These are interesting posts for me. I am re-reading Dr. Kay Jamison Redfield's book entitled "Touched With Fire" and was at the point tonight where she talks about the artist in the bipolar patient and how difficult it is to attribute the moods to the bipolar illness rather than to the giftedness of the artist--particularly the sensitivity and necessity to follow where their gifts demand.

I'd recommend that you read that work if you haven't already. It's very enlightening about the qualities of artists who are bipolar. Pearl Buck describes the artist so well that you feel she must be talking about bipolar sensitivity. (Please read Pearl Buck's description of the artist on the internet. It might amaze you regarding her knowledge about the creativity of the artist.)

It's late; I need to get to bed.

Talk to you tomorrow maybe.
