These monkeys make me smile.
It’s been that kind of week, people. Can it get any more crazy around here?
Reports, experiments, valentines, bike riding, park day, ballet, Cub Committe work, sign-up sheets, an advertising project, extra piano lessons, hiring a new art teacher, e-mails… and through the din I hear my voice in a muffled, tunnel-like echo saying,
“Let’s start working on The Iliad tomorrow!”
(As if Homer’s pathos, hubris, and other epic themes have anything to add to the life we lead.)
But these Monkey Muses sing on in my head, “Keep reading! Keep writing! Keep creating! This is the time of your life!”
…And of course, they are perfectly correct.
Sing on, Monkey Muses in my head, sing on.
