psychology
Vincent van Gogh
was it an act of self harm or was it a self-fulfilling prophecy?
is there a connection between the choice of cutting off his ear and his fear of criticism as an artist? why his ear unless he feared what others would say? did his fear drive him to madness or did cutting off the part of him that was vulnerable make him mad? which came first? his fear of not being renowned came true but look at the consequences. is it better to be known as an artist who cut off his ear or for the art itself that caused the madness?
the evolution
they say there’s
an angel in
side of us all
but i say
there’s
two
and while the one rises
the other must
fall
born together
neither could the one
ex ist with out
the other
this is a
truth so confounding
God herself
came to be
enfleshed
to even ex-press it
though the light shines
in the darkness it is not
overcome
nor is it
com-prehended
were we to listen
to the better angels of our
nature
they could
inevitably
redeem us
from this un-whole-y
communion
creatures such as we are
holy mixture of piss and
shit and light
it's evo-lution baby
see this ocean
within
ascend to the clouds
suspended there
between
dawn and dust
to rain again
another day
