Creativity, peace, and aging

The older you get, the harder it is to be creative without large swathes of peace, quiet and solitude to sustain you. Or maybe that's just me?

I'm doing a lot of creating right now.  It's one of my strengths.  And I agree -- it takes time and space, especially when I'm trying to pull large amounts of information in new areas together into something I can present to others.  Currently, that's what I'm doing as I prepare for a series of Continuing Legal Education presentations I'll be making over the next few months.  Fun, but it takes time and space.  I find the need to mull things over a good bit.  We'll see how the final product turns out.

Sounds like that creativity is coming together!!! And silence somehow is pretty wonderful for that. Agreed.
