Perception.

9.14.2005

You look but you don't see . . .
Perception is a powerful thing. It can cause war, love, cult, rapture, intolerance; many, many things.

This is a painting by Vincent Van Gogh:


How does this painting make you feel? What is it that you perceive? What emotion does it bring from your depths?

Now, look at the image again. Did you know this was the last painting Van Gogh painted before he died? That as soon as he finished it, he pulled out a revolver and shot himself in the stomach? That three days later he died of infection?

How do you feel now? What is you perception now? What emotions rise up from your guts?

Malach's Quote of the Day.
A new feature to Dropping My Daily Stool Sample. I will post a new quote everyday. Today's I have two from Mr. Van Gogh.

When I have a terrible need of - shall I say the word - religion. Then I go
out and paint the stars.

It is the painting these days, that keeps me sane

Oh sorry, I meant Kordell Stewart . . .

Hey those Germans, they know how to kill things.
This is a great story . . . honestly though, if it brings down the price of gas?
