insides. Engagement with, caring about, and supporting our friends might offer a window, tiny or otherwise, into the vastness of their interiors.
In Richard Rohr's book Immortal Diamond I was introduced to the idea that the Holy Spirits resides inside each of us. Often that can be difficult to discern? Especially in ourselves?
Sometimes as a decent tenant; sometimes a rowdy one! Not trying to be funny. I believe some may live unaware of The Spirit. Others may struggle in a push/pull over “who am I, what do I believe, can I straddle the fence. I was one of the latter for decades.

I’ll have another scoop of huckleberry!
Truth and confession:
As Drawist drew she thought:
Vanilla=Cal
Many flavors=Tal
A balanced mix of coffee, chocolate and vanilla=Nia
But! By the time Loveletterist was writing, she wasn't sure if that was true.
Wouldn't Cal have all the flavors since she's most likely to see all sides?
Wouldn't Nia's have vanilla because she likes simple and clean?
Wouldn't Tal like the caffeinated java?
🤷🏻♀️
With all of this "not knowing" I think today's love letter is just right!
That illustrates my saying we don’t “see” the insides, yet they can exert noticeable effects on the Muse/Person/Dog.

Takes one to know one! :)
