Creative frustration

One other note: I sat tonight and listened to Drew express his creative frustration... that the things he dreams up now are no longer as "cool" or different as the things he used to think up three years ago. "It's all very conventional," he said.

It was a bit sad watching him realize this -- the maturity of his dreaming...

I will keep reminding him that he is still a 40 year old mind stuck in a kid's body (his words, not mine), and the key to joy is never losing sight of either one.
