"I feel the desire to renew myself,
and try to apologize
for the fact that my pictures are,
after all,
almost
a cry of anguish,
although in
the rustic sunflower
they may symbolize
gratitude."
Vincent VanGough,
"The way to know life is to love many things."
As I was running today, I noticed a whole throng of sunflowers still perfectly in bloom despite the drought. It made me think of supernatural sustainment.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful thought to go with a beautiful photograph. I know I haven't commented on every flower but I have stopped by everyday!!:)

Thanks for quadrupling my sunflower joy this morning, Jodi!
ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed your sunflowers. They must have been rolling around in my subconscious because I just posted a painting on my blog.
ReplyDeleteThat's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWow...I've never really heard those thoughts by Vangough...you really just think about his very sad life.
