He said, “you are very unsparing with yourself.” Then I told my wife that 1) I am not the one in my works. I create a being who responds to life in his own way. It is only personal in that it is my creation and 2) when I became the wind I was quickly freed from the little boy being scolded. In truth, my wife of 56 years doesn't really scold me. She simply asked, “Did you mean to leave the burner on?”
