What has been the biggest surprise has been the gift of new insights. "Slow down" is the message. "This moment," too. Look at your wife's smile and soak up her love and care. Then, enjoying the space to be able to listen and watch some TED talks on line.
Be the one who defines what success means to you--don't let others decide. "Genius" is a quality that passes into you--and out of you--similar to the muse. Go ahead and take on the responsibility to show up and do good work--but don't worry about accepting the responsibility of genius--it's not yours to accept anyway!
