Following your bliss is not self-indulgent, but vital; your whole physical system knows that this is the way to be alive in this world and the way to give to the world the very best that you have to offer. There IS a track just waiting for each of us and once on it, doors will open that were not open before and would not open for anyone else. - Joseph Campell

art history moment

van Gogh

I love van Gogh.  He is my favourite artist.  I have six of his prints on the walls of my home.  I stumbled upon this piece at {this is glamorous}, and the sight of it instantly brightened my mood.  So beautiful.  I have had the amazing luck to see a few of his works in person, and they actually make me cry.  It was almost a religious experience for me.  I love his work so much. 

Side note, Simon Shama's (love him) Power of Art has an amazing segment on van Gogh.  Andy Serkis plays him, and performs excerpts from Vincent's letters to Theo. I highly recommend it.  Netflix has it.

Love this . . .
