". . . and was beginning to get that superstitious feeling that if things kept going this well...the movie might be a good one." There is no mistaking that feeling that you've plugged your creativity into The Mystery, where you just need to pay attention and unwrap the Gifts as they arrive, and have the good sense not to tamper with them, but honor them as the miracles they are.
Thanks Steve. Perfectly said about “THE MIRACLES,” and ‘unwrapping’ them. Does each life get them, like I have during the filmmaking process? They may sometimes be hard to spot or understand.
I think we all arrive for our Earthly go-round with a bit of an agenda, and those agendas are unique and the sooner we learn to respect that uniqueness in each other the better. Your agenda seems to have been quite ambitious, and it’s been generous of you to share it with the rest of us in your movies and your books, especially the “this is how it happened” books. I’ve had to get past a certain amount of whining to the Maker about how I didn’t really get to experience the joy of “receiving” a poem or other piece of writing, and “know” I’m receiving a Gift, until my damn 70s. But I suspect that was part of my agenda, and I’m learning to just be grateful.
What a marvelous iteration of predicting the unpredictable, Rick. and you're right about the film gods, being first cousin to the painting gods. Oh, yes..art school, 1960s, escaping the draft then drafting an escape. I remember it all too well!

I have a painter friend, Jerry Lee Frost, who talks the same way about his paintings while he's painting them. I own several of his paintings.

The amount of experience behind your writing products is just right for delivering great stuff in your 70s.’ No one could be doing better than that!
