I have a great fondness for Van Gogh.
Recently I learned some new information
about him from a movie,
“Eternity’s Gate” I think,
with William Defoe, playing him.
There was a scene where Vincent
climbed up some very craggy
and difficult rocky landscape
(a proper Hike!!!) with all his painting gear.
And then he saw the entirety
of the landscape about him from up high,
and painted it, like a map,
the fields the houses all the borders between.
It reminded me of Growth in being
and how as we take in pain,
suffering impressions life itself.
We must give back and look to a broader view.
Like lightening,
the intense energy entering the container of the body,
it has to be grounded, interpreted.
And I love his effort in doing that.
