Matai,

One cannot search to find one's Muse- but one might wander, looking at the world with open eyes, and perhaps the Muse will find one again, at some point when the thought of Muse has been forgotten in wonder at what one has found.

In times of absent Muse, I have found that ( for poetry) reading the works of others has been of some use. It seems to get the words moving in my thoughts, and perhaps that attracts the Muse. Sometimes I reread my old verse- proofing is always a good thing, given my skill ( or lack thereof) in typing. I think music might be the similar- Jerry?
