Italian director & screenwriter Mario Monicelli, 1915-2010, made comedic films. He created a genre, 'Italian-style comedy'. The endings had little comedy. Asked, in 1999, is "any subject off-limits for comedy?"
.
"No, if the eye is sensitive enough, all is possible." he replied.

Taken from NYTimes obit yesterday. SHIPMAN sent me the pic when he was in Italy this summer. Monicelli is now in my Netflix que. It's bittersweet adoring bleak beauty, a film genre my mother-in-law opened my eyes to. This is a type of art that feeds my creative muse. Do you actively feed your creative muse?

I read this Obit and thought it was fascinating.
I feed my muse by reading, walking, looking at art, meditating. Being open to seeing. By creating.
I so love your posts.
All of them.
What great quotes you mention, my dear):-
