Muse Media: Time and Louise Erdrich

 #Muse Media

#Muse Media is a series of short posts, looking for our muse by mixing prose with other media.  If this was in the form of a Haiku with an image, it might be called a Haiga. For the moment  let's enjoy the prose of some wonderful authors.

 The Passage of Time

"Time is the water in which we live, and we breath it like fish"

                                                                   Louise Erdrich  from "Four  Souls"

The quote exemplifies the incredibly rich prose of Louise Erdrich. I have to wonder whether she labors for hours to come up with such a phrase, or if her muse guides her into a flow of  beautiful language. This quote is what prompted me to start this series.

Despite it's quantifiable nature, the notion of time often feels very subjective.

In what ways are you effected by time in your life?
