You create out of what you lack. Not what you have.
Question 2: Did you have a better dream last night than I did? Because mine was pretty great.
I am an actor in a comical costume drama set in 17th-century Holland. In my dream I'm aware of playing a part but also thinking about my responsibilities as an actor playing a part. One of the things I have to do is to invent an idea for a painting that will feature in the drama. This is the title of the painting that I invented: Still Life with Hairpiece and Cheese.Question 3: Would you like to see a photograph of a very cute turnip harvested from my garden yesterday? It's about 2 inches in diameter. Who knew that turnips could be so charming?

"You create..." statement reminds me of a quote from an author whose name escapes me, something to do with if you don't see a book on a shelf that you want to read, write it. I'm not sure the two ideas (creating from lack, creating from what you have) are mutually exclusive; one must have something in order to create something new. I think it's a form of synthesis?
Hairpiece with Cheese. Sorry (not sorry?) all I can think of is Trump with a wedge of cheddar. Trump l'Oeil? (ew, pun)
And I love your turnip. It is undoubtedly cute. And, as veggies go, quite spherical.
Have a super day!
My book of poems arrived today. I'll be ready when wea are all collected.
Pun, Carlene? yes a groaner, but funny as a pun should be.
Lately there ahve been too many people in my dreams. They have been crowding me out and I have no place to be.
The Adelaide Clemens of turnips. But Carlene's Trump pun...uh, trumps. "Still life with hairpiece, cheese and root vegetable"--Breughel, if thou wert living at this hour...
p.s. (Rexroth has arrived here.)
