    And often, the best poetry and literature is written in the hour of darkness.

    There was a country (it evades me now which one it was) that placed a group of geniuses in what they deemed to be the perfect environment: Nice quiet place in nature, with meals made, and everything that they could possibly want. They failed to produce anything of value.

    So true, NP. So true. If my life were a cake walk, I'd have nothing to write about!

    ...and a true artist sees storms everywhere (and perhaps everyday too - poor soul)!

    All my best work comes that way;[ but it still takes me 5000 words and 20 pics to make my point!]

    Hello again! Thanks for your kind comment on my blog. Indeed it is during a storm that such songs get written, or perhaps in the aftermath.

    To some degree I do idenify with your aphorism. I have unleashed my creativity. I have no preconceived idea of what I’ll be painting but instead I allow the energy that flows through me to direct my brush. Someimes my paintings reflect past events and sometimes they don’t. Once I have created what I call a “PTSD painting” and anlayzed the event that gave rise to it, the expressed memory no longer carries the emotional charge it had when it lay unexpressed in the depths within me. Through art therpay I am letting go of the painful past; I am healing.

    It's just too bad I can't remember the songs I come up with once the storm is over..

    The best songs of my life were written in the storm.
