Out of the Blue...

​What was that?  Is the shadow in the bushes a bird? It should be a bird because it is what I expect it should be.  Often what I think I see right in front of me is what it really is.  Yet, like the blue jay that I just thought I saw in the bush, might it not also be him?

​Him--- because maybe, just maybe, when I have a sudden inspiration or finally see something that has been sitting right before me in a new way, it could have been because of him.  Let me introduce him.  His name is Nemmer and he is an archer.  Now why is that important?  It's important  because of his elfshot arrows.  When I get hit with an idea that comes from out of the blue (haha- that's his favorite joke), what is hidden is now revealed.  This does not mean that I get to find that one sock that is missing-- (he tells me because that is someone else's job).

"Hey there... Let me tell them.  This is about me after all.  This IS my  job after all - to give inspiration and the understanding that swells inside.  I like to think of myself as the Little Helper who wakes up the unaware."

"Now I understand that not everyone wants to be aware.  I accept that, but how boring it must be to be  one of those..."  

​"One question I do get asked when I am first seen is why do I dress up to look like a bird?  Other than the fact that I think blue is my color, it helps with the secondary job I have.  It is my disguise so that I can keep away those little dusty mytes that steal away inspiration.  They are everywhere!"  ​​

"Think of those nights when a dream tells you something, but the moment out of bed, it's lost.  Or when sitting and an inspiration hits, but from the chair to the next room, that sudden realization of having to ask 'what did I come in here for?' appears  and the idea is lost... that's is those nasty little mytes' doing."

​"I find that my bow and arrows are especially useful in swatting those pesky little creatures away."

​"Well, I have to get back to work, but now that you have seen me as I really appear, ask yourself this question.  Will you take  that extra second to look to see what was really there?  If you see me, then may you be hit by inspiration and not the dusty doo-doo of the mytes!  I'm off!!! "
