As a writer, I notice infinitely small details. The scuff on someone's shoe, the pace at which a ladybug crosses a leaf, the fifty shades of orange in a flower bloom, the sweep of someone's hair as they walk. I listen to the cadence in a person's voice and observe gestures and physical interaction. My artist father-in-law observed angles in architecture, contrast between light and dark, negative and positive space, variations in surface textures. My son is most aware of his surroundings through the sounds and rhythms they make - he is a musician. <br /><br />Fantastic exploration of a highly talented individual with a brilliant mind.
