Muse?

Muse seems to little of a word to express the inspiration that comes from our surroundings. They come in such plentiful forms that to squeeze that into a four letter word baffles me. The entire English language disappoints me sometimes. We have all these beautiful things in the world around us, and the best we can come up with is "tree" or "ocean". Perhaps just the word itself is meant for us to derive our own meaning from it. Not just take what is being said for granted. Words have such power that those who use them lightly should be educated in what it is they are doing. Some how writers, musicians, artists, and orators find ways to arrange words in forms that reach into our soul and bring to the surface feelings and ideals we never thought dwelt there.
