'You talk like a bourgeois. You are an artist. We do what we must to survive,' he said. 'But we must always create. You cannot let the circumstances - no matter how ugly, how painful - of the outer world destroy what gives you life.' I knew Vincent was right, but how to explain the 21st century to a man who wouldnt even know the term digital art? How what I need to work as an artist is bound in wires and towers and invisible energy transmitted through the atmosphere? I sighed. 'Yes, I know we must maintain that cathedral in our souls,' I answered. 'And I wont bore you with the details of what is necessary for me to do that. But as for love...well...' Vincent scowled. 'Love is beyond what happens between two people. Fill your heart with love of nature, love of life, love for being here on the earth able to express what fuels you. Look at these -' he gestured toward the flowers blooming at our feet. 'Even though no one cares for them or likely ever sees them, they unfold and share themselves. You must do the same...it is what you are meant to do. And now, goodbye. We shall meet again.' Everything faded and I awoke late to sunlight streaming in through a half-open shade. And here you see, in Vincents style, what I remember of that old, neglected garden and the flowers that still bloom there. Excerpted from 'The van Gogh Saga' copyright 2015 RC deWinter
