The emerald city is where the vital force of Terpsichore’s celestial lyre rings throughout the heavens. The jade palace where this maiden muse of the heavenly dance delicately plucks the star-strings of her heavenly harp so the choreographed choir of the heavens can join in song. Such is the realm of Terpsichore. Such is the watery kingdom of the lady of the lake-dance.
Her elegant jade-like music provides the inspirational notions that encompass the primary color of nature. Terpsichore’s enchanted realm is this sacred emerald center of chlorophyll. Her energy is the dance of the magical horticultural sonata. Every note that is plucked by Terpsichore on her celestial harp is another choreographed step performed by the choral ballet of this biological emerald choir.
Terpsichore’s name is formed from the ancient Greek words Terpso (delight) and Choros (dance and/or song.) The etymology from the latter term can be seen in the words chorus and choreograph. This muse is usually depicted as being seated while playing a harp or lyre. Thus, this muse teases the tingling trickle of the green in such a way that the overall flow is beckoned to be emboldened by flexibility and agility.
So when the role that Terpsichore plays in the overall scheme of the cosmic dance is revealed and known, it becomes rather obvious that she plays a very important role in the very foundation and structure of nature itself.
