Writers, Vivo la Evolución
Every once in a while I peruse my old writings, be they blog or good 'ol pen and paper entries, usually on a whim or as some sort of tangent from whatever it was I was supposed to be doing.

Can One Stencil Creativity?

Talent is liquified trouble
That's a suggestive hook of a line, a yoke of a line, uttered by Sydney Pollack in the documentary I posted of a few days back, namely "Sketches of Frank Gehry". It's brought up within the context of that portion of the dialog between himself and Frank that revolves round the oft uttered question...
314. "Only love can apprehend and hold them..."
