a fascinating subject; the poet i've cited described a world of wonder and exploration; as i have wandered through the city parks, by the rivers, to lakes and oceans -writing my poems and songs - i know that being an only child has been quite a gift in the discovery and development of my creativity.
i have to agree, joni, the times you have mentioned when being an only child affected your creativity in a positive way: <<But I have a painter's ego and I get a thrill of juxtaposing one color against another. I get like a private rush. I'm an only child. It's a form of solitary play. >> (http://www.austinchronicle.com/issues/vol18/issue06/music.jmitchell.html) shane
