The Artist/Metaphysician and his Screenwriter Mother

I think you know who the Artist is here. Yours truly. Metaphysician is a kind of loose term that would refer to my fascination with the visible and the non visible and how they are inseparable. The dance between the solid and the ephemeral. And yes I had a screenwriter Mother. And my Father was an actor who also wrote with my Mother. It was normal to see Mom walking around the house mumbling dialogue between characters in a story she was creating, as the dishes piled up in the kitchen sink! It was part of daily life at home for an actress or director or producer to drop by for a visit. Life at home was loaded with theatricality and story telling, and as a little boy I soaked up every bit of it. And this was in the 1950’s, The golden era. We lived in Encino Ca. which was kind of an enchanted village with movie people everywhere. John Wayne lived four blocks from us, Clark Gable lived a little ways down the road. Oh the stories I could tell! It would be a whole book in itself. It was an enchanted Time and place.
