Your title caused me to pause. Curious why you chose in a beginning rather than in the beginning. Was it deliberate? Days later the choice of words resonates. I love the triangle thought diagram. I’m a visual learner and the drawing helps me to see the beauty and uniqueness of the muses in a different light.
I learned “In a beginning” from a Jewish friend and if I’m not mistaken, he offered a biblical reference.🤔 I’m going to reach out and ask him. Stay tuned…
What it means to me is that every moment is a new beginning. Adding 3musesmerge thought triangles is another opportunity to build the trio into something that might tough more people.
Thanks for letting me know that you like the drawings!!!
Sorry I have been MIA- school ended and work restarted seems like my break wasn’t nearly long enough to finish my projects!
I have been repainting the interior of the house, fixing everything that seems to have broken like a table leg on an old antique chessboard table that my Dad leaned on by mistake, a kitchen drawer that somehow the face came off but the drawer stayed in, the garden was a little out of control but better now, and trying to figure out my next move with my passion.
And just like that 2.5 weeks have gone by! I got most of everything done but still fighting the kitchen drawer and purging my ridiculous amount of clothes and shoes. I came up here to the Catskills to take care of my Dad with dress clothes I never wear now, dress work clothes same, high heels that I haven’t worn since I don’t remember when, and tons of catering clothes, kitchen clothes yadda yadda. I have decided to get rid of most everything and start over much smaller. I was just 50 a minute ago- long dark hair running around in dresses and heels. now I am 60 with short grey hair, little to no make up and really starting to embrace life!
I was told by a friend that in Chinese culture the number 60 is a rebirth! And that’s exactly what I am doing! Not starting over because I have the wisdom of the last 60 years but not giving into what culture, people, or anyone has to say about me, since that is their problem not mine! I am just finally free to be me!
The Covid weight will come off, the stress of the past is no longer mine to hold on to, and I am just giving it up to God... all of it. I saw a friend today who I hadn’t seen since the chop and she loved not just the hair cut but how much happier I am.
And while I am on a roll, I am going to start that weed whacker up after my evening meditation and free up some space around the trees!
If you have someone who has experienced both book and movie, listen to them. But the movie is AWESOME!
I was explaining a key scene to my project partner (25 years and three companies ago) and I’m getting animated and excited and choked up at a couple points and Bruce is starting to shush me (did I mention we were standing in line at an airport?) — and I look past a bunch of people (some who were not listening, some who were VERY not listening to me 😉) and there’s this woman just looking at me and grinning. People who know the movie, know the people who know the movie. 😁
Paintist, writist, creativist, typist! You’ve pulled another perfectly wonderful rabbit out of your hat, err, head scarf. As so often happens, The Princess Bride (never read) sent me Googling. My personal rabbit hole sometimes. 🤷🏽
In my reading I learned that Goodman knew the original work, of the same title, from his father’s reading to him from same. That version was written by S. Morgenstern, but Goodman claimed his dad skipped the Ho-hum parts! When Goldman wrote his own version based on the original one (artistic license in Spades!), he, too, focused on the best parts. Polishing details until they sparkled!
A magical rabbit hole indeed! And reviews provided extensive praise. Why am I not reading this book right now?! (It doesn’t feel like a Kindle read. Some books have to be in one’s hands to really be a book.)
As always thanks for the poof of magic that is 3musesmerge!
Yes! His father read it to him when he was quite I’ll with pneumonia at the age of 10. As a mature grandfather, he visited the Morgenstern museum with his 10 year old grandson and felt it was his life’s calling to revive the story! Synchronicity!
I’ve paused all reading since last Thursday, but look forward to diving back into the story. 😊

Sending you so much love! Xoxo
I sense so much freedom and light in your comment! I love that you are embracing life… and exploring your passion.
Grateful for all of the connections that led us to each other!
The notion of following meditation with weed whacker whacking intrigues me! Or just a function of cooler evening temperatures?!
I find all yard work to be meditative! It invites me into the present moment… especially weed whacking and weeding.

Princess Bride was a book? 😳 Inconceivable! (checks Amazon.com) OMG you're right!
Hahaha! I never run… either. 😂
Ahhh… I have not seen the film or read the book. A trusted friend suggested starting with book first. 💚

I’m standing with you in line… imagining Bruce shushing you. 😂
I will watch the film after reading the book.
I learned from the intro that the author only kept the “good parts” from Morgenstern’s original.

Another great song!!!
I agree! One of my favorites.
The movie was recommended to me years ago… several times by the the same person. I never followed through. 🙃
I’ve taken so much from the author’s intro that I’m glad I’m reading the book. I’ll definitely see the film too!
I missed you, but there’s no need to apologize!
You sound so light and energized! 🎉 That makes me smile big!
IIRC… You are traveling soon?

I don’t, but I’m now up to speed… “Before ‘she’ knew we were here to help her…”
That was then, this is NOW!
Pizazzam! (Pizazz + Shazam) 😉
