Florence is always so beautiful and full of creative inspiration. I lived for 8 years in that great city, and I'm always looking forward to my next visit.
A filmmaker friend mentioned to me he thought that self-examination was the core of creativity. For me, creativity is like a sneeze. It just happens and is very real. I find out about myself as I create. To each his/her own. Great article. Thanks for publishing.
Nice hypothetical scenario. Coincidentally, I replied to a reader this morning about timid writing, echoing quintessentially what you are driving at. Write like you mean it.
Beautiful. I enjoyed reading this. I love the interconnectedness of our Self, what our Self creates, and the greater collective, which that creation ultimately reaches. "Either the artist vitalizes his society’s outlook or transcends it. The super-achievement of an incomparable masterpiece often does both.” Thanks for this Mike. It held a lot of good reminders for me.
