Never had that experience, for sure, but I've read about it. Some of my friends have had bright and accomplished children, and a few have gained some small bit of fame. I once shook Van Cliburn's hand, as a High School student, and thought a lot about his genius as I grew up. Saw Janice Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, and Jim Morrison at their last concerts before they died. I've always wondered how the music would have developed, if they had lived. It's so different from losing the elders in the culture who've lived a long, productive ilfe, even if they were hermits, like J.D. Salinger.

Gilbert is a wise and winsome woman....she nails the bane of becoming famous .... i loved her stories on TED especially the one about racing home after the winds of muse to catch it before she could write it down...that image always stays with me as good images and metaphors do...glad you saw this too Powerful metaphors and images to remind me to keep the recorder close by, and always have paper and pens in my purse in case of battery failure! ha. She is so generous with her insights about the creative process! I have imagined you to be like her, generous and insightful, creative and winsome! Cheers, lovely lady Lola You should only read what is truly good or what is frankly bad. Gertrude Stein

- Puff, puff, give, give...those wisps of inspiration seem to smoke screen our imaginations too quickly for us to really enjoy the cloud; even if I could tap away the next 'Great Gatsby' of porn, due to certain kinds of personal time constraints, getting something like that out quickly enough and let it be viable might end up being a wasted money shot...genius to those who could wank out globs of wet fun fast that soak not only the paper it's written on, but the people perving it too... M~ And I know it's a huge waste of my time and energy, I still feel that I know the arc of the story, the funny characters who inhabit the tale of lust and sexual fulfillment, and the wonderful lessons learned about life and it's limitations. See, it's all a crap shoot, but at least they are digital pages I throw away. If they were real, I'd be in a sea of wadded up paper! ha. Cheers!

M~ I belong, collared, chained, and contained, in kennel and held in position by the waiting grace of a Mistress with the scarlet lipstick.  **Any inquiries, comments outside my confines are to be made with my Mistress prior to contact; less you wish me to be punished, though Mistress won’t take kindly to that either…  M~ - "My Mistress’s Bad Habit, and Naughty Pet" Not sorry, but I'm no longer the more of it you want every time you have a taste...that lick belongs to Mistress now.

Thomas Edison's comment (I think it was he): Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration may be apt here. I'd add that I think it is RECOGNIZING the flash of insight or genius for what it is, and knowing how to act upon that recognition. How may budding Leonardo DiVinci were discouraged in their first attempts? I guess I really AM going to have to read the book. Cheers! You should only read what is truly good or what is frankly bad.

Any form of entertainment: movies, books, and music is filled with one hit wonders. I am fascinated by the fairly recently deceased J.D. Salinger, who wrote The Catcher in the Rye. After that he went into seclusion and lived like a hermit (although a rich one  ) for the rest of his life. My theory is that he knew his book wasn't all that special but with all that hype and the continued sales over the years, which made him wealthy, he was afraid to write more at the risk of his writing being exposed as not quite as good as what was expected. It must be a burden to be a one hit wonder particularly if one is young when they have that hit and then have to spend the rest of their lives attempting to recreate that success. I suppose if one is older when it happens, there is not the same expectations placed on one that there would be if one were young.  I'd love to know how Grandma Moses or any of the other well known elders of our culture have survived the late blooming success that you mention. Thanks, again, for your visits and hugs. Hard not to go back to your blog and see the latest eye candy. The latent Bi in me loves the pictures and the funny posts. Thanks for blogging and posting!

Your comments about Genius reminded me - a friend shared a link about what it means to be gifted and I was going to post a blog about it - interesting stuff. One of the major points being that people who are creatively gifted can also be uber sensitive - it's a mixed blessing. Anyway, my generation of elementary ed teachers told us that most of us are 'normal' (whatever that is) and correctly predicted that we would be so involved with life outside of us, that genius, being gifted, or having a direct line with the origin of inspiration is quickly removed at a young age. They put one of my brilliant sisters on ritalin at an early age to 'control her impulses'. What mother would want her kid to be 'different'? Or have a hard time adapting to regular life and it's predictable necessities? I guess I should be happy that I have all my senses and won't be able to torment anyone in my dotage. Warm wishes to you today. There is no easy way out of your predicament with your Mom. God I loved the blue frog man's comment! So funny.
