I have vague memories, like impressions on glass plates.
In fact, I thought my calling was to be a painter.
The things I thought would happen didn't. Things I never anticipated unfolded.
For Christmas every year, my mother used to give me those cheap little diaries that would tell your horoscope and provide a little blank slot for each day.
If the postman is saying hello to you, then I feel like, wow, thats something special.
The moment of creative impulse is what an artist gives you. You look at a Pollock, and it can't give you the tools to do a painting like that yourself, but in doing the work, Pollock shares with you the moment of creative impulse that drove him to do that work.
