Two posts in one day! Elections provide motivation.
I discovered this article I squirreled away last month…
Tom Silvestri of the Richmond Times-Dispatch wrote a dynamite commentary after hearing composer Philip Glass discuss lessons from the creative process. I get excited just reading the story again. What appeals to me most about the article’s content lies in the human component of genius. That is, these themes:
- How one’s longing moves ideas forward
- Moving toward fear
- Paying attention to a satisfying day
- Power of perspective
- Get started
- Who one plays with
- Mistakes
- Rewriting one’s narrative
All of these kernels make me want to stand up and shout, YES! Thank you, Mr. Silvestri, for taking notes, paying attention, and sharing this with your readers.
