How to Know it's the Muse Speaking

A client in an older subdivision in Athens, Ga has a bit of vintage woodland at the margin.

.

Their home is Connecticut farmhouse vernacular ca. 1894.

.

Not large, not small, not grand, pure elegant.

We will make a slight clearing in the vintage woods for a cabin.
.
EXACTLY the cabin in imagination, above.
.
A folly to be discovered.  A folly that can be used as many things thru the years.
.
Let the rescue operation begin: windows, stone, brick, door, wood.....

Hired to design the garden it's amazing what the Muse thinks of.  Perhaps your Muse speaks and you think you're having 'crazy thoughts'.  How to know it's the Muse speaking?  The idea scares you a bit, stretches you out of your comfort zone, yet from 1st thought the idea is thrilling, delightful in the way joy was when you were 8 years old.  Here lies your spirit.  Wabi sabi, feng shui.  Not listening is perilous.  Letting others steer you away from your Muse?  They are in your life why?  
.
Too often it's the one we love saying, What?  Here's what to say if the one you love hinders the path to your Muse's bidding, "Your words are harmful to my spirit.", or simply, "It makes me happy."
.
Over 50 and a woman?  Either statement could empty a stadium full of men spoken with the right tone/body language.  But you already know that.
